Dell Vostro 15 3530 review – this laptop needs better cooling ASAP
Performance: CPU, GPU, Gaming Tests
CPU options
You can choose between four CPU options – Intel Processor U300, Core i3-1305U, Core i5-1335U, or Core i7-1355U. Both Core i5 and Core i7 chips have 10 cores, 12 threads, and 12MB cache size. The Core i7 model boasts higher frequencies and a more potent iGPU.
परिणाम Cinebench R23 CPU टेस्ट से हैं (स्कोर जितना अधिक हो, उतना अच्छा)
GPU options
Speaking of integrated graphics, depending on the processor model, the iGPU variants are the following – the Intel UHD Graphics Xe G4 (48EU), UHD Graphics (Alder Lake, 64EU), Iris Xe Graphics G7 (80EU), and Iris Xe Graphics G7 (96EU). There is an optional dGPU variant for people who want to play some CS:GO after work – the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 with 2GB GDDR6 memory.
परिणाम 3DMark Time Spy (Graphics) से हैं। उच्चतर बेहतर है।
परिणाम 3DMark Fire Strike (Graphics) बेंचमार्क से हैं (स्कोर जितना अधिक हो, उतना अच्छा)
परिणाम 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Unlimited से हैं। उच्चतर बेहतर है।
परिणाम Unigine Superposition बेंचमार्क से हैं (स्कोर जितना अधिक हो, उतना अच्छा)
Gaming tests
| CS:GO | Full HD, Low (Check settings) | Full HD, Medium (Check settings) | Full HD, MAX (Check settings) |

Despite the fact that the tested Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 (96EU) can allocate up to 8GB of system memory, the performance is mediocre even for an integrated solution. The Dell Vostro 16 5630 with its least powerful Iris Xe Graphics G7 (80EU) is able to outscore with ease the Vostro 15 3530 when it comes to gaming, despite the fact that the 5630 version has weak cooling.

Graphics performance is severely degraded by using 1Rx16 type memory modules.
In my tests, Iris Xe gains around 25% more performance on average with 1Rx8 memories.
Im going to buy the version with 32gb of ram, what do you think about that?
It depends on what you want to use for, does it have keyboard light?
