We owe you the second part of the tests for Zephyrus Duo. In addition to encryption, encoding, tests of memory and SSDs, this article provides detailed performance evaluation under Nvidia OptiX interface, display measurements, and most importantly, an in-depth analysis of operational characteristics. Heating, power and clock management are captured for the first time in detailed flowcharts across all modes (Turbo, Performance and Silent).
Encrypting, encoding
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.
