Acer Swift 3 SF314 in review: No flight of fancy for the AMD laptop

Whisper quiet & economical. AMD-equipped subnotebooks are often more powerful than corresponding Intel variants today. We take a look at the Acer Swift 3, the current entry-level model with a Ryzen 5 5500U and an integrated graphics card. The processor seems like a good choice but is it also convincing in practice?

Lightweight 1.3 kilogram 14-incher with good run times, but with only moderate computing power

The Swift 3 is Acer's bread-and-butter laptop — an inexpensive model whose entry-level variant is available for 530 Euros (~$530). Accordingly, we have tested many Swift models in the past, especially Intel variants and high-end solutions like the Swift X with GTX 1650 Mobile and the Swift 3X with an Intel Iris Xe MAX dGPU.

Today's update is about one of the smallest notebooks in the Swift lineup, the 1.3 kg-light SF314-43 with a Ryzen 5 5500U, 16 GB RAM, and a 512 GB SSD. To achieve the lowest possible price, retailers ship the model with Linux (eShell). We installed Windows 11 for which a small partition also had the necessary drivers.

Due to the platform strategy, where one chassis is used for technically different variants, it is such that we already have the case, the input devices, and the ports from the Swift X SFX14 (GTX 1650) and from the Intel counterpart Swift 3 SF314-511. We will, therefore, skip these chapters and refer you to the corresponding reviews.

Equipment: MediaTek Wi-Fi is too slow

The ports are identical to those of the Swift X. Unfortunately, the bad Wi-Fi performance is also identical to that of the Swift X. The download speed seems like a disaster, which was the same issue with the Swift X as well. The transfer speeds determined under optimal conditions (no other WLAN devices in the near vicinity, one meter distance between the laptop and server PC) turn out to be very abysmal with just around 182 MBit/s (several random samples).

When transmitting, however, the MediaTek Wi-Fi chip is much faster at around 871 MBit/s. This is a good result although not really exhilarating. The discrepancy between sending and receiving speeds indicates a driver problem, which we assume can be remedied with a driver update in the future.

However, the question does arise as to where the antennas are installed in the all-around closed aluminum lid? That being said, this cannot be the reason for the poor scores as otherwise the uploads would also be identically low.

Maintenance

The Swift 3's WLAN card can be upgraded. The SSD can also be swapped for a larger model later. There is no second M.2 slot like in the Swift X. The working memory is soldered.

Upgrading made easy, but Mini-Torx must be.

Display: Acer screen glows too weakly

While the Swift X SFX14-41G and Swift 3 SF314-511 are equipped with AUO panels (B140HAN06) that deliver excellent performance in our tests, our present model relies on a Chi-Mei screen (N140HCA EAC CMN). This seems to be a worse choice because the sRGB space is no longer fully covered and the brightness is also lower. However, the differences in contrast are negligible.

The brightness perceivably increases towards the center of the screen, but there's no visible backlight bleeding. The luminance in battery mode remains unchanged as long as AMD Vari Bright is disabled in the Radeon settings.

One negative aspect here is that the display uses PWM to reduce the brightness when the brightness is 20% and low. That being said, the high frequency of 25,000 Hz should not strain the eyes. Moreover, most users would find it difficult to work on the screen at such low brightness, because 20% is simply too dark even indoors.

* ... smaller is better

The AdobeRGB (45%) and sRGB (65%) color spaces are not completely reproduced.

The screen shows quite a decent color reproduction in its state of delivery. However, with a Delta E 2000 color deviation of 3.6, the target (Delta E less than 3) is just missed. The display does not suffer from a blue cast. The grayscale Delta E is 2.9. A calibration did not bring about an improvement — the Chi-Mei panel is apparently difficult to calibrate. The AUO panels of the Swift X (AMD) or Swift 3 SF314-511 (Intel) could improve their color reproduction through calibration.

