日本Dell Precision 16 7670 review – is CAMM memory here to stay?
Performance: CPU, GPU, Gaming Tests
CPU options
This notebook can be found with the Core i5-12600HX, Core i7-12850HX, or Core i9-12950HX. They all have a 55W base TDP, but differ in core count, Cache size, and clock speeds.
Results are from the Cinebench R23 CPU test (the higher the score, the better)
Results are from our Photoshop benchmark test (the lower the score, the better)
Dell Precision 16 7670 CPU variants
Here you can see an approximate comparison between the CPUs that can be found in the Dell Precision 16 7670 models on the market. This way you can decide for yourself which Dell Precision 16 7670 model is the best bang for your buck.
Note: The chart shows the cheapest different CPU configurations so you should check what the other specifications of these laptops are by clicking on the laptop’s name / CPU.

Try running the 7670 with an RTX A3000… even with the thicker chassis, the cooling system is absolutely demolished by any kind of load that hits the CPU and GPU at the same time. Games are bad enough, but professional 3D workloads are appalling. The CPU wattage and CPU frequency is throttled down so low, the laptop is slower than it’s predecessors (Precision 7550 or 7560). With only 2 heatpipes shared between the CPU and GPU, and the fans at the end of the thermal line, any load on the GPU overwhelms the CPU.
Indeed. There are several gurus (e.g. Tech3D channel on YouTube) discussing the poor job Dell is doing with thermal management on these machines, not to mention using the same old 240 watt adapter which causes these system to be power starved. Inexcusable.
Piggybacking a powerful CPU and GPU this way being questionable in the first place, heat efficiency appears to suffer further by the second heat pipe falling short of covering the entire width of the second fan, seeming to cover only about half the width – alas, the hinge is in the way. The heat sink’s width is also halved in this section to accomodate the hinge. It’s a good example of high quality material put to bad use.
