Schenker xmg apex 15 (late 23) review

Tester

87.1% XMG Apex 17 (sent 23) recension: en QHD gaming laptop med en RTX 4060 | NotebookcheckXMG Apex 17 bevisar att bärbara speldatorer inte behöver vara särskilt högljudda: Trots hög prestanda (Ryzen 7 7840HS, GeForce RTX 4060) lyckas datorn vara tystlåten. Detta åtföljs av väl avrundade specifikationer och anständig batteritid.

Kommentarer

SCHENKER:

De här grafikkorten bör klara av alla nuvarande spel med acceptabel bildfrekvens, men inte nödvändigtvis med höga inställningar. Särskilt krävande spel kanske bara fungerar med låga inställningar. Till skillnad från prestandakorten hittar man däremot de här grafikkorten i bärbara datorer av lite mindre format med bättre batteritid.

Важные подробности о грядущей линейке процессоров AMD Ryzen 7040HS «Phoenix»

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaOpgtZR4GIVideo can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: AMD’s New 4nm 7940HS vs M1 & M2 Pro! Apple Silicon Killer? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaOpgtZR4GI)

Будущие чипы с низким энергопотреблением обеспечат исключительную одноядерную производительность чипов Ryzen 7000 еще большему количеству устройств, особенно тем, которые обычно не требуют массивных радиаторов и механизмов охлаждения. Во многих отношениях ноутбуки на базе этих чипов идеально подходят для игр и портативности.

Характеристики и ожидаемая производительность

На данный момент в грядущей линейке высокопроизводительных ноутбуков Zen 4 Ryzen 7040HS есть три WeU. К ним относятся шестиядерный Ryzen 5 7640HS, восьмиядерный процессор среднего класса Ryzen 7 7840HS и высокопроизводительный Ryzen 9 7940HS.

Интересно, что флагманский чип содержит не более восьми чипов. В основном он зависит от слегка улучшенной одноядерной производительности и более высоких рабочих тактовых частот для обеспечения дополнительной частоты кадров в видеоиграх.

Все эти чипы можно разогнать до 5 ГГц или выше. Team Red строго придерживается этой тенденции для каждого чипа Zen 4. Чипы для ноутбуков, однако, имеют меньшую тепловую мощность, поскольку все они могут работать с минимальной мощностью 35 Вт. В зависимости от модели ноутбука чипы Ryzen 7040HS могут быть рассчитаны на максимальную мощность 45 Вт.

Модель	Ядра/потоки	Повышение/базовая частота (ГГц)	Кэш (МБ)	Расчетная мощность (Вт)
AMD Райзен 9 7940HS	8/16	До 5,2/4,0	40	35 – 45
AMD Райзен 7 7840HS	8/16	До 5,1/3,8	40	35 – 45
AMD Райзен 5 7640HS	6/12	До 5,0/4,3	38	35 – 45

Эти чипы являются более дешевой альтернативой более дорогим Ryzen 7040HX «Dragon Range», которые уже официально дебютировали на рынке.

Дата выпуска

Американская компания официально заявила, что первые ноутбуки на этих маломощных чипах начнут выпускаться в апреле этого года. Таким образом, у нас нет точной даты после недавнего объявления о месячной задержке.

Предстоящий запуск процессора Ryzen 7040HS сделает Zen 4 доступным еще большему количеству пользователей по всему миру. Исключительная производительность этих чипов гарантирует, что в видеоигры можно играть, как никогда раньше.

The competition

Well, err, other than other Clevo vendors that offer the same chassis, there’s no real competition for now from Intel. As a reminder, the XMG Apex 15 costs under €2,700 ($3,054) including tax and shipping (in the EU) with the current configuration with the processor accounting for nearly a third of the price.

Go overboard with 8TB of storage (dual 2TB Seagate Firecuda 510 with a 4TB 860 QVO SSD), 64GB of RAM and a three year premium warranty and you’d still only manage to add another €1,500 ($1,697) and that’s not a lot. We dare even say that it is a (relative) bargain, one made even better by the fact that you can order the laptop without Windows, saving you a few more Euros.

