GPD Win Max 2 AMD Ryzen 7 6800U 16GB RAM / 1TB M.2 SSD Laptop Tablet 10.1

Product Information

Thing is, the performance of this implementation degrades over time. The Ryzen 7 APU starts running at25W in some titles, but then the power gradually descends towards 18W and even 15W in some titles such as Doom or Dota 2. That’s illustrated by the log below. As far as the software goes, this ZenBook gets the standard MyAsus app which allows control over the power profiles, battery and screen settings, updates, etc.

For more day-to-day tasks and graphics acceleration (or light gaming), the Ryzen 7 6800U is the best of the bunch. Some creative pros can get away with this level of performance, but if you work with media that requires a powerful GPU, this is still not the tier for you.

Radeon RX 6850M XT – designed for 1440p+ gaming, with a design power of 130-165 W, meant for full-size performance notebooks; According to overall laptop weight including battery, as of January 17, 2022 based on internal ASUS market analysis comparing Zenbook S 13 OLED (UM5302) with competing products in its class (laptops with an OLED screen measuring 13.3 inches diagonal) from vendors including Acer, Apple, HP, Huawei, Lenovo, Microsoft and Samsung. The good news is that, yes, technically, the Zenbook S 13 OLED is user upgradeable, with some repairable parts. The bad news is that I get the sense that Asus really doesn't want you to open this thing. The latest update of this article provides a detailed list of all the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U, Ryzen 7 7735U, Ryzen 7 7730U, and Ryzen 7 6800U laptops available in stores as of the second part of 2023, and explains the specs and performance of these existing AMD Ryzen 7000 U platforms, as well as of the previous-gen Ryzen 6000 and 5000 mobile hardware. And AMD then has jumped the gun on Intel two times, a) by offering APUs that did offer much better iGPU performance at similr prices (e.g. Kaveri) and b) by allocating iGPU silicon real-estate to CPU cores instead, doubling core vs. Intel at the same process size and price point (Zen 1/2/3).

Asus are still implementing an Ergolift hinge that lifts the main chassis on small rubber feet placed at the bottom of the screen, allowing for improved airflow into the fans. It works well and the laptop sits stably on the desk even when leaning on those tiny screen feet. Performance – allows the hardware to run at ~15-25W in sustained loads, with fans ramping up to 40 dB; Nonetheless, even in this implementation, you can expect 60+ fps in most of the casual games available today, or in older titles, but also 30+ fps in AAA demanding titles such as Far Cry 6 or Shadow of Tomb Raider. Finally, for biometrics, there’s a finger-sensor with Hello support included in the power button, but no IR-capable camera, although it was available in the past ZenBook models. Screen

and medium quality was still asking just a bit too much of the integrated Radeon 680M, but adjusting the resolution to 1600x900 should get most games into the 30 fps or higher range. These are also relatively demanding games, so lighter fare shouldn't be a problem.

In terms of the Ryzen 7 6800U, CPU performance hasn't increased substantially comparing this generation to the previous: Zen 3+All in all, the new Ryzen 7 6800U, with its power limits, is a suitable processor for compact laptops. However, performance is somewhat reduced in battery mode because the processor is only allowed to consume a maximum of 18 watts, which drops to 16 watts after a few seconds. This does not affect single-core performance, while multi-core performance is about 25% lower. In Whisper mode at 12 watts, multi-core performance drops by around 35%.

I don't know if its vastly bigger caches or software drivers that know how to use them in such a way that only the final render has to suffer from the relatively low bandwidth of their DDR4/5 frame buffers. Where 48EUs on a Gen8 NUC with the bigger Iris Plus only offered 50% uplift of performance vs. the 24EU NC Gen10 iGPU, the 96EU iGPU on the Gen11 NUC reached 4x the performance of the 24EU variant or linear uplift. I understand that you want to publish fast and that a proper GPU evaluation may be more involved, so I can only hope that will come very soon. The cooling module has been redesigned. Fresh air still comes inside through the open grills on the bottom of the laptop, but the radiator was moved to the left edge, so the hot air no-longer blows into the screen. To me, this is a major upgrade for this S 13 generation. The Ryzen 7 6800U is an AMD Rembrandt 6000 processor, with 8 Cores and 16 Threads. This is a revision of the Ryzen 5000 platform previously implemented in the 2021 ZenBook 13 reviewed here (5800U model) and here (5600U model). reviewed here– 2022 model; premium metal build; ThinkPad keyboard, haptic touchpad; 16-inch 16:10 screen, with touch/matte IPS or touch 4K OLED panels; AMD Advantage design with Ryzen and RX specs, soldered memory, single M.2 NVME storage slot; 72 Wh battery and 135W USB-C charger; dual up-firing speakersThen we have two Intel chips. First, the Acer Aspire Vero is running an Intel Core i7-1195G7. This is roughly a Ryzen U series equivalent (the G denotes a superior integrated graphics chip but the processing power is in the same tier) and runs up to 28 watts. This is an 11th Generation “Tiger Lake” processor, not Intel’s latest 12th Generation; we have yet to test an Alder Lake U series processor. But these types of G processors are also found in many thinner laptops from the last couple of years, making this comparison plenty relevant if anyone is looking at upgrading. The tables are flipped for the Agisoft Metashape photogrammetry benchmark. This workload is mostly GPU bound on ultraportable-class processors, and we see a decent 40 percent performance lead to the 6800U here over the 1260P. It actually manages to beat the 12900HK despite the much lower level of power usage. Gaming Benchmarks If you want something with a wider variety of ports while still being sleek and slim, the Lenovo Yoga 9i, a 14-inch Intel-based 2-in-1, may be up your alley. But in our testing, it was slightly behind in performance and more expensive when similarly configured. It did, however, have a slightly higher quality OLED display. ASUS Antibacterial Guard protection is applied to both the keyboard and palm-rest area. The touchpad area is not treated with ASUS Antibacterial Guard. The Asus Zenbook S 13 is a very successful compact notebook that combines many modern technological features with the brand-new Ryzen 7 6800U from AMD. We did not encounter any real weak points in the review process and our positive impressions clearly outweigh the negative ones.
