Workstation

Game without compromise! XMG SECTOR is the name given to this cutting-edge gaming computer. In this review, we will be taking a closer look at and examining the performance of a high-end configuration with an Intel Core i9-13900K and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090.

230 W AC adapter is not enough. The fully configured US$9000 ThinkPad P16 G1 is one helluva workstation in terms of raw performance. On the other hand, it's also one of the loudest, warmest, and most power hungry of them all.

The gray fox. With its ThinkPad P workstation line, Lenovo has given the 2022 model a decent makeover: Instead of two models, there is now only a classic workstation in the form of the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 G1. It succeeds the ThinkPad P15 G2 and P17 G2.

Well cooled: Even for a workstation with a 16-inch screen, the Asus ExpertBook B6 Flip is quite big and heavy. But an efficient cooling system inside the convertible easily dissipates the 140 watts of waste heat generated by the Intel Core i9-12950HX and Nvidia RTX A2000.

BIOS updates improve the performance. After our review of the ZBook Firefly 14 G9, HP released updates to improve the performance. However, further updates were released a short time later, in which the CPU performance was again somewhat reduced. We, therefore, review the performance of the compact workstation once again.

Alder Lake and RTX A2000. With the ZBook Power 15, HP offers a mobile workstation in the entry-level segment. In addition to the current Alder Lake CPUs, professional GPUs from Nvidia are also used, but only chips up to the RTX A2000.

A Love(lace)ly beast nonpareil. The RTX 4090 is a flagship GPU based on Nvidia's new AD102 Ada Lovelace architecture. While the fundamentals are similar to that of Ampere, Nvidia is offering amped-up clocks and core counts, new Tensor and RT core technologies, and an efficient TSMC custom 4N process all of which aim to make the RTX 4090 the undisputed chart leader for a long time to come. We put the RTX 4090 through the paces to see exactly how much horsepower you can get for US$1,599.

Nvidia Studio instead of GeForce. With the CreatorPro Z16P, MSI specifically targets customers who need professional graphics cards together with their drivers. Like the regular Creator Z16P with a GeForce GPU, the 16-inch device offers fast components but also has to struggle with some temperature problems.

Nvidia RTX A2000 and Alder Lake i7. For the ninth generation of its ZBook Studio mobile workstation, HP is using a larger 16-inch display in the 16:10 form factor, and the DreamColor screen now runs at 120 Hz. A Core i7-12800H and the professional Nvidia RTX A2000 provide sufficient performance.

Nvidia T550 in 14 inches. HP's ZBook Firefly 14 G9 mobile workstation wants to offer a lot of performance in a compact package. However, the result is quite disappointing especially in terms of CPU performance since Intel's Alder Lake chip is throttled heavily. Update: Massive performance improvements after system updates

Alder Lake-U with 12 watts. With the latest ZBook Firefly 16 G9, HP's mobile workstation is available in the 16-inch form factor for the first time and combines an Alder Lake-U processor with the dedicated T550 GPU from Nvidia. Unfortunately, the performance of both components is lacking.

The first ever 16-inch Dell Precision. The Precision 7670 has a lot riding on its shoulders. Not only does it come in two thickness options, but it's also the first commercial product to utilize CAMM RAM and one of the few to ship with the Core i7-12850HX vPro CPU. It's good, but not without some faults.

Like an XPS 14. Just because you're small doesn't mean you can't be as powerful as the big guns. The Precision 5470 utilizes the same Core i9 CPU currently shipping on hulking gaming laptops and other workstations over twice its size, but how does it actually perform?