Testrapporten

87.1% XMG Apex 17 (eind 23) review: een QHD gaming laptop met een RTX 4060 | NotebookcheckDe XMG Apex 17 bewijst dat gaming laptops niet veel geluid hoeven te produceren: Ondanks prestaties op hoog niveau (Ryzen 7 7840HS, GeForce RTX 4060) slaagt de computer erin om stil te draaien. Dit gaat gepaard met goed afgeronde specificaties en een fatsoenlijke batterijlevensduur.

Games Average

This graph shows how much faster or slower Intel was in each game at 1080p

AMD’s Ryzen 7 7840HS outperformed Intel’s Core i7-13700H by an average of just 19.7% at 1080p across the five games that were tested. The best case Shadow of the Tomb Raider was 17.9% faster with Intel at the top, while Watch Dogs Legion was faster on AMD.

This graph shows how much faster or slower Intel was in each game at 1440p.

There is even less of a difference when using the higher 1440p resolution because more pixels typically use the GPU. Basically, it doesn’t really matter which of these CPUs you choose if you’re gaming at 1440p and higher.

This, in my opinion, makes it easier for us to quickly and easily see the overall differences visually. As we’ve been discussing, there aren’t any significant differences between these processors.

Gaming Benchmarks

When it comes to gaming, if you’ve tested both laptops across 5 games at 1080p and 1440p resolutions without using any upscaling.

Spider-Man Remastered

Let’s start out with Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered. Intel was ahead in both tests, with an 11% higher average FPS at 1080p, but then only a 2% lead at the higher 1440p resolution. That said, Intel still has better 1% lows, which means less dips in performance.

Watch Dogs: Legion

In Watch Dogs Legion, AMD took the lead. It performed better than Intel at both the standard and higher resolutions, not just in average speed but also in maintaining consistent performance with fewer dips.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Shadow of the Tomb Raider showed Intel’s strongest performance compared to AMD. Intel was 12% faster at 1080p and 11% faster at the 1440p, which was the biggest difference seen in the five games tested.

A Plague Tale: Requiem

A Plague Tale Requiem was a close match, but AMD edged out slightly, being 3 frames per second faster at the standard resolution. This was the second-largest lead that AMD had in these tests.

DOOM Eternal

Lastly, DOOM Eternal was another win for Intel, showing a 12% faster performance at 1080p and 8% faster at the 1440p, making it the second-best performance difference for Intel in these comparisons.

Тестируем производительность процессора

Стандартная программа AMD показывает нам конечно не все параметры, тем не менее играем в асасина на максималках, паралельно смотрим ютуб 4к и серафим вот что он нам выдаёт:

Отметим что моментами производительность компьютера ограничивала только скорость интернета:)

Так как нам этого не достаточно, обращаемся к старому доброму CPU-Z bench:

Вот с такими показателями он проходит тест и выдает полные параметры процессора:

Результатом мы довольны. Особенно в сравнении с другими моделями процессоров, которые программа считает конкурентами – их ценник кратно дороже нашего процессора Ryzen.

keyboard and trackpad

The APEX 17 has a classic German QWERTZ keyboard with a number pad. The latter is always a matter of taste.

In itself, however, the keyboard of the notebook is decent! The typing feel is precise and crisp and the stroke is good. I would say this is a “good+” keyboard for both gaming and typing.

Only the illumination of the keyboard is “unspectacular”. It does its job, but is nothing special.

However, I’m a bit torn when it comes to the trackpad. In itself, this is nice and big and feels quite good (the surface). But the tracking was a bit “jumpy” for me. The trackpad sometimes worked great, then suddenly the pointer made a small jump or registered a gesture.

Maybe it’s a driver problem, because I’m usually used to something better from XMG.

Price Difference

Lenovo Legion Slim 5	Lenovo Legion Slim 5i
Check Price	Check Price

At the time of writing, the AMD model of the Lenovo Legion Slim 5i reviewed is priced at $1200 USD, maintaining identical specifications. In contrast, opting for the Intel variant incurs an additional $80. It’s important to note that prices can fluctuate significantly based on the specifications selected.

Currently, AMD appears to deliver superior cost-effectiveness, especially given the existing price points. Indeed, while the Intel version slightly outperforms in gaming, the margin does not justify an $80 premium. Moreover, when considering non-gaming tasks, such as the Cinebench 2024 multicore performance, AMD also demonstrates a more advantageous value proposition.

