Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 review: More performance without Nvidia?

Making do without Geforce. After testing the "large" Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 with a GeForce RTX 3050 and i7, we now take a look at the entry-level model. This time, the i7-11800H comes solo without dGPU. Will it be able to counter the complaint about the below-average development of the processor performance?

Would an Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 without the Nvidia graphics card perhaps be better for me as a non-gamer than the dGPU version? We acquired an Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 MHJ8F with an i7-11800H, 16 GB of RAM, and 512-GB SSD to answer exactly this question. In the test of the Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 with RTX, our colleagues had complained about the below-average performance development of the processor. So does the Core i7 now have more headroom in terms of the cooling? Is the heat development perhaps lower or the battery life longer? We find out the answers in this test.

Our test unit also uses the 3K AU Optronics B160QAN IPS panel, which is apparently the standard for all 7610 models. The resolution is identical to that of the MacBook Pro 16. Since the DPI turns out almost as high as in a 4K display, you might need to adjust your text scaling in order to improve readability.

Because of the identical build of the panel as in the Geforce model, the same points are also valid here: the display quality is good but not excellent, the contrast ratio is at almost 1400:1, the DeltaE deviations are low, and sRGB is covered - but not the Adobe color space. The Inspiron 16 distinguishes itself with its slow response times from 16-inch gaming laptops such as the Legion 5 Pro, which offers significantly faster response times. Compared to the competitors, the brightness is moderate, but evenly distributed. There is no PWM.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
32 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 15 ms rise
↘ 17 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 84 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
54 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 24 ms rise
↘ 30 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 89 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17900 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance

As the standard, Intel's Tiger Lake H CPUs (11400H, 11800H) and optionally, a GeForce RTX 3050 or RTX 3060 are used. While our test unit does not have a dGPU, it isn't quite low-end with its 16 GB of RAM. At the time of the test, there are no AMD models.

Test Conditions

The benchmarks were run in mains operation using the highest performance profile. 

Processor

The CPU performance could be better, and the Cinebench multi-thread results fall 5 to 20% behind those of an average laptop equipped with the Core i7-11800H. The Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 without dGPU only achieves 13% more points in a single benchmark, the R15, than the identical SoC in the model with a Geforce. So it looks like the non-dGPU model does not have any thermal advantages. The single-thread performance is excellent and corresponds to our expectations on an 11800H. From the first to the third run, the R15 loop shows an advantage of the test unit, so some more thermal headroom might be possible here, allowing the clock speed to remain at a high level for several seconds longer. The Graphics Log 15 shows in detail what happens: It briefly scrapes the 4 GHz mark before dropping to to 3.6 GHz and the PL1 being lowered by 5 watts. But as already said, the i7-11800H without dGPU accompaniment only achieves better scores in the R15 and Blender benchmarks.

Prime95 log: drops to 3.0 GHz within 15 seconds, with PL1 lowered from 70 to 60 watts

System Performance

PCMark 10 in battery operation, Performance mode
PCMark 10 in battery operation, Performance mode

The PCMark score suffers from the lack of the Geforce, and we see a 25 to 50% difference in the sub scores. However, this is not the case with the Essentials, which turn out even higher than with the dGPU. In battery operation, the performance drops slightly but not by much.

DPC Latencies

When opening our homepage in several tabs or while running Prime95, LatencyMon reports some problematic DPC latencies. The reproduction of a 4K video also doesn't work completely seamlessly, with 37 frames being dropped while running the 60-second video. The reason lies in the Kernel and ACPI driver.

Storage Solution - An internal drive

Our 7610 model is equipped with the unusual Kingston OM3PDP3-AD NVMe SSD. With up to half the performance of the Micron 2300 in the XPS 15 9510, its speed is average at best. Since Dell gets its drives from several SSD manufacturers that include Samsung, Micron, Western Digital, Toshiba, and apparently also Kingston, it is difficult to predict which drive an Inspiron laptop available from vendors will be equipped with.
Note: While you can insert up to two internal drives, at least one of them has to have the smaller 2230 format.

GPU-Z Intel UHD Xe (32 EUs)

There is no question about it, but the Intel UHD Xe (32 EUs) doesn't bring a lot of performance, which is confirmed by all the benchmarks. The RTX-equipped Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 is 500% ahead, and in games, between 250 and almost 500%.

Those who decide for the iGPU version have to live with the fact that then the hardware support through Nvidia's CUDA cores will also be missing. This will decrease for example the rendering speed during video or image processing significantly. Smooth gameplay is only possible in some selected older games or those that are less demanding.

