Schenker XMG Core 15 M22 in review: Gaming midrange with water connection

Schenker has made it its goal to deliver a strong upper mid-range gaming laptop with the XMG Core 15 (M22). Thus, this not only offers the maximum 140 W TGP of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 including the MUX switch, but also a fast AMD Ryzen 7 6800H.
You get a 165 Hz fast WQHD panel as well as the support of an external water cooling, which is otherwise only used in Schenker's absolute upper class, which we have seen for example in the XMG Neo 15, which we have already tested in detail. All of this is available for 1,817 Euros (~$1935). The Core 15 ranks between Apex 15 and Neo 15.
There is plenty of competition in the mid-range segment, for example Asus' TUF Gaming F15, Lenovo's Legion 5 and the Alienware m15. XMG's own Fusion 15 is also interesting for our comparison.
The Core 15's case has basically remained the same, so you can read about the details and the input devices in our Review of the predecessor model.

Features: water port, but no USB4 & USB-C-PD
Compared to the predecessor, the port for the external XMG Oasis water cooling is an interesting and useful innovation. The USB 2.0 port on the left side gives way to a faster USB-A 3.2 Gen2, while we still miss USB4 and charging via USB-C.

Display: WQHD 165 Hz with fast response times
Schenker offers two display options for the XMG Core 15: FHD 144 Hz with 300 cd/m² and 90% sRGB as well as the WQHD panel (2,560 x 1,440) installed in the tested device with 165 Hz (83-165 Hz dynamic), specified 350 cd/m² and 95% sRGB. The brightness specification of the matte 16:9 display is exceeded with an average of 371 cd/m². The Legion 5 Pro is brighter with 500 cd/m², which is useful in outdoor use.
Contrast and black level are on a good level with 1,145:1 and 0.32 cd/m², respectively, while the illumination is pretty even. The white value of 5,841K is a bit away from the optimum (6,500K).
The response times are short to very short with 16 ms (GtG) as well as 7.6 ms (BtW), while only the Alienware m15 achieves a significant advantage in this area. We could not determine any PWM flickering.

* ... smaller is better
The sRGB color space is covered by 99.3%, which enables professional image editing in the digital field. However, larger color spaces, such as DCI-P3 for video editing and AdobeRGB for the goal of professional printing of edited images, are only covered by the Alienware m15 and the HP Envy 16 cover them almost completely.
Almost all colors stay below the threshold of DeltaE 3. However, a slight red cast is visible ex-factory, which does not disappear even after our calibration. Our calibrated color profile can be downloaded here.

Performance: RTX 3060 with maximum TGP, but there are faster ones
The 15.6-inch gaming laptop is very powerful thanks to its Nvidia RTX 3060 with 140 W TGP designed for current games, there is no other GPU option. The Ryzen 7 6800H processor is also strong and is the only choice. RAM and mass storage are generous with 32 GB DDR5-4800 (maximum 64 GB) and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, respectively. Workstation tasks and video work are also completed quickly and produce very low emissions when using the external water cooling.
Test conditions
Schenker offers three power modes in the Core 15, but also individual profiles. The button to the left of the power button can be used to (de)activate a profile, which can be useful for many scenarios. Overboost allows a permanent power limit of 75 W for the CPU, 60 W in Enthusiast and 35 watts in Balanced mode. There is also the Fan Boost feature, which keeps the CPU cooler by about 5 °C with a much higher noise level.
The performance benchmarks were run in the Overboost preset, but we still recommend Enthusiast, which is basically the same performance with quieter noise. Moving the TDP sliders to 100 W only added 5 W to the power limit, while overclocking the GPU to the recommended values (see the "GPU settings" screenshot) added a few bonus percentages.
Processor
AMD's Ryzen 7 6800H is a 45 W CPU and runs permanently with 75 W in the XMG Core 15, so that a clock of 4.3 GHz for all eight cores can be maintained at about 92 °C (~198 °F). For a few seconds, 85 W is provided to the processor.
Our Cinebench R15 loop shows that the Core i7-12700H works significantly faster in the Legion 5 and TUF Gaming F15 , although XMG exploits the Ryzen 7 6800H's potential. At a 35 W power limit (balanced mode), the performance of the efficient Ryzen CPU only decreases by 20%.
In battery mode, the performance is reduced by about 25% despite Overboost.

System performance
The PCMark 10 benchmark reveals a result on the expected level for the system configuration. Everyday tasks are processed swiftly and without lags.
Web surfing is a bit faster on Intel systems due to the stronger Turbo and the single-core performance - but the difference is hardly noticeable in practice.

Mass storage
The installed Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB reaches PCIe 4.0 speeds even under permanent load, but struggles with 32 to 64 simultaneous 4K read/write processes in the XMG laptop, which is mainly relevant for servers. The same SSD is faster in the XMG Fusion 15, so its potential is not fully exploited by the Core 15.