While tackling single-core tasks, the Ryzen 7 7840U holds a slight 2% advantage, reaching a score of 1937, while the Ryzen 7 7840HS scores 1891, highlighting the former’s marginal lead in single-core processing.

Geekbench 5 (Multi-Core)

Geekbench 5 (Multi-Core) Performance Benchmarks – Image Credits (Tech4Gamers)

When it comes to the realm of multitasking, the  Ryzen 7 7840HS maintains a significant 33% lead, scoring 13831, while Ryzen 7 7840U scores 10391, reinforcing its superior performance in handling parallel tasks.

Performance, hohe Powerlimits!

The heart of the XMG APEX 17 M23 is the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS. The AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS is a top current 8 core CPU with up to 4.75 Ghz.

XMG relies on a TDP of 54W+! Usually this is a 35-45W CPU. Due to the higher maximum TDP, the Ryzen 7 7735HS can achieve a higher clock and thus more performance under full load.

To put it silly, the Ryzen 7 7735HS in the XMG APEX 17 M23 is faster than in many other notebooks with the same CPU.

In practice, I could even observe a CPU power consumption of 80W+ in “Overboost” mode, with a pure CPU load. Impressive!

On the GPU side, you have two models to choose from:

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 | 6 GB GDDR6 | 115 W TGP* (+ 25 W Dynamic Boost) |
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 115 W TGP* (+ 25 W Dynamic Boost) |

I would probably lean towards the RTX 4060 here, just because of the 8GB vs. 6GB VRAM. Here, too, we have quite high power limits with 115W.

First, let’s look at a few benchmarks.

This is where it gets exciting! Because there is an oddity. The APEX 17 performs particularly well in benchmarks that require high performance for a long time!

For example, in the rather short Cinebench 20 test, the notebook only came in 3rd place. In the long Cinebench 23 test (10 minutes constant load), it clearly came in 1st place!

The same with the Handbrake Video Encoding Test.

This means that the APEX 17 is also very exciting in terms of performance for video editing!

But how does it look in games?

Unsurprisingly very good! We easily exceeded the 60 FPS limit even in poorly optimized games like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey or demanding AAA games like Hogwarts Legacy.

In games like Overwatch or Diablo 4 we break the 100 FPS limit on ultra quality.

The APEX 17 M23 thus scratches the performance of RTX 3080 notebooks or can even surpass models with lower power limits! Impressive!

Final verdict

The XMG Apex 15 is built like a vintage supercar: very (very) noisy and not very economical petrol-wise but OMG, pedal to the floor, it can reach speeds that, only a decade ago would have landed it somewhere on the TOP500 list of supercomputers. And while we can complain about the battery life, one thing that did surprise us is the relatively affordable price especially when compared to comparable desktop solutions.

Improvements? We’d love to have bigger, hot swappable batteries on this desktop replacement monster. It is a bit of a travesty that the far lighter (and thinner) Clevo-based PC specialist Lafite Pro laptop we tested recently had a much bigger battery.

We’re keen on seeing an 8TB SSD drive offered as an option (like the new Samsung 870 QVO or the Sabrent Rocket Q 8TB) which would pave the way for a 24TB workstation. After all, why not? Idem for a potential upgrade route to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GPU, the fastest one around. Oh and do kill that lonely USB 2.0 port.

The XMG APEX 17 M23 in review

The APEX 17 is a big notebook! This shouldn’t come as a surprise with the 17-inch display, but making the APEX as “portable” as possible didn’t seem to have had top priority.

The notebook is 24.9 mm thick and weighs 2.47 kg.

This isn’t too thick or bulky, but there are definitely lighter and thinner notebooks out there with comparable performance on paper.

On the other hand, the notebook also appears to be built quite massively and stably. However, XMG uses its standard “design” here. We have a completely black notebook, which itself has a very clean design. While we do have a few more “flashy” edges and shapes, the APEX remains simple overall.

The largest part of the notebook is made of plastic, only the lid is made of metal.

The connections of the APEX 17 are distributed over three sides.

