HP ZBook Studio 16 G10 review – finally, capable thin and light mobile workstation
Performance: CPU, GPU, Gaming Tests
CPU options
You can choose between five CPU options – Intel Core i5-13600H, Core i7-13700H, Core i7-13800H, Core i9-13900H, and Core i9-13900HK. We bought a laptop with a Core i7-13700H because it looks like the most balanced choice. It has the same core count and cache size as the HK CPU, but it costs less.
Here, we evaluate the CPU's performance using a real-world 3D rendering task, assessing its ability to handle complex computations and rendering workloads efficiently.
Results are from the Cinebench 2024 Multi-Core test (higher is better)
GPU options
There is also an abundance of GPU variants – NVIDIA RTX A1000 (Laptop), RTX 2000 Ada Generation, RTX 3000 Ada Generation (60W), RTX 4000 Ada Generation, GeForce RTX 4070, and GeForce RTX 4080.
The results are from 3DMark Time Spy (Graphics). Higher is better.
Results are from 3DMark Fire Strike (Graphics) benchmark (higher the score, the better)
The results are from 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Unlimited. Higher is better.
Results are from the Unigine Superposition benchmark (higher the score, the better)
HP ZBook Studio G10 GPU variants
Here you can see an approximate comparison between the GPUs that can be found in the HP ZBook Studio G10 models on the market. This way you can decide for yourself which HP ZBook Studio G10 model is the best bang for your buck.
Note: The chart shows the cheapest different GPU configurations so you should check what the other specifications of these laptops are by clicking on the laptop’s name / GPU.
The results are from 3DMark Time Spy (Graphics). Higher is better.
Gaming tests
| Assassin’s Creed Valhalla | Full HD, Low (Check settings) | Full HD, Medium (Check settings) | Full HD, High (Check settings) | Full HD, Ultra (Check settings) |

| Average FPS | 120 fps | 100 fps | 86 fps |
| Gears 5 | Full HD, Low (Check settings) | Full HD, Medium (Check settings) | Full HD, High (Check settings) | Full HD, Ultra (Check settings) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average FPS | 194 fps | 146 fps | 126 fps | 103 fps |
Looking at Assassin’s Creed Valhalla results, we can say that the 60W NVIDIA RTX 3000 Ada Generation GPU performs better than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 [Laptop, 165W] which is a real surprise given the modest TGP. In the other three gaming tests, the professional chip is showing scores close to the results of the high TGP versions of the mobile GeForce RTX 3070 / 3080 – nice!
