Title: Acer Nitro 5 (Ryzen 7 2700U, Radeon RX 560X, FHD) Laptop Review
Post by: Redaktion on December 01, 2018, 19:00:00
While Intel and Nvidia still call the shots in the high-end segment, AMD is quite well-positioned in affordable laptops. The best example is the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-42 with a Ryzen 7 2700U and Radeon RX 560X, which can be purchased for less than 1000 Euros (~$1132). Do the competitors need to shiver? We will find out!

Quotebetween 2.7 and 3.2 GHz during multi-core load are noticeably above the standard clock speed of 2.2 GHz. However, when there is also a parallel demand on the graphics card, the tools report only 1.5 GHz at times, which would mean throttling. In 3D applications, the clock speed levels out at about 2.9 GHz on average
6700HQ level? I dont get it.

I guess the throttling to 1.5 GHz occurs on stress testing with prime, as it is the case with all low power CPUs. Clock speeds at 2.9 GHz in realistic scenarios (Witcher 3) are certainly not bad.
