**The Intel 13 Gen CPU and NVIDIA RTX 4090 Laptop GPU: A Powerhouse Combination**

Way back to 3600, we've seen some incredible advancements in technology, but when it comes to laptops, power is still a major concern. While an almost eight-pound laptop may not be the most portable device, its massive 99.9 watt-hour battery and paired with Intel's refreshed GT77 series CPU and NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU, make it a force to be reckoned with.

In terms of performance, the single-core results bring things a bit closer to the previous generation Titan, but the 13 Gen CPUs still have a significant advantage. Consistently hitting higher single-threaded air speeds than previous architectures, these new CPUs are a game-changer in the world of laptops. The heavy multi-threaded real-world apps also showcase the power of this combination, with the 3980HX CPU absolutely dominating against even the fastest high-end gaming laptops from 2022.

However, it's essential to consider that most high-end laptops can only budget between 90 watts and 110 Watts for the CPU. This raises an interesting question: how will performance align when these new CPUs aren't being given an insane amount of power? The answer lies in the benchmark results, which show the GT77 performing exceptionally well even with moderate power consumption.

**Balance Between Performance and Portability**

One significant aspect to consider is battery life. While the Titan's massive 99.9 watt-hour battery helps it stand out, performance is expected to drop like a stone once the load increases. This means that despite its impressive capabilities, the GT77 may not be as portable or long-lasting as some might hope.

**Benchmarks and Real-World Results**

To get a comprehensive understanding of what this laptop can and cannot do, I'll be testing it in both Balance and Extreme Performance modes. The results from heavy multi-threaded real-world apps are almost identical to Cinebench's results when given enough power. With the 3980HX CPU, there's a significant 40-performance increase over the previous generation Titan HX, even within a single generation.

The other program that doesn't see any improvements by moving to a 13 Gen and RTX 4090 combo is Adobe Photoshop. This feels more like a program optimization problem rather than a major issue. Adobe Premiere Pro also doesn't show significant improvements, which may be due to the fact that this is not a new phenomenon on the desktop side either.

**Gaming Performance**

One of the most exciting aspects of the GT77 is its gaming performance. With the NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU and paired CPU, render speeds become exponentially fast compared to even the fastest 2022 laptops. The results are marked down below for your convenience.

In Extreme Performance mode, the laptop delivers blistering speeds that set a new standard for gaming laptops. With high resolutions like 1080P, 1440p, and 4K, the GT77 performs admirably. While not every program is optimized for this level of performance, those that are take full advantage of its capabilities.

**A New Standard for Gaming Laptops**

The Intel 13 Gen CPU and NVIDIA RTX 4090 Laptop GPU combination marks a new standard for gaming laptops. With its exceptional single-threaded performance, multi-threaded real-world app dominance, and outstanding gaming speeds, this laptop is poised to set the bar high for competitors.

However, it's essential to remember that this is one device that has been hand-picked by Intel and NVIDIA to showcase what's possible in an absolute best-case scenario. The CPU and GPU being fed with almost ridiculous amounts of power will be a far cry from what most other new laptops can offer.

**A Conclusion**

In conclusion, the Intel 13 Gen CPU and NVIDIA RTX 4090 Laptop GPU are a powerhouse combination that sets a new standard for gaming laptops. While it's essential to consider the limitations and potential drawbacks of its performance, the results speak for themselves. With its exceptional speeds, real-world app dominance, and outstanding gaming capabilities, this laptop is an absolute force to be reckoned with.

As we move forward into the year, I'm excited to see what other competition looks like from Razer, Asus, Acer, and others. It's shaping up to be a great year for gaming laptops, and I can't wait to dive into the results and explore what each device has to offer.

