3D/PC Mark and Unigine Heaven/Superposition
Last year, Asus introduced new ZenBooks, which are gradually improving, and in addition to new gen CPUs, we have also seen a change in display technology, which we have written about in a separate article. We got the cheapest model with an OLED display for the test. In addition to the 13-inch body, it also has a revamped Ryzen 5500U. We have only recently tested a configuration with Intel, so an interesting comparison is awaiting us.

The combined PCMark test continues the trend we saw in rendering. The new ZenBook 13 with 5500U is 5% faster than the 11th generation Intel version, and Swift with Ryzen is only 1% slower.
The game changes in 3DMark Firestrike, Time Spy and Sky Diver, where Intel’s version of ZenBook 13 with Xe graphics beats the new 5500U by 50/44/13%, which are quite large differences.
New tests have been added to 3DMark, one of which is Wild Life, where I only have little data to this date. However, we see that the Intel version is almost twice as powerful as the new 5500U, and laptops and PCs with dedicated graphics are several times faster.
The Unigine Heaven game test shows Intel winning by 67%. The novelty with OLED was just behind the Swift 3, so we don’t see any increase in graphics performance between generations.
