The 2022 Dell G16 (7620) was the company’s first 16-inch laptop upon release. With the notebook, Dell took the familiar G15 chassis and made it bigger to accommodate a larger 16-inch display, 12th gen Intel Alder Lake processors, and RTX 30 GPUs. The configuration we are interested in boasts a Core i9-12900H CPU, an RTX 3070 laptop GPU, 16 GB of DDR5-4800 memory, a 1 TB PCIe NVMe SSD, and a 16-inch 2560x1600 resolution display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 165 Hz refresh rate.
When we tested the 2022 Dell G16 (7620) with a Core i7-12700H and an RTX 3060 mobile, we found the device to perform very well. The combination of the 12th gen Core i7 and a 130 W RTX 3060 ensured that, in almost all the benchmarked games, the Dell G16 managed more than 60 FPS at 1080p resolution with High/Ultra graphical settings. Since the Dell G16 model on sale packs a Core i9-12900H and an RTX 3070, we can expect the performance of the notebook to be noticeably better than our review config.
For instance, the RTX 3070 laptop GPU is, on average, 15% faster than the RTX 3060 in the 3DMark TimeSpy Graphics benchmark according to our numbers.
Long story short, the Dell G16 (7620) impressed us with its rigid chassis, strong CPU and GPU performance, and upgradability, prompting us to give the machine a good rating of 86%.
