Most importantly, the Exa S5 Pro also uses new color black technology applications, such as Acer Exa Color technology that can fine-tune color temperature and contrast, and Acer Color Intelligence technology that can dynamically adjust Gamma and saturation in real time, showing the most comfortable color experience for users at all times. In terms of performance, after upgrading the 12th generation Intel® Core™ processor, the Extraordinary S5 Pro has been comprehensively improved. This laptop has the highest option for Core™ i7-1260P processor. This processor has 12 cores and 16 threads, a reference frequency of 2.1GHz, and a maximum turbo frequency of 4.7GHz. Combined with Intel hyperthreading technology, workloads are allocated reasonably, which doubles the efficiency of multitasking. In addition, Core™ i7-1260P also integrates the new generation of Ruiju Xe graphics cards, with the unique graphics performance, which greatly improves the graphics processing capabilities, and can bring a powerful and pleasant experience for both audio and video entertainment and graphics editing.
Regarding Intel's newly developed P series processors and platforms, the core elements are mainly two aspects. First, Intel Alder Lake-P series processors are a new processor product specially designed by Intel for thin and light laptops. It is a new series introduced by the Core™ family in addition to standard voltage H and low-power U series. With 28W basic power consumption and excellent energy efficiency, it can be regarded as the king of standard pressure performance, taking into account both performance and lightness, making it hopeful to show its strength in future thin and light notebooks.
Intel Alder Lake-P series processors have powerful heterogeneous computing capabilities. Through the collaboration of performance cores and energy efficiency cores, they can deal with the growing demand for complex multitasking operations, and are extremely efficient. More importantly, although E-Core in Intel's heterogeneous hybrid architecture, that is, energy-efficient core, is born for energy saving, but compared with the "small core" born for energy saving, its performance is sufficient to meet the needs of heavy productivity applications such as video rendering. It can be said that it is the "energy-efficiency core" that truly combines performance with low power consumption.
Not only that, Intel Alder Lake-P series processors have three built-in artificial intelligence acceleration engines, and are supported by intelligence in scenarios such as picture editing, precise noise reduction, and rapid transcoding, injecting inspiration into the laptop and the possibility of letting it go. In addition, Intel Iris®Xe graphics card realizes intelligent dynamic power sharing, and the CPU and GPU are combined to complement each other, providing unique conditions for young creators to focus more on creative inspiration itself.
Moreover, Alder Lake-P has all new features of the 12th generation Core™ platform, including support for high-speed LPDDR5 memory, support for Wi-Fi 6E, and support for Thunderbolt 4. This complete system can help thin and light laptops build a more powerful comprehensive application experience.
Intel Evo™ super light and thin experience, and the laptop evolves again. From the upgrade and iteration of the Extraordinary S5 Pro processor, we can see that after being equipped with the 12th generation Intel® Core™ processor, relying on the powerful performance of heterogeneous computing, we have led the thin and light notebooks to enter the era of intelligence. In addition, it has AI intelligent noise reduction technology, providing a super-powerful AI office experience for today's growing demand for video conferencing. At the same time, the S5 Pro comes standard with Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) and ICPS, and intelligently recommends Wi-Fi hotspots, intelligently allocate bandwidth and other technologies and functions, allowing products to overspeed connections and increase network speed by up to 30%.
understands the specifications of the processor, and we then verify its computing power through a set of tests:
In terms of overall machine performance, the PC Mark 10 Extended score reached 5491 points, of which the commonly used basic functions are as high as 11379 points, and the productivity is 7678 points, indicating that in terms of basic performance and daily office work, the Extraordinary S5 Pro has a much smoother user experience.
This must be good news for users who can use laptops to create graphics. The Extraordinary S5 Pro has excellent multi-core CPU performance.The 12th generation Core™ i7-1260P processor in CINEBENCH R15 has single core 246, multi-core 1996, R20 single core multi-core scores are 679 and 4132, respectively, and the multi-core scores in R23 have reached 9149. This score is among the top among the thin and light notebooks currently on sale, and can fully support your personal creation. When running some creative software, it can support your workflow well.
In addition, when we conducted a single baking test on the processor, the test results showed that the processor can work stably at 25W. You should know that the maximum power consumption of i7-1260P is 28W, which is already very good. At the same time, the core temperature is only 68 degrees, proving that the processor can run cool and stable.
Intel 12th Generation Core™ i7-1260P processor integrates Intel Iris ®Xe graphics card, and the overall display effect and performance have also been improved. In the 3DMark Fire Strike test standard, the total score of the Extraordinary S5 Pro reached 4948 points, while in the 3DMark Time Spy test, the score was 1841 points. There was no problem in running various mainstream games and completing daily video clip rendering.
