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.
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
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.
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)

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!