**Disclaimer**

Don't forget to spend responsibly when it comes to your laptop purchases. A high-performance device like this one may require significant investment, but it's essential to prioritize your needs and budget accordingly.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enguys not too long ago I showed you some of the fastest gaming laptops from 2022 but this year things are about to get pretty nuts and it all starts today with the launch of Intel's 13 gen Raptor Lake Mobile CPUs along with nvidia's RTX 4000 laptop gpus so what I have in front of me is the MSI gt77 Titan the 2023 model with a flagship core I9 3980hx and a Nvidia RTX 4090 so it's not the same specs as the desktop card but as far as laptop graphics cards go this thing is impressive for gaming and yes if you're a Creator this thing has you covered anyways the crazy part of this is how close this thing can come close to desktop CP performance AMD is really pushing Intel to innovate these days and the results I'm not gonna lie are super super impressive because when you compare to cinebench to two desktop systems providing Intel's other high-end CPUs it can actually beat the 12900k by about 10 that's almost unbelievable guys and it isn't just synthetic benchmarks like cinebench either real world CPU focused apps like Maya blender and Houdini all show it beating the desktop sometimes by a pretty big amount too I mean sure it still weighs off from the 3900k but seeing a laptop compete with and beat a top dock CPU that was launched a bit over a year ago shows you how far laptop architectures have come and maybe how much the desktop side has stagnated too now there's a good reason for why this processor is doing so good in a laptop and it all boils down to how Intel's approaching their new ultra high in CPUs because they're throwing more cores more frequencies more power and more heat output into them at least for the HX Series so let let me explain this basically the HX series is sitting above the standard 8 series processors by running in a power range of between 55 and 157 Watts right across the entire lineup what's really different this time around is Intel's adding more performance and efficiency cores across almost the entire stack that means the 3900hx series right at the top are a bunch of 32 threaded beasts with 36 megabytes of L3 cache so 8 threads and 6 megabytes more than the best all the lake laptop and desktop processors from last year so other than some minor architecture changes the ability to cram in more cores into the CPU is one of the reasons why you're seeing a raptor lake mobile CPU beating a previous gen desktop in multi-turned apps it simply has more threads to work with guys I also need to address the gt77 Titan as well because this is meant to be a sorta Tech demo and yes it's one that you can actually buy but it's a really Niche device guys MSI has designed this in partnership with Intel and Nvidia as something that highlights what today's fastest mobile CPU and GPU can do when being pushed close to their absolute highest power limits this thing sets a benchmark but one that's going to be pretty unrealistic for other laptops with the same combo this laptop also comes with some sacrifices too other than msi's dodgy build quality for such an expensive device I mean honestly I think they could have done a little bit better you can call it a desktop replacement but that's debatable on a ton of points that I won't get into here either way it is still technically a portable laptop and I mean technically since the gt77 is a thick boy with a stupidly big 330 watt power brick that's almost the size of a Dell XPS 13 and it also weighs more than the XPS 13 too but let's be honest this thing is going to be spending most of its time taking up the same footprint as an ITX case on your desk but there is a positive trade-off to all of this which is performance because with such a huge amount of space MSI was able to juice this thing up with tons and tons of power I mean it comes with a 330 watt adapter and so they are putting it to good use because the I9 3900hx is pushed all the way to 134 watts in its Extreme Performance mode and 120 watts and balanced now sure the processor does get a bit toasty in both modes but it's still far enough away from Intel's 100 degree t-junction and that's nothing to worry about meanwhile the other two modes pretty much the CPU in order to either maximize battery life or just stay as silent as possible the RTX 4090 gets in on the action 2 by hitting between 145 watts and 165 watts in all modes except battery saver and it stays pretty cool too which proves msi's cooling system is doing a pretty good job frequencies also stay above nvidia's upper 2 gigahertz boost clocks back in both balanced and Extreme Performance mode but it does come with a drawback because this is by far the loudest laptops we've ever come across like ever even balance mode gets above our 50 decibel comfort zone so look it's great if you're using headphones but otherwise just do your ears a favor and just stick to silence the only problem there is that you're gonna smash face first into lower performance mode too and so that's definitely something that you don't want to experience when you're paying so much money for a laptop of this caliber the other issue actually comes from the Raptor lake mobile CPU architecture now while Intel list the HX series is having memory speeds of ddr5 5600 that's only in the best case scenario because these processors come with dual memory channels and a lot of