2x USB-A 3.2 Gen1 (powered) card reader (SD/SDHC/SDXC) power supply connection RJ45 port (LAN) HDMI 2.1 (G-SYNC compatible | HDCP 2.3 | 48 Gbps) USB-C 3.2 Gen2×1 (DisplayPort: no | Power Delivery: no) Mini DisplayPort 1.4a (G-SYNC compatible | 2 streams with a total of 32.4 Gbps) Headphone output (compatible with combi plug headsets) Microphone input USB-A 2.0 (powered)

This is a decent set of ports for an AMD notebook, although I wouldn’t have objected to a USB C 4 port.

Included with the APEX 17 is an FSP 230W power supply.

Дисплей и качество изображения

Если про важность процессора и графики уже понятно, то расскажем и другие важные моменты в ноутбуке, ориентированном для геймеров, на примере сегодняшней модели. В нашем ноутбуке установлена 16-дюймовая IPS панель с разрешением 2560 x 1600 пикс (WQXGA) — и это потрясающая смесь, так как для игр все же 14 дюймов кажется маловато

Также важно, чтобы ноутбук поддерживал технологии G-Sync и FreeSync Premium, которые исключают разрывы и зависания во время игры. Показателей яркости должно хватать для работы даже при ярком освещении. Наш ноутбук сочетает в себе все эти пункты, к тому же у него великолепная цветопередача, которая показывает насыщенные и правильные цвета, а это значит, что за ним спокойно можно заниматься монтажом фото\видео.

XMG Core 15 with Ryzen 4800H and RTX 2060 Review

The XMG Core 15 (AMD) is the third AMD Ryzen Renoir notebook I am testing. You can find my review of the MSI Bravo 15 here. While offering great performance, an AMD GPU and a fair display, the lack of display outputs (it only had one HDMI port, which only supported 4k at 30Hz, NO Displayport or USB-C Displayport alt mode) prevented me using it as my everyday notebook.

Процессор

Процессоры кто это? Это Intel и AMD. И если Intel долгое время считался «золотым стандартом», то последние поколения процессоров AMD, в частности новенький Ryzen 7 7840HS, о котором мы говорим сегодня, доказали, что рынок становится все более конкурентоспособным.

Скорость реакции и обработки задач ноутбука по-настоящему впечатляет. Даже если вы совсем не геймер и выбираете ноут для разнообразных задач вы точно заметите то, насколько он быстрый! Он моментально запускается, открывает приложения и браузер. Игры и приложения запускаются за несколько секунд. И стоит сказать что не каждый ноутбук так может. Большинство ноутбуков на виндовс отличались именно своей медлительностью, но не здесь.

Процессор AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS базируется на архитектуре Zen 4, благодаря которой связываются все 8 ядер процессора, кэш, контроллеры памяти и данные между ними передаются максимально быстро. Как раз это дает процессору такую скорость реакции на все задачи.

8-ми ядерный Ryzen 7 идеально подходит для многозадачности: будь то игры, стриминг или сложные вычисления. Можно спокойно играть в топовые игры, вести стрим, слушать музыку и запускать программы фоном без зависаний. Среднее тепловыделение 45 Вт и может понижаться до 35 Вт и повышаться до 54 Вт.

Вот так должна выглядеть мощь. Что внутри, то и снаружи!

Представь, ты один из первых загружаешь свежую игровую новинку или просто любимую игру. Эпичные битвы, захватывающие гонки, мы играли в разные игры, не было никаких зависаний на максимальном качестве графики. Загрузка и сохранения вообще не заметны, мы узнали за счёт чего – благодаря улучшенному управлению кешем и более быстрому доступу к памяти.

Если перейти к вопросам производительности в приложениях и программировании, процессор AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS тоже хорошо показал себя. Для разработчиков и дизайнеров, работающих в программах, таких как Blender, Adobe Premiere Pro или Visual Studio, этот процессор обеспечивает быструю компиляцию кода, рендеринг и обработку видео. Думаем, что техника на процессоре AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS прослужит долгие годы и будет актуальна для всех новинок в мире игр.

Conclusion

When it comes to gaming, the choice between Intel and AMD doesn’t make a big difference with the latest models. If you’re looking to save money, just pick the cheaper one since their gaming performance is almost identical. The type of work you do on your computer might sway your decision if it’s not just for gaming.

If the prices are similar and battery life isn’t a big concern for you, then Intel is a good choice, especially if you’re focused on gaming. Really, the decision isn’t that critical; both CPUs are solid choices. What’s more important is the overall quality of the laptop you choose, rather than the processor alone.
