ROG's Zephyrus M16 should not be unfamiliar to everyone. Last year , Bonnie had unpacked this cool machine , and it is also a model that has received a lot of inquiries this year. In fact, the reason is very simple . An all-round model of the bowl. When it comes to all-round models , there are probably several elements , including weight and performance. The appearance of the screen is good-looking but not too high-profile. The design can be used in different occasions. It must be powerful enough to handle daily documents and satisfy For high-performance creative needs or casual gaming needs, of course, you need to get a good screen. The key point is that the weight of the body must be taken away. After all, as an all-round notebook, the target group is composite users. It is to cover the largest demand as much as possible under a certain volume. This is also the goal of the all-round notebook. Follow Bonnie to measure the actual performance of the Zephyrus M16. Let's take a look first . The appearance of the Zephyrus M16 is basically the same as the design of the A side. The previous generation Zephyrus M16 is similar. It still uses the matte cover with dot matrix design, and also retains the iridescent coating design in the dot matrix circular hole. It is usually low-key enough on the table , but at some angles, it will flash and cross . The colorful meteors in the dark night, while the ROG in the lower left corner retains the classic bright nameplate. The A side is simple and neat and can be easily integrated into various usage scenarios . On the I/O sockets, most of the sockets are on the left side , including the power socket . One HDMI port is only 2.0b. It’s a pity that there is no HDMI 2.1, but the Type C next to it has video output that supports DP 1.4, followed by the RJ45 network port, one USB A and two USB C ports , which can be connected to external GPUs. The Thunderbolt 4 jack is the other one, and the other USB C is USB 3.2 Gen 2 and supports DisplayPort 1.4 video output. Bonnie has measured that both USB C jacks support up to 100W PD charging. Finally , there is a 3.5mm jack. The right side also provides an anti-theft lock. The MicroSD and USB A ports are quite sufficient overall , but Bonnie still thinks it would be more practical if the SD card slot was full size. Weight The ROG Zephyrus M16 keeps the weight of the single machine at about 2 kg this year, and after adding the original charger, it is about 2.7 kg. In terms of performance laptops, it is still a light model at 16 inches and 2 kg , which can be taken with you. When going out for documents and meetings , you can also choose a smaller PD charger , so you don’t need to go out with a transformer, and the whole will be lighter. In addition , the top cover of the Zephyrus M16 can also be opened and closed with one hand, and the maximum can also be completely flat . It also has the ErgoLift design on the hinge. When it is opened , the top cover will further support the fuselage. In addition to further helping heat dissipation , the typing feel will also be improved. It is more comfortable. By the way, the bottom of Zephyrus M16 also has thicker rubber pads this time . A friend asked in the last episode . Why ? In the case of the above, the adhesive strip can provide a certain degree of cooling space when the screen is not turned on. Of course, it also has the additional effect of providing a certain degree of buffering when it is dropped. Then we see that the B-side screen is also the four sides that everyone liked very much last year. The narrow bezel design and the screen ratio have also reached 94% of the very rare performance laptops. Regarding the issue that everyone cares about the air outlet blowing the screen directly, Bonnie asked PM when he presented it during this year's CES exhibition, and they said that in fact, this air outlet has the most Optimize the position of the air duct so that the wind is as close to the bottom frame as possible, but Bonnie will actually test the actual performance later. This time, there is a big change to Zephyrus M16, except that the top video lens is also retained, which is more convenient for regular video meetings. Once on Zephyrus M16, the face recognition module of Windows Hello was added . It can be unlocked even in low light, so the original fingerprint recognition was changed to face recognition. Which biometric recognition do you prefer ? Leave a message below and tell Bonnie. In terms of performance, the performance of this screen is still very good. It uses a 16-inch 16:10 2K QHD 165Hz ROG Nebula IPS display. The surface of the screen is treated with a matte surface. The response time also reaches 3ms and supports Adaptive-Sync adaptive synchronization technology . In terms of color, it also has PANTONE certification and supports Dolby Vision Dolby Vision video streaming. It has been tested by Bonny that NETFLIX can successfully light Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision . The color gamut coverage of this screen of Zephyrus M16 has been tested by Bonny . 100% sRGB, 87% Adobe RGB and 99% DCI-P3 are very, very good in color rendering. The key point is that the color accuracy is also very good. The average Delta E is only 0.61 . It can also be used for creative use . In the brightness part of the screen, Bonnie has measured the indoor maximum. The brightness is about 430 nits . Overall, Bonnie believes that the screen is really a threshold for all-round laptops. The screen is good enough to better cover the creative needs . Usually , it is more comfortable to watch dramas, slide web pages, and play games. Then I see C. The face ROG still retains the fog The skin-like coating on the surface is delicate and comfortable to touch. The power button is also placed on the upper right side, but because of the addition of face recognition , there is no fingerprint recognition function. The upper row is also the independent volume button and microphone switch design that Bonnie likes. It can be quickly activated. The ROG keys of ARMOURY CRATE use the full-area RGB backlight on the keyboard. You can also choose RGB mode in ARMOURY CRATE. In