Emissions and Power Management - A cool Dell laptop

Noise Emissions

The fans of the Inspiron 16 succeed in remaining silent or at least very quiet for a long time. With the best power savings mode, the fans almost never turn on. In Balanced mode, the two fans run sporadically for a few seconds. Both these statements concern idle operation. It is striking that load will not cause an immediate revving of the fans but only a very delayed response, even in Performance mode. In 3DMark, for example, they only become noticeable after about 40 seconds. As soon as their speed increases, at 49 dB(A), the laptop quickly becomes similarly loud as gaming laptops. The maximum value is identical to that of the Nvidia version of the laptop, the fan characteristics are identical.

Temperature

Despite the sluggish fans, the surface temperatures are not high, ranging around 29 ºC (~84 ºF) on average. The dGPU model has a 3-ºC (~5 ºF) higher average, but only on the bottom. As to be expected, there is a significant difference under load: In the hotspot at the bottom, the Geforce model is around 10 ºC (~18 ºF) warmer than the iGPU version.

Under load from Prime95, the clock speed increases to 4.3 GHz for one or two seconds, after which a core temperature of 90 °C (194 °F) is reached. The clock speed then drops into the 2.8 to 3.0-GHz range, in order to maintain a temperature of around 90 °C (194 °F). The difference is that the dGPU model tries to maintain 83 °C (181 °F), leveling out in the 2.4 to 3.2-GHz range.

Power Management

Power Consumption

During idle operation, the laptop uses slightly more than 5 watts at the lowest brightness level and in the most power-saving performance profile. The maximum during idle is at 14 watts, which is a moderate value. In similar scenarios, the LG Gram 16 consumes only between 4 and 11 watts. The corresponding Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 with Geforce consumes between 8 and 17 watts despite its dGPU being turned off by the Optimus switching.  

Under load, the differences are naturally huge. Under extremely high load, we measured a maximum consumption of just 76 watts at the 130-Watt power supply. As the chart below shows, the iGPU model is able to consume more power (stress test with Prime95 and Furmark), reaching 100 watts. During the stress test, it levels out at 90 watts. Running The Witcher 3 Ultra, it ranges around an average of 44 watts.

Battery Life

The difference in the battery life of the iGPU and dGPU versions is only marginal in the WiFi test, and the Geforce model lasts even a few minutes longer here. On the other hand, under load the iGPU model is able to last for 50 more minutes (Battery Eater Classic). The iGPU model also wins in terms of the idle battery life, and a plus of 120 minutes allows the test unit to last for 22:30 hours. However, this value isn't really realistic, since it is measured at minimal brightness and in the Airplane mode. The 86 Wh are identical in both models.

Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 - test unit provided by Cyberport

The Inspiron 16 is a laptop to show off: The heavy metal case communicates a haptic quality that comes close to that of the more expensive XPS 15. The bezels are slim, and the connection equipment is extensive. Maintenance turns out to be easy, and the matte 3K display perfectly tops off the whole package. 

In the performance, things don't look quite as good. Compared to similarly or almost similarly equipped competitors, the CPU is slower than expected, which is also the case with the iGPU model. However, our test unit was able to catch up slightly in terms of points, which means that it initially computed faster than the version with the Nvidia graphics chip. 

While the Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 shares the advantages of its sibling model, it foregoes the performance of the Geforce graphics. This brings a longer battery life, lower power consumption, and a cooler case. 

Those who feel enthusiastic about the Inspiron 16 Plus 7610 in general but are considering whether the more affordable iGPU version is sufficient should understand this: There is no difference in the WiFi battery life, which is the most realistic measurement in practice. However, the test unit lasts longer during idle operation or under constant load. Its operation is more efficient, and it does not warm up as much under load. So those who are looking for a 16-inch office companion with a good 3K display won't be disappointed by the Inspiron 16 Plus 7610.

Currently, the price difference between our iGPU test unit (1200 Euros = ~$1348, i7, 512 GB, 16 GB, shop version) and the most affordable Geforce version with an RTX 3050 but otherwise similar equipment is 200 Euros (~$225). If you pick the i5, it is only a 50-Euro difference (~$56). 

A more powerful and affordable alternative to the Dell is the Legion 5 Pro from Lenovo, which scores with a more powerful Ryzen 5000H and already includes an RTX 3050 Ti together with a 165-Hz display for 1300 Euros (~$1461). The LG Gramm 16 places the focus on low weight and a considerably longer battery life at a lower performance. Those for whom all these are too expensive can take a look at the 17-inch Acer Aspire 5 A517. For barely 800 Euros (~$899), you get less display and a lower performance than with the iGPU Dell, but an entry-level dGPU instead. 

Price and Availability

The test unit configured with a i7-11800H, 16 GB RAM, and 512-GB SSD is currently available from Dell for $999.
