What is the part number for the 4K LCD panel? It usually says it in the article but is missing here

This seems to be an interesting product, I mean the size and weight is impressive, thunderbolt 3 x2, i7-10710U cpu, GTX 1650 MaxQ gpu and so is the heat management with a single fan. I simply prefer the 15.6" format, in my case, just too many sacrifices when you go below this size, soldered 16GB ram, single M.2 slot, usb 2.0 x2, 52w battery that translates in a poor autonomy. I am also distraught with so many manufacturers installing poor performing 4K screens on so many laptops these days, I wouldn't even consider casual gaming with this one. If you're willing to accept the numerous sacrifices about this laptop, good for you, but I simply cannot.

Have this laptop. The cinebench R15 results in this review are aberrant, and suggest that the laptop was reviewed in "Comfort Mode" rather than high performance/Sport Mode. The high performance mode sets PL1 to 35W, which the laptop should handle OOTB, and allows for sustained R15 scores of roughly 900-950 (35W is tight, repaste is a good idea. Also you can bypass PL1 in BIOS (Google GS65 IMON Slope), so with e.g LM you can get it sustaining 1150-1200 quite easily). However, it's important to note that high performance profile can push the CPU+GPU too hard, resulting in GPU thermal throttling. Therefore gaming etc may be best done in the "Balanced" profile (or Comfort Mode) to avoid this (or you can use Conductonaut and glue in another heatpipe).

Does anyone have brightness measurements of the 1080p screen?

Quote from: weeeeeeeee on February 20, 2020, 16:28:17 Quote from: weeeeeeeee on February 20, 2020, 16:28:17 Razer has a 4 core processor which is reportedly limited to 15 W in the version with dedicated GPU (25 W otherwise). So, it's not surprising it performs rather poorly even for a 4 core processor. Cinebench is a CPU workload that works well in parallel. The version without dGPU should perform much better and should be able to close the gap significantly (given the poor results of the Prestige 14).

How is continuous Photoshop or Lightroom batch processing compared to Cinebench results?  I'm interested in whether Prestige 14 or Razer Blade Stealth 13 would perform better.  The notebookcheck Cinebench results show the Prestige 14 performing much better than the Razer.  But the Jarrod'sTech review shows the Razer performing much better with Premiere Pro video exporting.  How much of a difference between CPU and GPU acceleration usage is there between Premiere, Photoshop/Lightroom, and Cinebench? Also surprisingly, his test also shows extremely poor FPS results with the Prestige 14. youtube.com/watch?v=E3Q-UyjTgVY&t=603 Although his Cinebench R20 does confirm that the Prestige 14 performs better with it than the Razer. youtube.com/watch?v=E3Q-UyjTgVY&t=582 youtube.com/watch?v=_4WQ3_lCghA&t=429

There was a PCworld test, saying that when you stress the CPU and GPU at the same time, then the performance setting actually performs worse than the balanced power option.  Could you please do the continuous run of Cinebench again with the balanced power to see if there is any difference in throttling?  I'm also curious what undervolting will do. pcworld.com/article/3526491/msi-prestige-14-review.html?page=2
