is in the start of the school season recently, and there are more and more freshmen in college who are conducting machine purchase consultation in the backend of our WeChat official account. Many freshmen have a budget of about 7,000 yuan, mainly playing e-sports games/online games, and professional Applications require processor performance. Which gaming laptop is suitable?
For the needs of this type of student group, Uncle Niu’s suggestion is to give priority to high-spec processor models. With an RTX 3050 level, it can basically handle all online games. Thor's latest 911X Waste Hunter is a gaming laptop equipped with the 12th generation Core i9 12900H processor. Today we will take this phone as an example to see the actual performance of this type of high-spec processor gaming laptop.

When I first saw the body of the Thor 911X Wild Hunter (at that time it was still an engineering machine ), it gave Uncle Niu a bright feeling - unlike Thor's previous 911 series gaming laptops, the A side of this new phone adopts a new "Breaking Border" ID design language, which is more youthful and personal change.
▲First, let's take a photo of the A-side of the 911X Waste Hunter. The edge of the body and the big letters are surrounded by engraving lines, showing a strong tech mecha color, and it will not look exaggerated. This design has been passed down by us Unanimous appreciation!
▲Several small details are also in line with the aesthetics of college students today: the obliquely cut diamond pattern biting process ThundeRobot's large letter LOGO is very recognizable. There is a Thor logo on the upper corner, which of course can shine, further enhancing the texture of the entire machine. The air outlet at the rear is painted orange, which is matched with Thor's luminous LOGO, and the tone of the whole machine is lively and not exaggerated. In addition, the body of the machine is not easy to get fingerprinted and is easy to take care of.
▲The screen surface is designed with three narrow bezels, equipped with a high color gamut 144Hz e-sports screen. The camera is retained above and the lower bezel is slightly wider.
actual test screen brightness up to 322 nits, 96% sRGB color gamut, color accuracy △E average value is 2.15, it is a typical full HD resolution high-resolution laptop e-sports screen, meeting users' gaming entertainment and daily movie viewing It is suitable for working needs and the RTX 3050Ti independent graphics card of the phone.
▲The C side continues the mecha engraving design on the A side, and the touchpad also has a circle of orange thin lines surrounding it. The power button is in the middle of the top of the C side, and the independent button can glow. In fact, the C side is an easy thing to be ignored. Many cost-saving gaming laptops have very dull C side, so of course there is no sense of design. The keyboard has white backlight, straight design, and a normal feel.
▲The left side of the body, two USB large ports, one 3.5mm audio port, and one power port.
▲The right side of the body is an interface, a USB port, a Type-C port, a HMDI2.1 port, and an RJ45 wired network port. The specifications of the C port are not Thunderbolt 4 are a bit regrettable. The actual weight of the entire machine of
911X Waste Hunter is 2.31kg. This year, it is considered a relatively light gaming laptop. Now many models are thickening and heavy (for stronger performance release), with a 2.5kg body forming. It's normal.
In general, the appearance design of the 911X Waste Hunter is successful. The new mecha style makes this model unique in temperament, which meets the new generation of college students' personality and no exaggeration of the appearance aesthetic needs of the gamebook.
i9 12900H continues to output 65W, and the single-core powerful
evaluation model 911X Waste Hunter's core hardware combination is Intel i9 12900H processor + RTX 3050Ti 4GB independent graphics card. The i9 12900H is a powerful processor in the 12th generation Core mobile platform. In addition to its powerful specifications of 14 cores and 20 threads, the single-core performance is particularly impressive, with the highest turbo frequency reaching 5GHz. In daily life, the single-core performance is It performs better in applications such as operations and online games.
room temperature is around 25℃, set the 911X Waste Hunter to the Furious Mode (the strongest mode of this machine). In the Aida64 mid-single test processor (single test FPU), the initial burst power consumption is 80W, and the machine test will be tested for 30 minutes. After that, the processor runs stably at 65W. At this time, the frequency of the large core is about 3.4GHz, the frequency of the small core is about 2.5GHz, and the temperature of the processor is only 78℃. For the temperature of a gaming laptop, it is considered Very low. According to the test machine, the continuous performance release of the 911X Waste Hunter is about 65W, which is a small release that exceeds the standard. From the perspective of evaluation, the processor performance of this machine actually has room for improvement, which can be more radical. For example, running around 85W should not be a big problem. Of course, the unimproved performance release brings advantages in the user experience: the 911X Waste Hunter fan noise control is good, and the processor is full of loads is not noisy.
Below is a detailed processor running score data test.

