As a digital product that can not only realize the full-featured application of the PC, but also bring the entertainment experience of the tablet, the two-in-one notebook combines the advantages of traditional notebooks and portable tablets, and its thin and light portable and multi-scene morphological changes features, so that users can get the experience of "fish and bear paws can be both". However, a slightly weak performance performance may be a common problem for most two-in-one notebooks on the market today, and this deficiency seems to be the main reason for its rapid development at present. To this end, both supply chains and end manufacturers are working to promote the solution of this problem.
This year, the upgrade of Intel's 12th generation Core mobile platform, with more core and thread counts, higher turbo frequency, faster carrying speed and stronger performance, makes the 2-in-1 notebook expected to get a more comprehensive performance.
Therefore, ROG, which has always been accomplished in product design innovation, is convenient for the previous launch of its new products - ROG Fantasy X series two-in-one notebook, once listed, it has received praise such as "the strongest two-in-one notebook", "all-round small cannon" and so on, obviously, its performance in performance has been widely recognized. And the author is also the first time to get started with ROG Fantasy X in recent days, can its performance be in line with what is said on the Internet? Next, we will bring you the most comprehensive performance comprehensive test.
CPU testing
As one of the biggest highlights of the ROG Magic X in terms of performance configuration, this Intel 12th generation Core i9-12900H processor is naturally the top priority of our test. First of all, through the CPU-Z to understand the basic information of this processor: it uses a 10nm process process, the TDP is 45W, and the basic configuration is a combination of 6 performance cores + 8 energy-efficient cores and 20 threads. Overall, more cores and threads are the focus of this upgrade, which will bring a lot of advantages in multitasking.
Again, CPU-Z, we simply looked at the single-threaded and multi-threaded scores of this processor through its test score feature. As you can see, its single-threaded scored 787 points, multi-threaded 7919 points, this performance even exceeded the score of the 11th generation desktop processor i9-11900K, which shows that this time Intel has indeed brought a rapid improvement to this processor.
Of course, the test score on CPU-Z is only basic reference data, which may not be intuitive for understanding the theoretical performance of the CPU. Therefore, we will once again use another more convincing CPU test system - CINEBENCH, which is also a test project that can reflect its professional productivity performance, and we will test it in its R15, R20, and R23 versions. In the R15, the i9-12900H processor scored 2695 points.
In R20, it scored 736 points for single thread and 6330 points for multi-thread. As can also be seen from the given reference rankings, the advantage of its higher core number is obviously the key to helping the i9-12900H achieve a higher performance score.
In R23, the i9-12900H received a score of 1919 for single-threaded and 13452 for multi-thread. On the whole, in the CINEBENCH test, whether it is single-threaded or multi-threaded, the theoretical performance of the i9-12900H is the top level of the current mobile processor.
In order to maximize the performance stability of the i9-12900H, it was also tested by the CPU module in AID64. In the five test items of CPU Queen, CPU PhotoWorxx, CPU ZLib, CPU AES, and CPU SHA3, the score data are 10824 minutes, 46655 megapixels per second, 1077.8MB/ s, 141246MB / s, 3851MB / s, in summary, the overall performance stability of this processor is worth recognizing, even if it works under high load for a long time.
Finally, we will use a double-baked test of FurMark donuts + AID64 FPU to simulate the maximum working pressure of the CPU. After testing, the results show that the CPU core temperature is stable at 59 °C, the GPU core temperature is about 61 °C, and the core frequency remains stable, and there is no frequency reduction. In this way, it is not difficult for us to see the excellent physique of this processor. Moreover, the enhanced version of the glacier heat dissipation architecture 2.0 equipped with the ROG Phantom X is obviously performing well, and the temperature control is STILL OK.
GPU testing
The ROG Magic X is equipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti in the GPU part, considering that this is a graphics card that supports real-time ray tracing, we will also increase the special test of its light tracking performance, and it is worth noting that it supports the ROG XG graphics card docking station, which can be non-destructively connected to the GeForce RTX 3080 notebook GPU. In this test, we will use the industry's authoritative 3DMark software for scoring the former. As you can see, under the TimeSpy test, the ROG Magic X scored 4766 points, the Time Spy Extreme scored 2133 points, of which the graphics card score was 4272 and 1940, respectively.
Seeing fire strike again, its comprehensive score is 10073, Fire Strike Extreme score is 5212 points, Fire Strike Ultra score is 2682 points, from the final result, the performance of this RTX 3050 Ti on the ROG magic X is still relatively outstanding.
In addition, in port royal, a test project for real-time ray tracing performance, it scored 1084 points, and in order to better demonstrate the light tracking performance of the RTX 3050 Ti, we also tested it separately for V-RAY rendering, with a total test score of 16374, of which the V-RAY GPU score was 212. Judging from this result, if you want to play most of the AAA games on the ROG Magic X, or professional software that has the performance requirements for the graphics card, it can run smoothly and naturally rank first-class in the two-in-one notebook products. And don't forget, the ROG XG graphics card docking station supported by the ROG Phantom X will also unleash its greater performance potential.
