Acer Swift 5 Sneak Peek Önizlemesi: Tiger Lake iGPU Giriş Seviyesi GeForce'a saldırıyor

Does the Iris Graphics Xe wipe the floor with MX350 and Vega 7?

Yalnızca 15 mm ince kasadaki sınırlı soğutma kapasitesine rağmen, Intel'in en yeni Tiger Lake işlemcisine sahip Acer Swift 5, Intel'in 10. nesil işlemcisiyle karşılaştırıldığında ileriye doğru dev bir adım gibi görünüyor. Daha da önemlisi, GPU performansı bambaşka bir ligde görünüyor. Özel giriş seviyesi GPU'lara sahip dizüstü bilgisayarların not alması gerekecek.

Acer bize Swift 5'in üretim öncesi bir örneğini gönderdi, bu bazı açılardan henüz nihai ürünü tam olarak yansıtmayabilir. Buna göre, aşağıdakiler tam bir inceleme değil, nihai bir derecelendirme olmadan sınırlı bir önizlemedir. Bir üretim modelini alır almaz, onun hızına bakacağız ve size tam bir inceleme sunacağız. Core i7-1185G7'yi test ettikten sonra (kıyaslama testine bakın) Swift 5 bize aşağıya bir bakış sunuyor -dier Tiger Lake Core i7 SKU. Üst düzey model (1185G7), AMD'nin Ryzen hexa çekirdeklerinden bile daha iyi performans göstermeyi başardı ve GeForce MX330 ve MX350 gibi giriş seviyesi GeForce GPU'ları gereksiz hale getirecek entegre bir GPU sundu. Peki ya Acer'ın Swift 5'indeki i7-1165G7, benzer bir başarıya sahip olacak mı? Bu sefer, inceleme örneğimiz Intel tarafından hazırlanan ilk geliştirici örnek dizüstü bilgisayarı değil, Acer tarafından yapılan neredeyse kesinleşmiş bir üretim modelidir. Sonuçların nihai üründen yine de farklı olabileceğini unutmayın. Ancak deneyimlerimiz, üretim öncesi numunelerin ve nihai ürünlerin aynı olmasa da çok benzer performans gösterdiğini göstermektedir.

Durum

Ön üretim modeli ile Swift 5 nesli (14-54T) önizlemeleri arasında herhangi bir fark tespit edemedik. Panel, sağlam ancak çok ince bir çerçeve içine yerleştirilmiştir. Arkaya baskı uygulamak herhangi bir bozulmaya neden olmaz. Web kamerası ekranın üst kısmında bulunur ve fiziksel bir deklanşörden yoksundur. Menteşe sağlamdır ve kapağı açarken bir elin taban ünitesini tutmasını gerektirir. Buna karşılık, ekran kapağı açıkken etrafta dolaşırken herhangi bir tedirginlik fark edemedik. Plastik malzemesi kolayca tanınabilir olmasına rağmen, ana birimin kendisi inanılmaz derecede sağlamdır.

Yeni CPU bazı ekstra soğutma kanatçıkları ve bu nedenle birkaç gram daha fazla bakır gerektirebileceğinden, ağırlığı selefine göre biraz arttı ve 943 g (2.08 lbs) yerine 1.029 g (2.27 lbs) elde edildi. Rakipleriyle karşılaştırıldığında ağırlığı hala oldukça düşük, ZenBook 14 1,2 kg (2,62 lbs) ile tek istisna. Ayaksız kalınlık, tüm rakipler arasında oldukça tekdüzeydi ve LG Gram 14 grubun en kalın olanıydı.