The acceleration frequency of up to 5GHz is fully reflected in the single-core performance test of each test software. It has certain advantages for some applications that eat single-core performance, such as PS, CAD and most online games.
In a long period of full load, Uncle Niu chose Blender rendering and video transcoding to test the full load performance of the machine. First, Blender rendering, which is divided into BMW27 and Classroom scenes. The time spent by 911X Waste Hunter is 2 minutes and 35 seconds respectively. and 6 minutes and 18 seconds. For reference, the 8-core, 16-thread standard-pressure H processor takes 3 minutes, 19 seconds and 7 minutes, 14 seconds respectively. In the rendering of about 7 minutes, the time is reduced by about 1 minute, and the efficiency improvement is obvious.
video transcoding continues our commonly used test project and uses Media Encoder CC to convert more than 18 minutes of 4K video into 1080P. Since the machine is equipped with RTX 3050Ti independent graphics, we use the CUDA acceleration platform From the transcoding process Look, the power consumption of the i9 12900H is about 42W, and the power consumption of the RTX 3050Ti is about 45W, which takes about 4 minutes and 22 seconds, and is very efficient. It takes more than 10 minutes for general 8-core 16 threads to use the processor solution to transcoding.
processor test summary: From the perspective of test machine and data test, the continuous performance of the 911X Waste Hunter processor is released at 65W. Due to its high specifications of 14 cores and 20 threads, the actual performance of this machine is strong, no matter whether it is short. In terms of performance tests or full-load performance tests, they can easily crush the 8-core 16-thread standard pressure H processor, and there is no problem in solving heavy applications at the college level, and there is also very high performance redundancy!

test machine and noise test
room temperature is around 25℃, and Aida64 and FurMark are used to conduct a double test test (furious mode) on the 911X wild hunter. The situation after half an hour is as follows: The packaging power consumption of the i9 12900H processor is about 45W , the frequency of large cores is about 2.8GHz, the frequency of small cores is about 2.2GHz, and the temperature is about 86℃; the power consumption of RTX 3050Ti is 80W, and the temperature is 83.2℃. The total power consumption at full load is 45W+80W, which completely suppresses the i9 12900H+RTX 3050Ti. The temperature is not high and the heat dissipation is very good.
Surface temperature and noise: 911X The C-side temperature of the Waste Hunter is very well controlled, and the WASD control button areas on the left are all less than 40℃ - this means that long-term gaming experience has no effect on players. The heat accumulates in the middle of the keyboard, and the maximum is about 40℃, which makes it slightly hot.
noise, the user bit noise when the machine is fully loaded is about 52 decibels, and you can hear a relatively obvious fan running sound, but it is the level of the standard pressure H processor lightweight model, which is lower than most gaming laptops. Of course, Not to mention those "take off" models, the noise control of this aircraft is worthy of recognition.
This machine is easy to disassemble, but you need to pay attention to a hidden screw. The internal design is regular, dual fans and dual heat pipes are used to dissipate heat, and an M.2 SSD hard disk space is reserved.
Low temperature and no noise are a major feature of 911X Waste Hunter. This is also verified from Uncle Niu’s actual game experience. In other words, in addition to the parameters and running scores, the use of 911X Waste Hunter The experience is very outstanding!
