In encryption, the Zephyrus with the new Ci9 is 45% faster than the HP Omen X 2S and 31% faster than the G14 with Renoir. The differences in decryption are a bit lower at 33 and 21%, but it’s still a big lead for the new Zephyrus.


Working with videos shows a big 23% difference in favor of the new Ci9 in Zephyrus compared to HP. However, a sibling with AMD passed this test well with only a 6% loss. In H.265, the differences have deepened further and there is a 25% difference between the i9 and AMD is 10% behind.
