In addition, users can adjust the output mode according to their own use environment through B&O's tuning software.
Spectre x360 is equipped with the latest Core i5-7200U processor. It should be noted that CPU-Z is incorrectly identified as i5-7500U. 15W power consumption, two cores and four threads, main frequency 2.5GHz, maximum frequency 3.1GHz.
GPU is Graphics 620 integrated display.
In terms of storage, Samsung's 256GB PCI-E SSD was used, and the score was quite eye-catching.
PCMark 8 Home conventional 3.0 scored 2637.
PCMark 8 Creative conventional 3.0 scored 2751.
PCMark 8 Work conventional 3.0 scored 2989.
The score of 3DMark running Fire Strike was 850.
3DMark scored 394 in Fire Strike Extreme.
The score of 3DMark running Fire Strike Ultra was 208.

In terms of battery life, we used Spectre x360 to broadcast the Airo video on Youku to simulate the user's general operation when the screen was continuously lit. The brightness was fixed at 50% and the volume was 20%. We started at 19:41 in the evening and left 5% of the electricity at 22:17. The battery life was 3: 36 minutes in total. The overall performance was satisfactory.
6: Heat dissipation and noise
All tests were conducted at room temperature of 25 ℃ (plus or minus 1 ℃).
The core temperature of the Spectre x360 reaches about 50 ° C in standby mode. Although the thin fuselage squeezes a certain amount of fuselage heat dissipation area, 50 ° C is a bit inappropriate.
When the core is fully loaded, the core temperature reaches about 80 degrees, and the frequency is stabilized at 2900MHz. There is no frequency reduction, which is worth praising.
When Spectre x360 is in standby mode, the temperature of surface C is 40 ° C, and the temperature of surface D is 37.4 ° C. The main heating places are the upper right side of surface C and the upper part of surface D. This is mainly because Spectre x360 sets the cooling fan strictly. When the temperature does not meet the conditions, the fan will almost not run, which can achieve a good balance between noise and heat dissipation
After 10 minutes in the toaster, the maximum temperature of surface C is 46.2 ℃, and the maximum temperature of surface D is 44.3 ℃. It can be seen from the results that although the standby temperature of the Spectre x360 is high, the temperature is not much higher when it is fully loaded than when it is in standby, which well confirms the previous statement.
The noise measured by Spectre x360 in standby mode is 41.2dB.
The noise measured at full load is 53.4dB. At this time, the ear can hear the sound of fan rotation, but it is not noisy.