the keyboard part , this year's Zephyrus M16 uses the same Stealth Type silent keyboard design. In short, the key feel is also ROG . The classic film offset Q key travel reaches 1.7mm , which is very good , and with the blessing of Stealth Type, it is really quiet on tapping. The following Bonnie also provides an actual measurement for your reference. Finally, the touchpad is also enlarged. The design gives a good review. The hand feel is also delicate and smooth, and there is also mute processing , but the feedback does not have much impact, and the rebound is neat enough. Then let's not talk nonsense and go directly to the Zephyrus M16 performance test. This generation of ROG Zephyrus M16 performance has been pulled up again. One lap is equipped with the 12th generation Intel Core i9-12900H 6P + 8E's 14-core 20-thread architecture , which is really strong this year. With a new wave of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, the frequency can be up to 1085MHz. See the wattage part this time. It is from the 80W of the previous generation to 100W . With Dynamic Boost, the maximum can reach 120W . Although it is not full of blood, it is actually as full as possible in this volume. Wait for Bonnie to bring a more complete test for your reference. We still have to take into account the mobility . After all, if you want the ultimate performance , there is a beast like the Strix SCAR 17 SE. The positioning of the product is selected according to different needs . The memory part is composed of DDR5 4800MHz 16GB+16GB. The 32GB configuration also supports dual channels . It is worth mentioning that this generation is also a combination of 16GB on board and a single Samsung 16GB. Because it is an on board model, gamers have less problem, but friends who have creative needs will recommend Bonnie. Go straight to the 16+16GB version , and if you really want to expand it, it can reach up to 48GB , but in fact, if you take it apart, you can see that the interior of the Zephyrus M16 is indeed relatively compact. It depends on whether there is some black magic that can make the dual slot Here comes the storage space part. This time, it is matched with Micron's 1TB m.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD. The sequential read and write measurements reached 6467 MB/s and In terms of heat dissipation, Zephyrus M16 also uses two sets of 84-blade Arc Flow fans on the left and right . Liquid gold is used on the CPU to further enhance the heat conduction effect. It is matched with 6 sets of heat pipes and directional airflow design. However, how does the actual heat dissipation performance perform? It will be tested later . It is worth mentioning that the overall fan of this generation Zephyrus M16 will reach about 58db when the Armoury Crate selects the extreme speed mode . Turn on and use the performance mode normally , the overall volume will enter the range that is easier to ignore, and it will be more comfortable to use. In addition , this Zephyrus M16 also comes with a 1-month XBOX Game Pass for PC subscription . You can take the time to experience XBOX Game Pass for free. There are more than 100 games and then Bonnie will directly take you to see the actual performance. Then we see the running score performance . First of all, we see Cinebench R23 . From the results, we can see that this year's ROG is relatively brave in the performance release of Zephyrus M16 (2022). The single- core score reached 1921 points, and the multi-core score reached 18207 points. Compared with the 11th generation Intel Core i9-11900H equipped with the previous generation ROG Zephyrus M16 (2022) , the single-core improvement reached 21% . There is a good performance, and the multi-core improvement has reached 47% , which is almost 1.5 times higher than last year's performance . This year's cooling module pressure should be quite large. After all, the GPU wattage has also been pulled up. If we look further , this year's ROG Zephyrus M16 (2022) also surpassed the 10th generation Intel desktop platform. The single- core improvement reached 36% , and the multi-core exceeded 10% . The 12th generation Intel Core processor is really strong. Bonnie also helped you to measure the ROG Zephyrus M16 (2022). ) The actual performance in Premiere Pro also uses the NVIDIA Studio version of the driver . First of all, it is a general 4K editing requirement test . The 4K original film with a total length of 10 minutes undergoes simple color correction and mixing. The output uses the default YouTube 4K format of Premiere Pro. In this project, the ROG Zephyrus M16 (2022) took only 200 seconds to complete a 10-minute 4K video output, which is 22% faster than last year and 14% faster than the 10th generation Intel desktop platform. % or so and then to measure the heavy editing , it will be used for high performance needs such as Bonnie. Using context to grade and mix AE animation material and multi-track editing will also be a bit more complicated . It can be seen that ROG Zephyrus M16 (2022) performs very well in more severe test projects, especially in most of the previous tests . Seeing that the GPU wattage does have an impact on the performance of accelerated output, but it is relatively limited. Based on this set of results, the 12th generation Intel Core i9-12900H will be about 20% faster than the Intel Core i7-12700H. Professional performance, let's look at the game performance first. First of all, we saw 3DMark Time Spy . The 120W GeForce RTX 3070 Ti on this year's ROG Zephyrus M16 (2022) scored 11187 points, and the difference between the full-blooded 150W GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and the full-blooded version is about 4%. The performance release of ROG Zephyrus M16 (2022) this year is actually a lot more radical. Compared with last year's 100W GeForce RTX 3070, it has increased by 17% , and it is faster than the 105W GeForce RTX 3080 and 90W GeForce RTX 3080 Ti by about 9%. With such a performance output under the volume, Bonnie himself was quite unexpected. In the stress test, Bonnie directly ran 3DMark Time Spy 20 rounds of stress tests, and the stability