laptops but not the MSI here will end up coming with two memory slots in that kind of situation with 16 gigabytes or 32 gigabytes installed the maximum speed is ddr5 5600 but jump to 64 gigabytes with two 32 gigabyte modules and it drops to ddr5 5200 since 32 gigabyte modules are dual rank the problem really lies in the designs with four memory slots like the Titan even with just 64 gigabytes installed across costs two 32 gigabyte dual rank modules speeds dropped to ddr5 4000. now add another two sticks like what MSI does with their 128 gigabyte model that costs 700 more than this one and you're getting cut all the way back to 3600 so while you may have an insane amount of memory capacity performance is going to drop like a stone and what about battery life I mean look do you really expect an almost eight pound laptop to be carted around all the time probably not but you can still get away with it sorta since the Titan gets some of the worst numbers we've seen in a while and as the overall load increases it slides further and further backwards with the only thing that really saves time away from the plug being the massive 99.9 watt hour battery even that can't save it when under a heavy load though so yeah you're certainly sacrificing something here so that sets a stage for the benchmarks and in order for you to get the completely full picture of what this thing can actually do and can't do I'm going to be testing in both balance and Extreme Performance notes and right away there's almost no comparing this refreshed gt77 to anything that's been available before mostly because of the extra processing threads and the additional power being fed into the CPU versus the previous generation Titan the single core results bring things a bit closer but the 13 gen CPUs still have a significant Advantage here since they can consistently hit higher single third air speeds than previous architectures the other results from heavy multi-threaded real world apps pretty much show the same thing as cinebench when it's given enough power the 3980hx can absolutely dominate against even the fastest high-end gaming laptops from 2022 and we're not talking about a small amount either since in some programs there's a good 40 performance increase over the 12900 HX and remember this is within a single generation but this also raises another question how will performance of these new CPUs align when they aren't being given an insane amount of power because realistically most high-end laptops can only budget between 90 watts and 110 Watts for the CPU now the only small hiccup here is Photoshop but this feels more like a program optimization problem rather than a major issue Adobe Premiere is another program that doesn't really see any improvements by moving to a 13 gen and RTX 4090 combo and that's a bit surprising but it's also something we've seen on the desktop side as well so hopefully Adobe and Nvidia can get their optimization sorted out pretty soon because resolve proves what something like the gt77 can really do when you couple nvidia's dual encoders with a fast CPU render speeds get exponentially fast versus even the fastest 2022 laptop and what about gaming well that's a big question isn't it so what I'm going to do is just let the results run their way through since there's only so many ways that I can say this thing is ridiculously stupidly fast compared to some of the other laptops if you want a specific resolution so like 1080P 1440p and 4K they're all marked into the timestamps down below and once again we did test this laptop in both extreme and performance extreme Extreme Performance and balance modes a lot of modes let's get into it guys foreign foreign foreign s really do speak for themselves guys the gt77 is fast as hell it takes gaming on a somewhat portable laptop to a whole new level and when you combine that with real world results this is one of if not the fastest laptop that you can buy right now but there's just more to this than just a bunch of hype because everything we've seen here is impressive and yet you have to take it with a grain of salt because this is one device that's been hand-picked by Intel and Nvidia to Showcase what's possible in an absolute best case scenario with the CPU and GPU being fed with almost ridiculous amounts of power in fact it's just so much power than what most other new laptops will offer so unlike in the desktop space where you can pretty much guarantee a processor or graphics card will perform pretty close to Benchmark results that doesn't necessarily happen with laptops because only a handful of devices will come anywhere close to hitting this kind of performance and most with the exact same CPU and GPU combo will probably be a whole lot slower since they will be power or temperature limited either way it's still great to see what the fastest laptop around can actually do right now and honestly I can't wait to see what the rest of the year is going to be like for gaming laptops especially with stuff coming from Razer Asus Acer I think it's going to be a great year for competition on that note thanks so much for watching I hope you're able to take away everything that you needed to know about Intel's new 13 gen a check series CPU and paired with nvidia's Crazy Fast 4090 laptop GPU are you guys seriously impressed with this performance channel in the comments on eBay with Hardware connects and I'll talk to you guys in the next one and uh don't forget to spend responsiblyguys not too long ago I showed you some of the fastest gaming laptops from
