  • The ASUS Zephyrus G14 gaming notebook is one of the first with the new Ryzen 9 4900HS CPU. In this review we look at CPU performance, battery life and more to see if this new notebook processor compares to the Intel i9-9980HK and i7-9750H.

      3:30 AMD and everyone else had already explained that PCIe 4.0 support means higher power consumption and heat and is thus redundant in laptops. Not sure why it's 'important' when PCIe 3.0 SSDs still work for 99.9% of users.

      I have a question. First, thank you for a great review. As for the lid, I'm very disappointed. I really do not see any reason for the existence of these deep holes in the lid unless there is an animematrix. I cannot understand why this lid cannot be smooth and without holes. In the past, I saw a video of an Asus employee presenting a G14 without AnimeMatrix and this lid had no holes and the lid was smooth. So I'm confused. Anyway, I want the new MSI Gs66 to have this processor and availability for 3200 Hz memory. Unfortunately it will not happen! Can you provide information about the lid of the g14? since these holes are unsightly and impractical, and I don't like AnimeMatrix, it limits me to get this notebook. I'd like the lid smooth.

      I just hope that now that quad cores are beginning to be retired we can finally see games take better advantage of parallel processing. I also hope that I Intel does get their shit together soon to compete with AMD on price and performance again

      Well, yes and no, at the end of the day you should purchase something that is worth it's price and not get hung up on brand names and loyalty. AMD's current offerings offer a great price for performance and that's why they're killing it. My current AMD hardware include a Ryzen 5 paired with a Nitro+ 5700 XT and I'm extremely happy with those choices, they meet my need and the price paid was reasonable to me :)

      How about we push for international laws that say that unless you can up the performance by at least 25% compared to previous generations, then you aren't allowed to release a new generation, and if you don't release a new generation in more than 3 years, you get taxed more?

      Your Friend amd had a fraction of the R&D that intel and nvidia did. And they have to compete on gpu and cpu fronts, intel poached all the best designers for years. I don’t think amd really could have done anything. They had to wait until intel stagnated, other wise they would’ve spent a bunch of money only for intel to just release an iterative update to crush it. Sometimes you gotta play the long game

    Great review! I agree the placement of the Type A USB ports is not great for external mouse users, but a 90 degree USB extension should take care of that issue. The lack of webcam doesn't seem like a dealbreaker, especially since most laptops come with crappy 720p cameras. A decent 1080p webcam is less than $50.

      You're probably going to have to wait for a Surface Book 3. Microsoft spent a lot of time and money designing custom displays just for the Surface Book. I always wondered why MS didn't use the same display on the Surface Laptops, turns out they couldn't have been price competitive if they did. Maybe look at an MSI Prestige or Acer Creator notebook - or dare I say it, MacBook Pro 16. If you want a display on the same level as the SB, you're going to have to pay a lot and it's not going to have a high refresh rate.

      They need to. This is Intel's last true bastion when it comes to the consumer and business markets. If 1st line PC manufacturers like Dell and HP accept and push AMD CPUs over Intel, it will pretty much be the end of Intel as the big name in both Desktop and Laptop sectors, leaving only Server markets. However Intel has a lot of money and is well known for paying these manufacturers to ship millions of their CPUs preferentially. The main issue though is that AMD doesn't the capacity to produce "millions" of CPUs like Intel. And that tends to be a major bottleneck when it comes to these big companies choosing AMD.

The main negatives, IMO, are the dim screen and no TB3 as that means no EGPU. My main uses are Unity dev and other software dev. I actually don’t game so I cannot speak there.

    • @LeBlafy
      @LeBlafy Před 4 lety +3

      Actually no, having the same frequency is more important. If you put a 16gb stick with the 8gb on board memory (24 total), you will still have dual channel : 16gb will be on dual channel, and 8gb on single, a hybrid mode. But that's alright, your system will prioritize the fastest and the difference with a dual channel is insignificant.
      If you add a 32gb, you will have 32gb as dual and 8gb as single. So 40gb is ok too.

As they will be "last gen" at the point you can start buying these, and will probably get a discount once intel counters with its 10th gen mobile 8 core offerings.

    Granted they do target slightly different audiences, and there are compromises the G14 makes that P15 doesn't (e.g. RAM, screen, webcam, TB3), but the huge performance delta is so difficult for any other aspects of the overall package to make up for.