In addition, in terms of other hardware configurations, the Viagra S5 Pro on-board dual-channel 16GB LPDDR5 6400MHz high-frequency memory and 1TB PCIe Gen 4 solid-state drive are both mainstream. We tested the solid-state drives through CrystalDiskMark 8, and the results showed a first-tier PCIe 4.0 score performance, especially the 4K random read reached 96.11 MB/s, and the write speed was as high as 267.19 MB/s, which was guaranteed.
can maintain long-term and stable operation, which is inseparable from the design of a high-quality cooling system. In terms of cooling, the Extraordinary S5 Pro uses a luxury specification of dual fans with "double-wing" copper tube. Combined with the three-dimensional air duct design, the cooling efficiency is increased by 8% compared with the previous generation. Moreover, this design inherits the fan silent mode of Acer gaming product Predator series. The dual 3D silent ring fans make the notebook noise as low as 40 decibels in the equalization mode. At the same time, the air flux is increased by 10%, the heat dissipation is quieter, and the performance can also be output stably. In addition, the design of the notebook opening has also been improved. The tilting butt-bearing method is conducive to the inlet and outlet of the air, increasing ventilation, and the raised keyboard makes typing more comfortable, killing two birds with one stone.
So, what does it mean that the noise can be controlled at 40 decibels in the equalization mode? In order to meet the needs of different consumers in multiple scenarios, Acer has added three different mode adjustment functions to the application level of the Extraordinary S5 Pro. Users only need to press the Fn+F key combination to switch between silent mode, balanced mode and performance mode, allowing users to turn on silent mode in conference venues, activate all-round balance in office spaces, and operate at high speed in entertainment scenarios. This not only saves electricity, but also can complete all applications efficiently, which is extremely convenient.
Since it is a thin and light laptop for high-end business people, it must be a bit of a "unique skill". The Extraordinary S5 Pro has Modern Standby technology, which can prevent the laptop from shutting down for a long time and go to sleep. When you need to use it, it instantly wakes up the host and keeps it online all the time. This function has two advantages. One is that it consumes very low power when it is not turned off, and it will not consume too much power, so that the battery remains abundant at all times. Second, when you have to take out your laptop to use it at any time, you can wake up immediately, work and double your efficiency.
In addition, the Feifan S5 Pro is also equipped with a MIPI FHD full HD camera module, which has TNR video noise reduction function. Compared with other traditional cameras, it can greatly reduce video noise and improve picture quality clarity. At the same time, it also supports AI noise reduction function, so that during the period when there are more video conference calls, you can clearly hear the content of voice interaction. Even in the noisy outdoor environment, the two-way noise reduction mode is like facing each other, which feels more realistic. In terms of the keyboard of
, the Extreme S5 Pro has another major improvement over the Extreme S5. It combines fingerprint recognition login and power-on keys into one, so that there is no need to open another fingerprint recognition hole on the C side, and it also enables instant unlocking after power-on, saving cumbersome passwords. The keyboard of the new Extraordinary S5 Pro uses a 1.3mm high elastic key stroke, which is very comfortable to hit and is very suitable for text workers.Moreover, the 3-level backlit keyboard design can avoid misoperation even in low-light environments. In terms of
interface, the Feifan S5 Pro3 did not abandon the number of interfaces because it was a thin and light notebook, and its matching was still extremely rich. It has a dual full-speed Thunderbolt 4 interface, which can support dual 4K or single 8K video input, and its compatibility, reliability and security have also been greatly improved. It has one HDMI 2.0 interface, two USB 3.2 interfaces (one of which supports shutdown and charging), and one headset integrated interface, which can easily meet the needs of multiple scenarios.
users are most concerned about the battery life of thin and light laptops. After all, they have to carry them out to work and applications at any time. Of course, the Feifan S5 Pro also deeply considers this for users, so its built-in 56Wh large-capacity lithium battery can reach 9.5 hours of laboratory data, making users worry-free when going out. However, even if the battery is low, you don’t have to worry too much, because this thin and light laptop supports 65W PD fast charging function, which can quickly recover blood. It can be used for 30 minutes to 4 hours of fast charging, saying goodbye to battery concerns.
Overall, the appearance design of Acer Extraordinary S5 Pro is more classy, and the addition of the Yihui Golden waistline adds a lot of color. It meets the strict certification standards of Intel Evo™ to bring super performance and portable experience to thin and light notebooks. With the support of all-rounders such as silent design, large touch screen, high-definition camera, rich interfaces, and ultra-long battery life, Extraordinary S5 Pro is definitely the best choice for high-end business people.
