Honor MagicBook 14 2021: Intel Core i5 actual performance

The productivity of computers or laptops depends on hardware performance. In this regard, Honor MagicBook 14 2021 has a very clear positioned position. As for the general public and consumers who pay more attention to lightness and thinness for easy-carrying. Therefore, terms of performance must satisfy the needs of consumers. However, leave plenty of room for heat dissipation and battery life. Therefore, Honor MagicBook 14 2021 currently provides three models of specifications, called 11th-generation Core i5 core graphic version, i5 independent graphic version, and i7 independent graphic version.

Next, we will take Core i5 core graphic version as a sample. This version without an independent graphic card is very suitable for businessmen. After all, eliminating the independent graphic version will improve the reduction of overheating rate and increase battery life. Therefore, the following tests are also carried out around the performance of the i5 core graphic version. And surely, the independent graphic version is more suitable for users who need simple graphics processing and online games.

11th-Generation Intel Core i5

The specs of 11th -generation Core i5 used in Honor MagicBook 14 2021 is i5-1135G7, which is a new high-efficiency processor product for mid-range users launched by Intel in 2020. This processor is equipped with the Tiger Lake structure, including 10nm process technology, physical quad-core, octuple-core threads, and 8MB cache at three-level. The basic frequency is 2.4GHz, the highest core frequency can reach 4.2GHz, and the TDP is up to 28W. Overall, compared to the previous generation i5 11th-generation is very obvious.

The eye-catching aspect and sale point of this processor is a brand-new Intel Xe core graphic card. Compared with the previous Intel core, the performance can be described as a rapid improvement, although the core graphic is hard to be a major task in the face of large-scale 3D games. However, targeted at the ordinary online games, as well as new high-definition decoding have good performance, this undoubtedly represents that ultra-thin notebook computers can also get good performance in some game entertainment scenes.

Storage

Honor MagicBook 14 2021 is equipped with a built-in 16GB of DDR4 dual-channel memory, and also provides a 512GB of nvme SSD. In terms of peripherals, it spares no effort to provide WiFi 6 wireless network support with 2untitleddaily2 MIMO antennas, as well as Bluetooth 5.1 and dual sound Road speakers, it can be said that this ultra-thin notebook fully meets the 2021 new product pioneer specifications.

Honor MagicBook 14 2021 Performance Testing

Next, we may wish to conduct a small test on the performance of the product. The test is mainly based on the benchmark test of the processor to see how the eleventh generation Intel Core i5 actually performs.

wPrime Testing

wPrime is the same as the previous SuperPI testing mechanism, which tests CPU computing power through prime number calculations. On Honor MagicBook 14 2021, the i5-1135G7 performed 357 seconds at 1024M after eight threads of synchronization in this test.

CineBench R15 & CineBench R20 Testing

According to CineBench R15 test result, Honor MagicBook 14 2021 scored 877 points for all cores, 158 points for single cores, and multi-core collaboration. The efficiency multiple is 5.5, and OpenGL runs at an average of 87 frames. The single-core in this score is indeed very good, especially the OpenGL operation is beyond the current AMD standard pressure platform corresponding results. As for CineBench R20, the full core score of this product reached 2148 points, and the single-core performance also reached 393 points, which is also outstanding in single-core capabilities.

AS SSD Benchmark Testing

As for the solid-state drive test, we chose AS SSD Benchmark. And the test result is that Honor MagicBook 14 2021 scored more than 5,300 points. This score is basically on par with the performance of Western Digital black disks and Samsung 970 Evo, except for the 4K item in the current nvme disk. In addition to the mainstream level, random read and write performance is very good, which also means that the performance shortcomings of this notebook are almost non-existent.

Conclusion

According to the test above-mentioned, with the help of Intel's 11th generation Core i5, Honor MagicBook 14 2021 has a very impressive performance in many thin and light notebook markets, although the graphics performance of the core display alone cannot satisfy the needs of heavy gamers. All requirements, but this is highly compatible with the earlier AMD fusion position, which is to achieve a two-way performance leap between CPU and GPU within a limited space, and further reduce the heat of the whole machine, bring about energy efficiency improvements, and This computer does not hesitate to use Samsung’s nvme SSD to further eliminate performance bottlenecks. In view of this, Honor MagicBook 14 2021 has no regrets and shortcomings in performance, and it is more in the light and thin category.
