About this deal

I also added a few other iGPU platforms from AMD and Intel, for comparison. Here’s what we got. Low settings Keep in mind that we’re constantly working on updating these lists, yet the information is scarce right now, and some of the info is based on leaks or rumors. Radeon RX 6850M XT – designed for 1440p+ gaming, with a design power of 130-165 W, meant for full-size performance notebooks;

Fran- said:Too bad you didn't do gaming, but it reads like a very decent competitor in the segment.The Zenbook S 13 is equipped with a 16:10 OLED screen that offers a high resolution of 2,880 x 1,800 on its 13.3-inch diagonal. The subjective picture quality, with its with vivid colors and sharp content, is very good. The iGPU is the main differentiator of the 6800U vs the 5800U, so to leave it out is missing the USP: very disappointing! Its superiority is pretty straightforward, resulting in the best graphics horsepower you’ll get in thin systems like these that are not using any type of discrete GPU. On the flip side, you can see how far the gap is to a real GPU—the G14’s Radeon RX 6800S is leaps and bounds ahead. For gaming and any professional 3D work, you’d want a real dedicated GPU like that. By popular demand, we are working on a suite of battery life tests for laptops and we're just showing an early teaser for this review, especially as we didn't have a ton of time to complete all the testing. With these out of the way, we also ran a couple of DX11, DX12, and Vulkan titles on the Performance profile of this Ryzen 7 6800U with Radeon 680M graphics, at FHD+ resolution, with Low/Lowest graphics settings.

There’s little to complain about the overall thermal performance of this design, even closer to the 25W sustained power settings. Still, fresh air intake is somewhat choked with the laptop sitting on the desk, so you should consider opting for a cooling pad for long work/gaming sessions. When I used the laptop, I felt that the laptop was a bit warm to the touch. That’s not in a way that would burn my fingers or even stop me from using it, but more noticeable than on some other laptops I've used. The latest platform features like DDR5 memory and USB4 are supported, and the whole thing is built on TSMC's N6 node. It was only on behest of Apple demanding better iGPU performance that Intel started their Iris Plus/Pro souped up 48/96 vs. the normal 24EU iGPUs which put 64/128MB of EDRAM on the die carrier to achieve the bandwidth required to make use of the extra GPU cores. It outscores the Intel Core i7-1260P or i5-1240P running at higher power (30W, 28W respectively) by about 20%, and outscores the Ryzen 7 5800U in the ZenBook 13 by about 20% as well, but that’s mostly a result of this generation running at 25W, while the previous only ran at sub-20W. At similar power, the generational gains between the two in this CPU-taxing load are at around 5-7%.The new AMD Ryzen 7 6800Uleaves a very good impression so far. The single-core performance is not as good as on the new Alder Lake chips, but the multi-core performance is comparable and the new Ryzen CPU is way more efficient. AMD also managed to improve the integrated GPU, but we will take a closer look at the new RDNA2 GPU in a separate article. Personally I just love looking at Google Maps in the "earth mode" with Globe View enabled and satellite data being rendered into 3D by some nifty AIs.
