Just last week, we produced the graphics and video of ASUS's Lingyao Pro16. It gave me a very good impression. The innovative DialPad virtual knobs are also very characteristic, but there are two points. Regrettably, one is that the virtual knob does not feel different in actual use, and it is easy to slide out; the other is that it does not support PD charging. However, ASUS actually released the higher-positioned ProArt Chuang 16 series at the press conference that day. PR oArt Gen 16 is a real productivity monster by checking for missing hardware.
IT Home also received the ProArt Chuang 16 engineering machine with R9-5900HX/32G/2TB (Raid 0)/RTX 3070/2.5K 120Hz IPS screen configuration. In this article, we will Take a look at its performance. It should be noted that the above storage configuration does not exist in actual sales. The versions currently on sale are:
R9-5900HX/32G/1TB/RTX 3070/2.5K 120Hz IPS screen
R9-5900HX/32G/2TB (Raid 0)/RTX 3070/4K OLED screen
metal industrial wind
ProArt Genesis 16 gives a full sense of weight as soon as it is used. As a 16-inch large-screen notebook, it weighs 2.4Kg under the blessing of the whole metal body, which is equivalent to the weight of a general gaming notebook. Of course, the hardware is also very powerful under this weight. It has passed the US military standard MIL STD 810H and can ensure safety in harsh environments.
A side only has a flat and simple ProArt Logo,Look and feel more low-key business.
The strange thing is that although the whole machine is very heavy, the B side does not support one-handed opening and closing, and the maximum opening and closing angle is about 150°. After unfolding side B, you can see a good screen with accurate colors and high scores. The specific quality of this screen will be tested in detail below. There is a camera and a stereo microphone at the top of the screen. The camera has a physical privacy picker. There is also a " ASUS " logo at the bottom.
When you see C surface, you will be attracted by the concave knob. Due to the frequent need to adjust the timeline to adjust the brush thickness and other operations, professional editor keyboards are often equipped with multiple knobs and shortcut keys. Asus pioneered the addition of physical knobs to the ProArt series, which is very efficient for cutting videos. high.
At the same time, there is a special function that can be customized into _ in the Adobe software beside the direction keys.
Back to the keyboard, this keyboard layout is very reliable, the numeric keypad, full-height direction keys and independent power fingerprint integrated buttons are available, I hope ASUS games can also use this layout, numbers There is also an engraving of the sound effect of the master "Harman Kardon" under the keypad.
The bottom touchpad is very large,It feels smooth and comfortable, supports 1024-level stylus, can be used as a simple touchpad, and there are rare physical three buttons below, which can significantly reduce finger fatigue caused by long working hours.
Finally, look at the D side. The design of the D side is also very unique, the air inlet is very large, and a StudioBook logo has been engraved. The D shell contains two 6W high-power speakers, and the sound quality is quite good under the tuning of Harman Kardon . Later, IT House will open the back cover for everyone to see what is going on.
In order to meet the needs of office and productivity groups, ProArt's 16 ports are also quite rich, the whole machine has two USB Type-A 3.2 GEN 2, an SD EXPRESS7.0 high-speed card reader, Two USB Type-C 3.2 GEN2 (support DP output and PD charging), 240W DC power interface, HDMI 2.1 and Gigabit Ethernet cable interface. There is no need to carry an expansion dock and a large power supply when you go out, which improves portability to a certain extent.
Productive "e-sports screen"
ProArt 16 has two 60-screen versions, 2.5K 120KHz IPS screen and 4 screens. Relatively speaking, the 2.5K 120Hz version can take into account design and gaming, while the 4K 60Hz OLED screen is pure productivity. What we received here is the 2.5K 120Hz version.
driver version data:
We adjusted the resolution to the highest 2.5K,The brightness is also manually adjusted to the highest level. Then use the color calibration instrument to test the color gamut. The measured color gamut covers 99.7% of sRGB, 83.8% of Adobe RGB and 98.6% of P3 color gamut, and the brightness has reached the requirements of HDR500. It is a big and bright piece. Good screen and fast.
The color standard performance is also quite good, the average color shift value ΔE is only 0.27, and the maximum ΔE is only 0.92. It seems that a professional color calibration has been done. The level of color performance.
hardware design
In order to let everyone have a deeper understanding of the hardware of this notebook, we will take it apart and introduce it directly. Unscrew the D-face screw, you can pry the bayonet from the air inlet of the shaft, you can see the heat dissipation design of dual heat pipes and six fans at the top, and 5900HX and RTX 3070 below the heat pipes, which are completely game-level configurations.
We update the latest BIOS and turn on the "rendering mode" to bake FPU for 15 minutes. The power consumption is stable at about 70W and the temperature is stable at 95°C. This performance release is still good.
For graphics cards, this RTX 3070 is a 90W version, but because it supports Dynamic Boost, it can reach a maximum power of 105W when a single-bake graphics card is at a temperature of 71°C, and the pressure is not great.
double bake for 15 minutes,The CPU is stable at 45W 89°C, and the GPU is stable at 90W 72°C, both can reach the preset TDP without frequency reduction.
