Aero gigabyte 15 geekbench 42/17/2024 ![]() ![]() Our configuration of the Aero 15 uses a laptop version of the GeForce RTX 3070 with a TDP of 105 watts. Compared with other laptops that are equipped with the same CPU or with the Core i7-10875H, our review sample lags behind its rivals by a maximum of 7% in the Cinebench benchmarks depending on the case.īased on our Cinebench R15 test, performance is limited by approximately 30% on battery power. ![]() However, the benchmarks also suggest that AMD's Ryzen 5000 CPUs are currently ahead in terms of raw performance and especially in multi-thread scenarios. You don't have to worry about the processor's performance in either case, since it's at a very high level. Although little changes for end users (the performance differences are usually within 5-8%), the differences in the production of the processors are quite substantial. The reason for using the weaker CPU, which only loses 100 MHz of base clock speed, is the significantly better efficiency in production. If you look closely, you'll notice that the predecessor was actually equipped with the faster Core i7-10875H. If you need a laptop that can accurately represent colors and detailed images – and for gaming, you care more about visual vibrancy than high refresh-rates – then the Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED is a powerful and portable designer's tool that comes at a fair price.The processor used here is the Core i7-10870H, an octa-core CPU from Intel's Comet Lake generation. There aren't really any dedicated "design" laptops that are comparable to the Aero 15 OLED (although that's soon to change, thanks to new product lines like Acer's ConceptD), however you can get gaming laptops with similar specs for up to $400 (£400, AU$700) less – you’ll have to sacrifice a little on portability and battery life, or settle for an 8th generation CPU in the process, though. The Aero series is just 0.79in (2cm) thick and weighs just 4.4lbs (2kg), so it fits neatly within the ultra-portable creative workstation or gaming laptop category. The Aero 15 OLED has extensive connectivity options, including full-sized HDMI 2.0, three USB 3.1 Type-As, Thunderbolt 3 (Type-C), DisplayPort 1.4 (Type-C), Ethernet, UHS-II SD Card reader and a 3.5mm audio jack. In other words, there's enough here that you can moving between workstations and connect to external displays, peripherals and wired internet without needing a separate dock. (Image credit: Future) Features and verdict If you increase the resolution to 4K, you'll see these frame rates drop to a "just playable" 23fps and 33fps respectively, so while gaming at the screen's native resolution on new titles isn't out of the question, you will need to dial down the quality.įortunately, that OLED display still looks excellent at 1080p resolution, so Aero 15 OLED models with the GTX 1660Ti will still benefits from the panel's great colors – however if you're aiming for 4K gaming, you'll definitely want to opt for an RTX 2070 or RTX 2080 configuration. The Aero 15 OLED XA includes with an RTX 2070 GPU, and in games managed averages of 66fps in Total War: Warhammer 2 and 78fps in Middle Earth: Shadow of War, respectively, using 1080p at ultra quality settings. If the thermal management really is that much better, there should be a decent bump in the Core i9 CPU performance. We didn’t get a chance to test the 9th generation Core i9 model this time around, but Gigabyte has said that the cooling system has been re-engineered with new fans, heat pipes and vents that combine for 30% better cooling. Those last Aero 15 units we tested had some thermal issues on the highest specced models, which meant there wasn’t much of a performance bump between the Core i7 and Core i9 CPUs.