reached 97.1%. The GPU temperature fell at about 80 degrees, and the CPU was controlled at 72 degrees. The performance of the left and right is quite good. We actually measured the temperature of the fuselage. The highest temperature fell on the air outlet on the left and came to 46 degrees, while the left and right sides of the pressing area of the keyboard fell about 34 degrees. The temperature of the air outlet screen that everyone cares about is the highest drop . At about 43.6 at this time, when the fan is running at a high speed, it will reach about 58db. The overall volume is really loud. Bonnie will recommend it for normal use. You can choose the performance mode , but the stability will drop slightly to 95.3%. The whole GPU temperature is about 86 degrees. The left and right CPUs are about 70 degrees, and the overall temperature will be higher. The highest temperature will reach 47.6 degrees, but it is not too bad, but the fan noise has dropped to 52db . The point here is to remember ROG Zephyrus M16 (2022 ) With the more powerful 12th generation Intel Core i9-12900H, the performance has been improved by an astonishing 1.5 times, and the graphics card has also been released to 120W? Yes , the pressure of the entire cooling module is actually much higher than the previous generation, so ASUS is also Armoury Crate's performance and speed modes give completely different tunings see In terms of performance difference, in terms of 3DMark Time Spy, there is about a 12% difference in performance release between the two. The difference in CPU multi- core is 9%. Bonnie will recommend that you can measure both performance output and heat dissipation noise . If both are If you play games with headphones, it’s actually not too bad. You can turn on the extreme speed. For daily use, it is recommended to turn on the performance mode. It is effective and can be used, and it is very quiet . In fact , the performance of ROG Zephyrus M16 (2022) under MSHybrid is already very good. It has a performance of more than 400 frames. After MUX is turned on, it reaches about 480 frames. Then Tomb Raider: Shadow Bonnie recommends going directly to 2K very high. The picture quality is ok, the average can reach 93 frames, if you turn on DLSS , you can further reach 138 frames, there is no problem at all. Next is God of War, which can reach an average of 64 frames and run smoothly. When you turn on DLSS , you can reach 89 frames, and the pressure is not great. Forza 4 is the same as 2K ultra-high . The picture quality can reach 139 frames , and the high picture quality can be close to running to 162 frames . Then , let’s see the game test with light chase. First , GhostWire: Tokyo , which debuted a while ago, averaged 93 frames under 2K high picture quality. When DLSS is turned on, it can reach 149 frames , but if you want to turn on light tracking, the pressure is relatively large. Under the 2K highlight chase, the average is 35.6 frames . At this time, it is recommended to turn on DLSS to stabilize the number of frames, which can reach 71.9 frames. Finally, the performance test The software Cyberpunk 2077 can run 2K high image quality with an average of 55.9 frames without ray tracing. When DLSS is turned on , it can reach an average of 100 frames . When ray tracing is turned on, the pressure is much higher. Under FHD extreme light chasing, the average is 34 frames . When DLSS is turned on, it can reach an average of 76 frames. If you want a more balanced choice for 2K, it will be 22.8 frames before DLSS is turned on in 2K light tracking. After turning on DLSS, you can touch the edge of running and reach 54.7 frames . Overall, the overall performance of ROG Zephyrus M16 (2022) The release is actually very good . If you don't turn on the light chase, there is no big problem under the mainstream masterpiece 2K. If you use light chase, it is recommended to turn on DLSS in FHD to stabilize the frame rate. Most of them can achieve smooth running. The endurance part of the ROG Zephyrus M16 also uses a 90Wh battery. In Bonnie's battery life test, playing a full HD video continuously for an hour consumed 23% , while the PCMark 10 Modern Office battery life test, which also fixed the screen brightness at 200 nits , ended up with about eight hours of continuous playback. If you use it in foreign books every day, you can turn on the hybrid mode (MS Hybrid) mode in ARMOURY CRATE, and then you can adjust the GPU to the energy-saving mode to further save power . In terms of charging speed, Bonny uses the original 240W charger that comes with the factory. It can be charged to 80% in one hour , and it takes 1 hour and 50 minutes to fully charge. Zephyrus M16 also supports 100W PD charging this time. If you need to go out, you can choose a lighter PD charger. Finally , Bonnie also provides all the running points. The test is for your reference. On the external speakers, the maximum volume is about 87dB. The following Bonnie also provides a real measurement for your reference. Overall , Bonnie thinks that this year's M16 has a big change in thinking compared to last year . It is a balanced and thin performance notebook . Although this year's M16 is equally balanced, it has the wild nature of a performance notebook. The overall performance release is actually very sufficient. Friends of professional needs The 12th generation Intel Core processor is the game part. The only thing to note is that Bonnie recommends that you switch between the school energy and extreme speed modes according to your usage habits and scenes. In fact, most games are completely smooth enough to run in the performance mode. The overall fan volume is actually within the normal range. However , in the extreme speed mode, the performance is fully released, and the cooling module will have more pressure, and the overall fan volume will be much more obvious . You can switch it at your discretion. Well , the above is the complete actual measurement of the M16 that everyone is looking forward to. This episode is here first. If there is any part that Bonnie didn't mention or you want to know, please leave a message below and discuss it together.