Display Response Times

ℹ

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
26 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 12 ms rise
26 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 14 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 56 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.9 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
37 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 18 ms rise
37 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 19 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 45 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (34.6 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

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 detected

25000 Hz

≤ 20 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 25000 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 20 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 25000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 54 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19003 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The Swift 3 comes with an IPS panel with stable viewing angles. Thus, the screen can be read from every position. The screen's low maximum brightness largely prevents reading in the sun. If you don't deactivate Vari Bright, you'll lose a good amount of luminance. This 14-incher is primarily made for indoor use. At least, the matte surface ensures minimal reflections.

For maximum brightness, Vari Bright must be disabled.

Performance: No AMD high-flyer this time

The Radeon graphics is integrated in the AMD APU (iGPU).

Available AMD configurations for the Swift 3 include ones based on the Ryzen 5 5500U, 5700U and 5300U. The AMD models are offered with 8 or 16 GB of RAM. The choice should be considered carefully because the working memory cannot be changed or upgraded as it is soldered. The same applies to the SSD, which is offered from 256 GB to 1 TB. The hard drive is plugged in, but a second M.2 socket — like on the Swift X — is not available.

The RAM works as dual channel, which tickles out a bit more performance when gaming. We feel that our test variant with the Ryzen 5 5500U, 512 GB SSD, and 16 GB RAM offers the best price-performance ratio.

Test conditions

We installed Windows after removing Linux eShell. Thus, only the power management of Windows was available. This was set to "Best performance" for the performance tests and to "Best energy savings" during the endurance tests.

Processor

The Ryzen 5 5500U clocks up to 3.9 GHz in the Swift 3. This six-core from the beginning of 2021 has good computing performance but has to admit defeat to Intel's 11th generation processors in single-core. The Ryzen always beats Intel rivals from the Core i5 to Core i7 in multi-core. However, the Ryzen 5 5500U of the review sample is just below its own average from the database in many benchmarks although the difference of -1% is marginal.

The CPU performance depends on the set TDP and the cooling. We see a maximum of 45 W as CPU package power during the Cinebench measurements, which should correspond to the PL2/Short Burst. However, this can only be maintained for a few seconds after which it continues at 22 W (3.2 instead of 3.9 GHz). This level is then maintained from the first to the last loop, apart from a few clock peaks during the course of the test. The performance does not decrease in battery mode as evident in the last 5 minutes of the R15 loop run in battery power.

Due to the extremely short PL2 usage and the drastic limitation to just 22 W, the results of the R15 loop almost look like a straight line without deviations. Here, Acer has opted for a very conservative TDP approach in favor of waste heat and low noise, which does not extract the last ounce of performance from the APU unlike what we've seen with the Lenovo ThinkPad E14 G3. How the Swift 3 would perform with a dual heatpipe setup is shown by its sister Swift X SFX14 (R5 5500U), which can maintain high performance (PL2) for 4 to 5 runs and is therefore 12% faster in the first run.

System performance

The application performance is, therefore, a bit worse than a Lenovo ThinkPad E14 G3, for example, which is able to extract more performance out of the R5 5500U. Productivity and Essentials tests in PCMark 10 suffer especially. In contrast, the test device is quite ahead in Digital Content Creation, which could be due to the fast dual-channel working memory (see AIDA64 tests) and the low latency. The Kingston SSD does not have a positive effect here; it is only moderately fast.

Mass storage

Kingston OM8PDP3512B with 512 GB in M.2 80, 3.5 GB are available as Windriver partition

The Kingston solid-state storage with a gross capacity of 512 GB is the middle one among Acer's configurations. There is no second M.2 slot for expansion. The Kingston drive struggles in the midfield. We find the Samsung PM9A1 SSD in the Swift 3 SF314-511 (Intel, iGPU) to be very fast. Note: Manufacturers can equip devices of the same type with different SSDs; there is no guarantee that you will get a WDC, a Micron, a Kingston or a Samsung.

Performance of other mass storage devices in our tests can be seen in our HDD/SSD benchmark tables.