Below the heat pipe is dual-channel memory, Samsung particles, 16G+16G dual-channel, and the frequency is 3200Mhz, which can meet the needs of large-scale rendering.
hard drives can be interesting. As we all know, this year’s AMD processors are not supported on PCIe 4.03Gbps hard drives, so the notebooks with the speed limit of PCIe 4.0 are not supported. It's about this level. ProArt Chuang 16 uses the very unique Raid 0 technology to connect two Western Digital SN730 hard drives in parallel, which doubles the speed and capacity, and obtains a large and fast 2T hard drive.
At the bottom is a 90Wh battery that can be shared with the mobile phone charger.
can work, edit and play online games
Next, let’s take a look at its theoretical running scores and actual experience. The first is this AMD mobile flagship processor 5900HX, which has 8 cores and 16 threads, a base frequency of 3.3GHz, and a maximum acceleration frequency of 4.6GHz. The measured R15 has the highest running score of 2320 and the lowest of 2152, which is only about 6%.
R20 single core running score 582 points,The multi-core run scored 5301 points.
R23 single-core running points 1485 points, multi-core running points 13371 points. It can be seen that the above-mentioned running points are all of the flagship level of the mobile terminal, and the performance release is also in place.
Next we will run the GPU performance score. In TimeSpy, the final score is 9308 points, which is a normal level of 3070, which can run most games smoothly at 2K resolution.
As the main productivity creative workbook, we first test some productivity software BenchMark, first is PCMark10, the final score is 6783 points, the score is very high, can cope with all daily use and most Digital content creation needs. The test results of
in the SPECviewperf 13 industrial software are as follows: Most rendering projects can be performed smoothly, and the modeling is completely OK.
Finally, we also tested the PugetBenchmark of the video editing software Adobe PR, and the PR score was as high as 864 points.
From the above productivity software test results, we can see that ProArt Chuang 16 can cope with most productivity scenarios, whether it is clip editing or 3D rendering. It can be satisfied.
So after work, can it play games? We have also tested several mainstream games. It should be noted that since the built-in RTX 3070 driver of the machine is NVIDIA Studio driver, the optimization is more productive and stable. The number of game frames will be reduced to a certain extent. If you have game needs, you can download the latest Game Ready driver by yourself. .
"CS:GO" running BenchMark at a resolution of 2560*1600 can run at 202 frames, running a full 120Hz screen is not a problem.
In "APEX Heroes" with higher configuration requirements, the highest image quality of 2560*1600 can be maintained at around 130 frames, and the experience is perfect.
Next, let’s challenge the 3A masterpiece. We run "Tomb Raider: Shadow" with the highest quality BenchMark at 2560*1600 resolution, and the final average frame rate is 72 Frames, so we can play most of the 3A masterpieces in medium and high quality downstream, but it is not possible with the blessing of DLSS, and there is definitely no problem with smooth playing.
"Rainbow Six: Siege" has its own Benchmark, and it can run to 176 frames under the highest quality of 2.5K resolution.The improvement is quite obvious.
In the popular domestic game " ", ProArt can run smoothly at about 85 frames at 2.5K resolution at the highest average quality.
Next we will test games with higher configuration requirements. In " PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ", we turned on the highest resolution of 2.5K, and the frame number has been floating around 115 frames during the game, which is very good with this high refreshing experience.
In Hideo Kojima ’s 3A masterpiece " Death Stranded 113", we turned on the 3A masterpiece " Death Stranded with Highest Quality 113 2.5" Frame around.
In the 2.5K highest quality of "Tomb Raider: Shadow", it can reach 72 frames, and high-resolution play is not a problem.
In the light chase masterpiece "Control", the 2.5K highest resolution and highest image quality is about 59 frames on average when DLSS is turned on. If you want to play smoothly, it is recommended to reduce the image quality by one stop.
The last game is "Cyberpunk 2077". Recently, the number of frames has dropped a few frames after some updates. This optimization is really nothing. ProArt Chuang 16 has an average of about 45 frames in 2.5K super light tracking quality. If you want to have fun, you may have to open to 1920*1200 resolution.
Special features
ProArt Chuang 16 is a special creative workbook that is different from the above-mentioned vid. In addition to the Studio driver, it also comes with ProArt Creator Hub control software, which is a control center for creative workers. In the lower left corner, you can easily switch the performance mode, or use the built-in color calibration program to calibrate the color, no need to download the third-party color calibration software.
In the control setting interface, you can customize the knobs and function keys, and customize their unique functions in the Adobe series software.
In addition, there is also ASUS computer 's own Ai noise reduction microphone option, which can effectively filter noise during a meeting and improve the work efficiency of business people.
Summary: Poke into the minds of creative workers
As far as I know,There are some special keyboards used by editors with only a few knobs and a row of shortcut keys. It can be said that knobs and custom shortcut keys can greatly improve the productivity of creative workers. Asus is the first to capture this demand. A knob like this is introduced on the previous page. Not only the knob, but also the excellent screen, strong performance and military-level security, it can be said that this is the dream workstation in the minds of creative workers.
However, the price that surprised the author the most is the price. As we all know, the price of this year's high-configuration notebook is magical, and creative work to meet specific needs is very expensive. The premium of ProArt Chuang 16 is not high. The RTX 3060 version only costs 10999 yuan, and the RTX 3070 version only costs 13,999 yuan. Considering the year and positioning, this price is a real conscience; in addition, there is also Intel Xeon W-11955M The top-of-the-line workstation version of the processor + RTX A5000 professional card is priced at 39,999 yuan. Friends who have specific field needs can pay attention to it.