Bağlantı

Bağlantı tamamen değişmeden kaldı. Hiçbir bağlantı noktası eklenmedi ve mevcut olanların yeri değiştirilmedi. Bu nedenle, Thunderbolt destekli bir HDMI bağlantı noktası ve bir USB Type-C bağlantı noktası elde ediyoruz, ancak bu sefer yeni yonga zaten 4 PCIe 4 şeritli Thunderbolt 4 / USB 4'ü destekliyor. Thunderbolt 3 gibi, Thunderbolt 4 de 40 Gbps'ye kadar veri hızını destekler. Aynısı 4x PCIe 3.0 şeridi (32 Gbps'ye kadar) ve harici GPU'lar için de geçerlidir. Bunlar da Thunderbolt 3 tarafından zaten destekleniyordu. Büyük haber, USB 4 ile uyumluluktur. Desteklenen en hızlı olan, 20 Gbps'de USB 3.2 Gen 2.2 olarak kaldığından, bu daha yüksek USB hızlarına dönüşmek zorunda değildir. Buna karşılık, USB-C aracılığıyla 77,37 Gbps'ye kadar DisplayPort 2.0 yenidir ve sıkıştırılmamış 8K videoyu (7680 x 4320) destekleyebilir.

Verim

Swift 5, birçok subnotebook ve ultra ince cihaz arasında büyük olasılıkla yeni standart haline gelecek bir dizi bileşene sahiptir. İ7-1165G7, dört çekirdek sunar ve 12 ila 28 W arasında bir TDP olarak derecelendirilir. Ayrıca, bir FHD ekran, bir Wi-Fi 6 kartı (Intel AX201), SK Hynix tarafından üretilen 512 GB NVMe SSD ile birlikte gelir ve çok iyi bir 16 GB çift kanallı RAM.

İşlemci

Önizleme birimimiz, Core i7-1165G7'nin 28 W TDP'sini tam olarak kullanacak şekilde yapılandırıldı. Buna göre, termal güvenli bir çalışma için izin verdiği sürece dört çekirdekte de 4,1 GHz hızında çalışabiliyordu. Ne yazık ki, ilk yinelemeden sonra durum böyleydi ve tekrarlanan beş çalışmadan sonra tüm çekirdekler 4 GHz'den fazla yerine 3'ün altında çalıştı. Bu da işlemcinin 2,8 GHz'lik temel saat hızına çok yakın ve ilk çalıştırmaya kıyasla% 31'lik bir performans kaybını temsil ediyor. Intel'in 1185G7'li referans tasarımı çok farklı ve çok daha iyi performans gösterdi. İlk yinelemeden sonra puanları daha da arttı ve sonraki yüksek performans düzeyini korumayı başardı. R15 Kısa günlük dosyasına baktığımızda, CPU Paket Gücünün ilk 5 saniyede 40 W'ın biraz üzerine çıktığını, bir başkası için sabit kaldığını görüyoruz. 15 saniye ve sonra yavaş yavaş azalır. Dinamik ayar bu çipte devre dışı görünüyor, aksi takdirde kısa süreler için 64 W'a kadar tüketebilirdi. Sonuçlar Prime95'i çalıştırırken aynıydı. Saat hızları üç dakika sonra 2,4-2,5 GHz'e sabitlendi ve sıcaklıklar 65 ° C civarında kaldı. Daha önce olduğu gibi, CPU Paket Gücünün başlangıçta 45 W'tan sona doğru 17 W'a düştüğünü görebiliyorduk. Yalnızca ilk çalıştırmayı hesaba katan Cinebench R20 kıyaslamamızda 1165G7, 1185G7 kardeşinin gerisinde kaldı. % 5. Diğer kıyaslamalar çok farklı sonuçlar üretti. Cinebench R15 ve Blender'da üst model sırasıyla% 39 ve% 17 daha hızlıydı. Bu sonuçlar her şeyden önce bir şeyi gösteriyor: gelecekteki bir dizüstü bilgisayarın performansı, işlemci terminolojisinin çok daha az etkisi ile öncelikle soğutma sistemine bağlı olacaktır.

