From the market level, the strong power of the 12th generation of Core and the price of the graphics card can not be reduced, making buying the game book one of the best "saving" solutions. "Thanks to AMD for letting us use stronger Intel" is a hindrance, but the performance of mobile terminals has really improved dramatically this year. Now let's take the Shadow Knight Qing of Acer 2022 as the introduction to see the performance of the 12th generation Core Mobile Edition.
The core upgrade of the Shadow Knight Engine 2022 is the 12th generation of Core, with stronger cooling performance. The first launch of i7-12700H+RTX 3060 is 8499 yuan, the first launch of i5-12500H+RTX 3060 is 7499 yuan, and the first launch of i5-12500H+RTX 3050 is 6299 yuan.

appearance
The adapter and wire are both game books, very sturdy, 230W.
Both side A and side C are in mold transfer printing (IMR) processes. Side A is relatively simple, with only red and blue lines for decoration. The axis has the English brand name NITRO (nitroglycerin, TNT is trinitrotoluene. The knowledge that is not needed has increased). You can see the obvious game book design only when you turn to the back, which is quite introverted and low-key.
The side frame of the screen is very narrow. The 15.6-inch version is 7mm, and the 17.3-inch version is 7.7mm. The upper frame is OK, but the lower frame makes the brand logo like a lonely boat in the ocean.
The four zone RGB backlit keyboard has different color marks on the key caps of WASD, full height direction keys, and performance mode buttons. The key range is hi long, and typing is very comfortable.
Shadow Knight Qing 2022 is easy to disassemble, just unscrew the bottom screw. More attention should be paid to the fragile screen spindle cover plate and the lesson of blood than the card buckle.
The double violence fan is equipped with five heat pipes, and the specification has improved significantly. The battery is only 57.5Wh, a little small.
The memory slot is equipped with a shielding cover (on the left side of the figure above), the bottom cover plate has a buffer bubble in the battery area and the corresponding area of the SATA hard disk bit, and the corresponding area of the two M.2 solids also has a heat dissipation vest.
However, SATA hard disk bit has no bracket and cable, so you need to purchase it yourself. Although it belittles everyone's obsession with SATA storage disks, it is understandable that fewer components do reduce weight and cost.
performance
Shadow Knight Qing 2022 is only available in i5/i7, with 140W 3060 (6G) and 95W 3050 (4G). There are 150W 3070 (8G) and 95W 3050Ti (4G) versions in the official data. The pricing and launch time are still unknown.
The processor on our hand is Intel i7-12700H, with 14 cores and 20 threads. The maximum Rui frequency is 4.7GHz. It is equipped with 69EU 1.4GHz Rui Ju Xe core display, and the maximum Rui frequency power consumption is 115W.
If it is just a "stinking game" like us, this core display is useless. But if it is used to cut videos, its various hardware accelerations are still very useful, as is the case on the desktop. Users of "video productivity" should pay attention to it.
CPU-Z ↑
R15-R20-R23 test ↑
CPU-Z of Shadow Knight · Qing 2022 single thread 757.7, multi thread 7354 minutes
Third generation CINEBENCH test:
R15 is single core 264, multi core 2252
R20 is single core 696, multi core 5532
R23 is single core 1212, multi core 13145
The single core performance of Intel's 12th generation Core is really strong, The mobile version of the single core can do over the desktop version of AMD Taking R20 as an example, although there is a gap between the 12th generation Core mobile version and its own desktop version (the i7-12700K is 731 points), even the R9-5950X single core is "only" about 629 points, the 5800X is only 625 points, and the i7-12700H with 696 points is completely out of line;
On the multi-core side, the threads added by the energy efficiency core make the R20 multi-core of the i7-12700H flush to 5500 points. Although R7-5800X can not reach 6068 points on the desktop end, it is close to the desktop end i9-11900K (5576), stronger than R7-5700G (5371) and i7-11700K (5361). R9-5900HS (5058), R5-5600X (4567) and R7-5800H (4674) are dried.
Well, the mobile end can play the desktop end, what else can we say, Intel Yes！ 12 generation Core Yes!!!
The graphics card is a 140W full blood RTX 3060, 6GB DDR6. Everyone is familiar with the old friends. Shadow Knight Qing 2022 performs normally, with 8949 points for 3DMark Time Spy and 20536 points for Fire Strike. I won't repeat it here.