Memory testing
In terms of memory, ROG Magic X uses on-board 16GB 5200MHz LPDDR5 dual-channel memory, and higher memory specifications and higher frequencies are bound to make its actual performance improved. In the AID64's memory test module, its memory read speed is 70403MB/s, the write speed is 63204MB/s, the replication speed is 72375MB/s, and the latency is 144.5ns; except for the slightly higher latency, the other data is quite impressive, which brings a good speed experience when exchanging data in a high load state.
Hard disk testing
In the Test of CrystalDiskMark, the ROG Magic X multi-queue and multi-threaded sequential continuous read speed was 3354.67MB/s and the write speed was 3225.38MB/s; the continuous read speed of single-queue and single-threaded sequential was 2239.93MB/s and the write speed was 3230.13MB/s; the multi-queue and multi-threaded 4K random read speed was 760.22MB/s, and the write speed was 581.24MB/s. Single-queue and single-threaded 4K random read speeds are 72.78MB/s and write speeds are 361.27MB/s. On the whole, its various read and write speeds have a good performance, and there is no problem with the efficient use experience of daily operations.
In addition, we also tested this SSD of ROG Magic X through the storage benchmark test specifically for SSD game performance in 3DMark, which can more realistically reflect the performance stored in the actual game. As you can see from the chart below, its final score is 1998, which exceeds the average it gives, which proves that its hard drive performance can meet the needs of the vast majority of players even when running the game.
Endurance test
Under the premise that the performance is not weak, can ROG Magic X meet the needs of many users who are also concerned about the endurance problem? We also used the PCMARK 10 endurance test software to explore its endurance performance. Considering that long battery life is usually used in light office scenes when going out, we tested it after using the dual display and three-mode switching technology provided by ROG Magic X this time, we set its graphics card output mode to a centralized display output, and turned on WiFi and silent mode, brightness and volume set to 40%. The final result shows that its battery life can reach 7 hours and 21 minutes, which is basically enough to meet the needs of a day outside.
Comprehensive performance
In addition to the test data of each of the above individual configurations, we can also take a look at what level the comprehensive performance of ROG Magic X is, here the modern office mode of PCMARK 10 is used for testing, and the final results show that the score of commonly used basic functions is 10510, the productivity score is 9621, the score of digital content creation is 9657, and the performance of all aspects is more balanced, whether it is in application startup, Different types of work status, such as document tables or photo and video editing, have good ratings, which is also quite in line with the product positioning of its high-performance 2-in-1 notebook.
Game actual test
Leaving aside all kinds of running score data, what will the performance of ROG Magic X in practical applications? Here we have selected three mainstream AAA games of Cyberpunk 2077, Tomb Raider: Shadow, and Forza Horizon 5, and tested the Magic X in the actual game with the enhancement mode enabled.
The first is Cyberpunk 2077, where we first adjust most of the parameters of its basic quality settings to premium, and monitor the frame rate performance in two cases, with DLSS frame rates turned on and off. As can be seen from the figure below, when the DLSS frame rate is turned off, its average frame rate is 41.71; after it is turned on, its average frame rate climbs to 61.15, and it is not difficult to see that its improvement is still relatively large. It can also be concluded that no matter in which mode, the graphics card performance of ROG Magic X is enough to support the smooth picture of this AAA masterpiece.
Then there is Tomb Raider: Shadow, similarly, the DLSS option is set to "Performance", and the preset image quality is adjusted to a medium level in the picture quality settings, and the final frame rate monitoring results show that its average frame rate reaches 78fps, and the performance is also more in line with the graphics benchmark performance test, which can have a smoother picture quality performance.
Finally, there is the recently popular racing AAA game "Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5". With high quality enabled, the average frame rate of ROG Magic X can reach 76 frames. Through the actual test of the above three games, on the basis of this set of configurations of ROG Phantom X, there is no need to worry about the lack of performance of its two-in-one notebook positioning, and its excellent configuration is enough for players to play most of the current large-scale games.
summary
ROG, which has always liked to play tricks on the appearance of the product, has brought us surprises this time, but unlike most of the two-in-one notebook products on the market, under the blessing of ROG hard-core positioning, such a two-in-one notebook with both performance, portability and multiple use forms - ROG Phantom X was born.
And through the above series of complete tests down, I believe you also have a comprehensive and clear understanding of the performance of the ROG phantom X product, its table reality solidly breaks the current stereotype of the two-in-one notebook product "chicken ribs" on the market, and more importantly, it can allow its users to no longer be subject to performance or volume, in a variety of use scenarios can play creative production or enjoy the entertainment experience, for its target group, ROG phantom X is indeed a superior choice at present.
