With the intel's 14nm skylake finally coming last year, although the desktop platform has nothing new, but in the mobile platform, intel still throw out a lot of things that brighten up - for example, the first four-core and four-thread mobile Version i5 cpu.
While MSI, as a big DIY brand that has been making all-out efforts in gaming business in notebooks, is not surprised to take advantage of this new i5. Equipped with a quad-core four-threaded i5 can bring another cost-effective good things to the game - take a look at what MSI GL62 can give us a answer.
Appearance and appearance:
The GL62 is a 15.6-inch book. Although it is generally considered a large book, it is still acceptable.
The 15.6-inch book mostly uses the primary key + keypad area, and the GL62 is no exception.
The style of the MSI notebook has always been maintained on the top cover. The MSI logo of the MSI star is printed on the top cover. However, this logo cannot be made to glow. It is just a close-up sign - but it should be said that the book is not expensive. However, it is exaggerating to be a bit simple.
Close-up of a keyboard. The keyboard is also from the steelseries. The GL72 that presses on the touch and higher is similar and has a certain key range, so the entire hit feel is still quite good. However, there is no backlight, and it may have something to do with its pricing parity.
Full feature tags, GTX950M, sound acceleration, accelerated cooling, USB3.0 interface, Sairui keyboard, and so on. The features used on high-end machines are not significantly reduced on the GL62. Sincerity is enough.
In addition to power above the buttons, there are fan full-speed keys and G shortcuts. G shortcut keys can easily call up the monitoring interface. You can see all the monitoring status and you can also adjust it yourself.
At the bottom right of the keyboard is the steelseries mark, which is another sign of pedigree.
The box on the left is audio and microphone, 2 USB3.0, one USB3.1 type C, HDMI and miniDP, each one is very complete.
On the right is a USB 2.0 and card reader, as well as a power connector. The optical drive's opening is also on the right side. This is a little simpler here. A card reader is convenient for many people's daily operations.
There is nothing behind it. It is an empty cooling hole. This is different from other thicker games.
The maximum opening and closing angle is about 150 degrees.
The weight of the adapter is 2797g. In the game book, this is already a lightweight player.
Internal structure:
Now we come to the internal structure. The GL62's back cover is still relatively simple to remove. With all the screws on the back side unscrewing, the back cover can be removed to see the structure inside.
It seems to be a typical familiar mold. But compared to other heavy notebooks, it has to be streamlined internally and looks lighter.
The memory slot is 2 DDR4 slots, pre-installed 8GB, in most cases is enough.
The GL62 comes standard with a traditional hard drive, 500GB in size. The GL62 is not equipped with SSDs. It would be nice if we could have one here.
Pressing this position is the I5 6300HQ cpu, long stripe cpu appeared in today, but this is because of the reasons for the integration of the package. This cpu contains all the functions of the north and south bridge chips and the cpu itself on the main board. Therefore, no other large chips can be found on the main board.
Here is another important part - the graphics card. GTX950M graphics card appears in the notebook, performance and price have also achieved sufficient balance, but look around the memory particles, which is clearly DDR3 ah ... If these memory particles can be used as GDDR5, then the performance of the GTX950M may play More good.
Already 2016, how can the M2 be pulled down? So not far below the graphics card we can see the M2 interface SSD installation. There are only 2280 specifications, and fortunately, there are also 2280 solid-state drives in the market, which are not difficult to buy.
The upper part is the battery part. The battery is also built-in in the whole machine and cannot be disassembled.
The entire battery is made up of 6 18650 batteries. For the endurance of the 6300HQ and the support of the GTX950M, it can still be used.
The heat dissipation configuration is relatively shabby, and the heat dissipation of the CPU and the graphics card are all dissipated through the separate turbo fan. The heat pipe used for conduction is also a component, which is about 8 mm heat pipe.
Work inside and outside a word: Reliable, live hard, no lack of style.
Screen and performance, configuration:
The first is that we look at the 15.6-inch display.
As a game, this 15.6-inch screen naturally needs to display well, otherwise the wonderful game will be missed by us.
In terms of its viewing angle, it is not inferior to any high-quality display on the market.
Of course, there will still be some attenuation in the brightness of the side looking past.
In terms of configuration, this new GL62-equipped hardware is not bright at first glance;
Cpu: I5 6300HQ
Memory: 8GB DDR4 2133 single
Hard disk: 500G mechanical hard disk
Graphics card: GTX950M DDR3 2GB
The overall hardware does not look very bright, but many people may ignore this cpu, because;
It is the first 4 core 4 thread cpu of the mobile platform!
So how strong its performance should be is that we and gamers are very interested in things.
