Performance: CPU, GPU, Gaming Tests
CPU options
This notebook can be found with the AMD Ryzen 3 7330U, Ryzen 5 7530U, or Ryzen 7 7730U. We got the latter in order to see if the cooling solution of this inexpensive machine can handle the most powerful chip available for the series.
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)
GPU options
Depending on which CPU is fitted under the hood, you can rely on three iGPU variants – AMD Radeon RX Vega 6 (R4000/5000, 15W), Radeon RX Vega 7 (R4000/5000, 15W), or AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 (R4000/5000, 15W).
Results are from the 3DMark: Time Spy (Graphics) benchmark (higher the score, the better)
Results are from the 3DMark: Fire Strike (Graphics) benchmark (higher the score, the better)
Results are from the 3DMark: Wild Life benchmark (higher the score, the better)
Results are from the Unigine Superposition benchmark (higher the score, the better)
Gaming tests
| CS:GO | HD 1080p, Low (Check settings) | HD 1080p, Medium (Check settings) | HD 1080p, MAX (Check settings) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average FPS | 117 fps | 76 fps | 53 fps |
| DOTA 2 | HD 1080p, Low (Check settings) | HD 1080p, Normal (Check settings) | HD 1080p, High (Check settings) |
|---|---|---|---|

Regardless of the fact that we got a laptop with 8GB of DDR4 RAM that is working in single-channel mode, the iGPU performance in light games such as CS:GO and Dota 2 is good.
A unique phenomenon occurs in this site’s CPU tests.
Lately the same processors have achieved exactly same results in the multicore benchmarks.
Impressive!
