Huawei MateBook D 15: Other manufacturers have something to learn from Huawei

When choosing a notebook, the CPU performance plays an important role. However, these days it is not easy to tell whether this or that CPU will provide a boost in performance just by looking at the processor number. Generic benchmarks allow users to make only a superficial determination, but the true level of performance under sustained load can only be revealed during an extended stress test. 

In our Cinebench R15 stress test, the CPU has to run the multi-core Cinebench benchmark 50 times in a continuous loop. In most cases, the performance drops by 20 percent or more after the first or the second benchmark run. It often happens that users with the next-lower CPU variant get a higher level of performance than users with a more powerful chip. This happens because manufacturers use the same cooling solution with both chips, and more powerful processor usually produce more heat and therefore have to throttle down harder in order to keep within the operating temperature range.