Another PCMark 10, a productivity test score of 6467, a basic function score of 10182, a productivity score of 7150, and a digital creation score of 10081;
Extended mode, total score 8456, basic function score 10283, productivity score 7637, digital creation score 10374, and game score 16964.
On the memory side, Shadow Knight Qing 2022 is the only major brand manufacturer that fails to access DDR5. The dual channel 3200MHz DDR4 memory performs normally and can meet most daily needs. This is the trade-off between pricing and cost, and the actual impact will not be great. As long as the final feedback on pricing is available, I have no personal opinion.
This SSD of Micron 3400 performs well. However, the top of Shadow Knight Qing 2022 still provides two M.2 slots+one SATA hard disk bit. The warehouse disk is ecstatic.
Toaster
The room temperature is 23 degrees, and the BIOS version is V1.00.
Use the StressFPU of AIDA64 to bake the CPU for 30 minutes. The CPU peak value of Shadow Knight Engine 2022 is 109W, and finally stabilized at about 95W, about 88 degrees. The P core frequency is 2.1GHz, and the E core frequency is about 3.2GHz.
Single baking Furmark doughnut, the peak value of the full blood RTX 3060 of Shadow Knight Qing 2022 can reach 149W. After 30 minutes, the GPU stabilized at 127W, the frequency was set at 1897MHz, and the temperature was about 75 degrees.
StressFPU+Furmark Double Bake, our Shadow Knight Qing 2022, CPU tuning is obviously "E core protection, P core reduction". The maximum temperature of the CPU part is 100 degrees, with a peak value of 109W. After 30 minutes, it finally stabilized at about 75 degrees, with a power consumption of 45W, P core 0.7GHz, and E core 2.9GHz.
On the GPU side, the power consumption is set at about 116W, the hot spot temperature is 76 degrees, and the frequency is 1822MHz. The current version of firmware does have fluctuations in the graphics card. It will fluctuate between 130W and 140W, with little impact. However, I hope it can be repaired as soon as possible.
After 30 minutes of double baking, the thermal image of Shadow Knight Qing 2022 shows the area of two cooling fans. The left and right temperatures are 39.8 degrees and 38.1 degrees respectively, and the temperature of the main key area is below 37 degrees, showing good performance.
The back heat source bypasses the two fan areas, with the highest temperature of 41.2 degrees (the notebook in the figure is placed vertically ↑)
The improvement in heat dissipation of Shadow Knight Qing 2022 was achieved by the violent 6000 rpm high tooth fan. In the strong cold mode, the fire is fully opened, the violent fan takes off, and it can rush to 65 decibels. This is not the volume that the general game instinct goes to. It is the same level as the sweeping robot and the hair dryer. It even has the feeling of "lingering sound" of the mining machine in those years. In addition to wearing earphones, it will obviously disturb the volume of roommates/girlfriends/wives. It is recommended to turn down the gear every day, which is really too fierce.
summary
Faced with ASUS Tianxuan 3, Lenovo Saver Y9000P 2022, HP Shadow Genie 8, Dell G15 2022, the advantages and disadvantages of Acer Shadow Knight Engine 2022 are quite clear:
Good heat dissipation, similar to the performance of Tianxuan 3, the core temperature is significantly lower, as well as the rare dual M.2+SATA bit, giving 4-partition RGB keyboard and dual killer network card;
There is no direct connection, and the high load noise is also fierce. In contrast, DDR4 memory and current GPU power consumption fluctuate slightly, which are minor details.
Duxian Direct Link and DDR4 make way for their own flagship predators, while almost all versions of Shadow Knight Qing are the lowest in the same level in several big factories. Whether the price difference is worth it varies from person to person. As for the cost performance, we are close to King Pig in our opinion. The i5+3060 version is more fragrant than the i7+3060 version we tested, and it is still competitive.
This year, the positioning of Intel and AMD mobile terminals is very wrong. Judging from the leakage performance of AMD Reelong 6000 series mobile terminals, Intel's CPU part has won this year, but AMD's GPU performance has doubled, giving Core Display the opportunity to play 3A, and the product positioning will be very different.
Look at Intel and AMD who are enjoying the battle, and then look at Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. A few years ago, who could have expected that the computer market would be so busy and the mobile phone platform would be crowded with toothpaste for so long