Next we will conduct some theoretical tests on the cpu:
Super pi:
Superpi's score was 12.319 seconds, and the highest speed in the test was 2.7GHz. Compared with the 47xx series of haswell and the 67xx series of skylake, the results were within about 9 seconds of 4.0GHz. This number should be said to represent a good performance, after all, superpi. Just single-threaded.
Fritzchess benchmark:
Chess testing can better reflect the multi-core computing power. The result of the test is 8787, which is not far behind the general i5. The power of the four core four threads in the performance itself is still sufficient.
Cinebench R11.5 and cinebench R15:
Both generations of Cinbench are test programs that take into account the overall capabilities of the cpu and test the performance of the cpu by simulating the 3d rendering.
In the cinebench R11.5, the performance of the i5 6300HQ is comparable to the old quad-core eight-thread i7 960, and it is already possible to compare the first-generation AMD FX. R15 species, this i5's performance has also greatly exceeded the ordinary i3, with the quad-core eight-threaded i7 about 1.6-1.7 times the gap.
However, this cpu's performance has been enough to suppress the i3 and i5 of the old models of the market cpu, and even some dual-core four-threaded i7 also have enough strength to get rid of.
The new quad-core quad-threaded i5 seems to be a big gospel for gamers.
Display performance test:
In the display performance test, 3DMARK 11 is mainly used for testing. Although it is already somewhat old, the 3d MARK 11 test still has some reference significance, especially in the case of the same series of n cards.
Test We conducted a test of p and a test of X for comparison of scores.
The p of 3dmark 11 is divided into 4691.
The score of the higher level x score is 1468.
I do not know what is the concept of this score?
Find a comparison:
Is it, probably three or four years ago popular, GTX560Ti, this card's score is about X1400-1500 points, normal public frequency. The GTX950M of the GL62 is only equipped with a DDR3 graphics card. Naturally, its performance cannot be underestimated.
However, we believe that if it can carry GDDR5 video memory, then it may have greater benefits to its play - after all, bandwidth has now dropped more than half.
Game real machine test:
We then went to the field to run several games for field testing.
Of course, given the performance of quad-core, four-thread and 950M, we still have to come up with some powerful games. During the game we will record FPS for display performance.
Call of Duty 12:
One of the annual events of the sudden outcry is yet to be staged. "Call of Duty 12: Black Action 3" is a first-person shooter game developed by Activision Blizzard's studio Treyarch. It was released on November 6, 2015. It belongs to the 12th call of Call of Duty series. The main platform of the game is from This generation of host transferred to the next generation host, the game quality has greatly improved.
The story takes place in the future. Players are members of this black special force. They lose contact with teammates in one action. The player's task is to find the team and expose the truth.
Our game-related settings are as follows. Due to hardware considerations, we did not adjust all effects to the highest.
The scene of the single-player mode is about 24 fps, and the scenery in the scene with flames and multi-layers is more complex, so from this point of view, the book's ability is enough to support.
Rubbish radiation 4
In 2015, B's community played a lot of people's attention when it did not come out. "Radiation 4" is a role-playing game developed by Bethesda and released on November 10th, 2015. It is the fourth generation of "Radiation" series of game works.
Items, character ideas, and other elements that will be seen in the game are set in Boston, Somerville, Cambridge, and Arlington after the end of the game.
The rough settings are as follows, some are set, some are high, and the overall level is above the middle level.
At the beginning of the indoor scene, the fps is 36, which is a playable category. Of course, smooth, still need some adjustment.
Alloy Equipment 5:
Infiltrate the secret battle game's highest achievement. The game will be used as a sequel to the earlier release of the game "Metal Gear 5: The Original Burst Point" and will include a multiplayer game "Gallery Gear Online 3". The game sets an overhead Cold War world. In addition to the United States and the Soviet Union, the world's pattern is also affected by a weapon called "alloy equipment." The game is based on the adventures of legendary mercenary Big Boss in Afghanistan and Africa, changing the world in the era of revenge ire and the rise of new threats.
Although the overall picture requirement is relatively low, the picture performance of MGS5 still has a good standard.
Our image settings are as shown above.
At the beginning of the game, fps is about 35 frames. It also belongs to the upper level of playability.
The performance of the new i5 6300HQ, combined with the GTX950M, created the GL62 in our hands.
Although he is not a top-notch model, there are even a lot of Tucao points in the configuration (such as DDR3 memory), but the 6300HQ still brings no small surprise. Four-core and four-threaded bring real performance advantages, or give this book a lot of light.
Speaking of the GL62's own mold, although the mold makes people familiar, the shape and the similar molds that are in line with the top ones give it a wide shape and space. Being in the interior means that there is a lot of room for each part to play, and it is not crowded at all - although there is only one heat sink, there is no obvious heat in the game.
Want to experience a new cpu but don't want to spend too much money? I think now the opportunity has come.