GPU Performance

The Iris Xe G7 GPU (Gen 12) is supposed to perform much better than Intel’s previous generation Iris Plus G7 that Ice Lake CPUs were equipped with. The 1165G7’s Iris Xe features 96 EUs running at 400-1300 MHz. This particular iGPU managed to outperform AMD’s Radeon Vega 7 by a whopping 36 % in Cloud Gate and an even more impressive 84 % in Fire Strike. Compared to last generation’s Iris Plus G7 it was between 200-300 % faster (Time Spy and Fire Strike Graphics), and it even gave Nvidia’s MX350 a run for its money and ran 27 and 33 % faster in Cloud Gate and Fire Strike, respectively. Not bad for an iGPU, not bad indeed.

It looks as if previous entry-level solutions a la MX 330 or MX350 might have a hard time in the future. Accordingly, we expect Nvidia to introduce its new GeForce MX450 entry-level GPU very soon in order to keep up with Intel’s iGPU in the entry-level segment.

Gaming Performance

In order to fully replace dedicated entry-level GPUs the Iris Xe has to be capable of running real games smoothly as well, and based on our findings with Witcher 3 we are more than hopeful. For the first time ever Witcher 3 ran smoothly in high settings and FHD resolution on an iGPU (30 FPS). Neither AMD’s Radeon Vega 7 (17 FPS) nor Intel’s Whiskey Lake UHD Graphics (7 FPS) were capable of this task.

Looking at Nvidia’s dedicated entry-level GPUs we see 28 FPS for the MX350 (MSI Prestige 14) and a meager 20 FPS for the MX330. Have dedicated entry-level GPUs finally been rendered superfluous? At first glance it seems they might have, and we can’t wait to run additional tests and gaming benchmarks with final production samples.

Battery Life

We ran our Wi-Fi battery test at reduced brightness (150 nits) with the keyboard backlight disabled on this pre-production lightweight subnotebook. It managed to run for almost 11 hours, which is impressive considering its battery capacity of just 56 Wh. Nevertheless, the AMD Ryzen-based Acer Swift 3 ran for almost 12 hours and remains untouchable for now. Thanks to fast charging the battery can be charged to 70 % within 50 minutes, which is impressive.

Verdict

Acers Swift 5 with Intel Tiger Lake: Review model provided by Acer Germany
Acers Swift 5 with Intel Tiger Lake: Review model provided by Acer Germany

Just like its predecessor, the Acer Swift 5 SF514-54T-501U, the new Swift 5 continues the Swift legacy of “as slim as possible, as lightweight as feasible, and as powerful as reasonable”.

In this particular case, reasonable translates to a CPU that performed almost as fast as a Ryzen 7 4700U, one of the fastest ultra-low-voltages chips available for slim and lightweight subnotebooks at the time of writing, in short-term burst load scenarios.

However, sustained load paints a different picture, and the CPU is incapable of maintaining its high turbo boost over long periods of time and loses around 30 % of its peak performance. Even then it is still faster than a 10th generation Core i7, and as such the Tiger Lake i7-1165G7 can be considered a well-made high-performance CPU for ultra-lightweight notebooks. It is, however, not suitable as a workstation SoC.

The integrated GPU raised the bar significantly. The Intel Iris Xe G7 is set to take on the games and benchmarks of a Radeon Vega 7 and Geforce MX330/MX350 graphics solution. For the first time ever, the admittedly old yet very demanding game Witcher 3 ran smoothly in high settings and FHD resolution on an integrated GPU. Who would have thought that would be possible on an Intel GPU a mere two years ago?

The Intel Iris Xe G7 can keep up in first games and benchmarks with a Radeon Vega 7 as well as MX330/MX350 graphics solutions.

Keep in mind that our benchmarks and tests were performed on an Acer Swift 5 pre-production sample that the manufacturer had approved for benchmarks. We do not expect any significant changes, neither for the worse nor for the better, from the final retail product. Its high performance combined with 11 hours of battery life, a bright touch display, a brand-new Thunderbolt 4 port, and its decent input devices make this a very powerful subnotebook for many years to come. If prices remain similar to previous generations, we expect around $1,000 for a device configured similarly to our preview unit – a bargain. Once we have received the final Swift 5 production model, we are going to run it through its paces and provide you with a full and extensive review thereof.
