Benchmarks: CPU
See what we mean about performance variation between laptops using the same chip? The Asus ROG Zephyrus M, Gigabyte Aero 15X and Scan 3XS LG15 Vengeance Pro are all outfitted with the Core i7-8750H, yet benchmark results in the multi-threaded workloads reveal a noticeable gap during real-world workloads.
Credit where it's due, the Active Aerodynamic System on Zephyrus M is working a treat, with the rear opening pulling enough cool air to keep the Core i7 chip running at higher than average speeds throughout our tests. It isn't quite a no-throttle result - CPU frequency did occasionally fall below 3.5GHz across all cores during the demanding Handbrake test - yet Asus does better than anyone else at maintaining peak speeds.
