we have the insane Rog flow z13 right here with the insane AMD ryzen AI Max Plus 395 I had to read it off and this is the Apple silicon Moment 4 AMD we are going to see how it compares to the M4 Pro because this Apu is absolutely mindblowing Asus did send this out for us to test that is not a sponsored video so let's go ahead and compare these now as you guys can see this thing is big basically a tablet you can detach the keyboard you have a kickstand on the back and so if you want to see a comparison to the M4 iPad Pro let us know but we had to bust out the M4 Pro because of how powerful it is now Asus does call it a gaming laptop you have a lot of power feeding into it but even though this has dual fans as Vapor chamber cooling it does not need a dedicated graphics card now the screen is a 2.5k display 180 HZ DCI P3 color accuracy and with this you can actually get up to 128 gbes of ram in an APU so this is a crazy competitor to Apple now the M4 Pro you can get up to 64 GB only half of this you could see that the z13 is a little bit more expensive than this M4 Pro but it also comes with a terabyte of storage and it has more RAM as well so if you'd upgrade this to get more storage the price is about the same and I have to say that this thing is built incredibly well it's a full cnced aluminum body you have this really cool window where you could see uh the main board inside of there and the crazy thing is even though this a tablet you have a ton of ports we have a micro SD card slot we have USB 4 full HDMI 2.1 we have a regular USB port on the side here I mean this thing is very impressive now this video we're going to focus on performance and looking at the M4 Pro it's powerful it has a 12 core CPU High clock speeds but the AMD chip has 16 cores and 5.1 GHz top clock speed that is crazy let's go ahead and run geekbench for CPU and one thing that I'm curious about is will we still get great performance on battery power we're going to run that as well all right we have our scores and look at that the M4 core Pro is pounding above its weight as far as cores and clock speed we have 26% faster in single core score and then in terms of multi-core score it's a lot closer and we have an 11% difference now remember guys this M4 Pro just recently came out and it was the biggest jump that we have seen with the whole chip lineup in a crazy long time second generation 3 NM compared to 4 nanm so having these scores with 4 nmet designed in an all-in-one chip is very impressive now I want to test something else I know that a lot of you guys say this is a gaming laptop like it's called You're supposed to have it plugged in but I still want to test it unplugged so running The Benchmark and before that I checked all the settings and here in Armory crate you guys could see that if you're on battery power you can't go into the full Max performance in fan mode that's only if you're plugged in so with this chip if you did have it in a full-size gaming laptop you'd have more thermal head room and you could probably get more performance out of it than in this tablet form factor and look at that I mean that is a pretty big drop off in performance on the multicore score we went from a difference of 11% to now 54% difference and I really wish they would let us have the full performance mode on battery I know it's to save battery power but right now it is not available you know maybe maybe it could get changed in the future or some way to enable it uh but for now if you're trying to do high performance tasks you definitely want to plug this thing in and now let's compare the graphics performance we have 16 cores here compared to 40 compute cores of course this is a x86 processor still and I'm going to run metal versus opencl the founder of geekbench said it is comparable so let's see and here are the scores we have a crazy 100,000 score on the the MacBook compared to 83,500 about 19% difference for this compute test and now we're going to run 3D Mark's new steel Nomad light in unlimited mode to test out gaming performance because like I said this is an x86 laptop so you do have full support for all sorts of games without any limitations and look at that guys we have an impressive 63.3 4 FPS compared to 49.8 that's a difference of over 27% and it makes me wonder is this score even higher than the unbended version and then of course you have maximum compatibility with games without any translation layers and now let's really push these CPUs I have cin bench opened up right here we're going to do the stress test and we're going to look at the temperatures as well so let me open up MSI Center here and we have MX power Gap budget and it looks like we're running at about 3.1 3.2 we saw 4.7 gigs but with all those cores being maxed out it does run at a lower clock speed just like the M4 Pro this is running at 3.9 so even though the P clock speeds are higher on the AMD chip the sustained is actually lower and one really interesting thing is that we're running at only 81° C and I actually hear the Mac louder in terms of fans than this thing this actually peaked at 108° C it's running at about 95 right now um that's the average actually the highest one 102 so that is pretty crazy it sounds like this thing is not using that much power it's not pushing the wattage that high on this chip so I think a theory on having in a larger device definitely stands that this chip has a lot more performance in it and now we have our thermal camera let's take a look at the temps after 8 minutes you guys see the exhaust fence right there 46 I saw and then where the chip is 42.7 43 right there let's take a look at the Asus exhaust about 42 and just slightly lower temperatures on this thing at least with the air and what's inside but then taking a look at our screen right here 82° C still inside that chip and that's showing us that is doing a great job getting all the heat out of the Chip And Out With the airf Flow and my goodness guys the test just finished and the Asus with AMD actually beat out the M4 Pro even though it ran between 80 to 82° Celsius the whole time it was quieter there's more power that could be pushed but that is insane 13 81 compared to 1318 wow so if you're really pushing the CPU hard instead of just quick little tasks it is a Powerhouse but what about simple tasks you do every day like web browsing let's run speedometer 3.0 and looking at these scores I mean that is a big difference and that is because of the single core performance where the M4 it is just Untouchable that series of ships is so fast but with that said let's go ahead and open up f for some web design and this is a project brought To Us by 500 designs one of the best design studios in California you guys can see we have a lot of files here I'm going to go ahead and do a smoothness test so let's go ahead and zoom in right over here of course them4 nice and smooth you guys saw how quick that loaded up let's match up the same spot very quick to zoom and that might have been even more quick I didn't even see the low reses version so I mean moving around definitely very very nice very fast loading and now we have these 12 high resolution layers selected and we are going to go ahead and Export these and time them and wow guys I was not expecting this the MacBook took a minute 14 seconds and the Asus with AMD took a minute and 15 seconds I was expecting a minute 35 minute 45 for an x86 laptop which has slower single core performance this is incredible I think it's beating out a lot of the brand new chips from its competitors both x86 and arm chips that is very very impressive and for this next test it's going to get really interesting because I have blender open right here and we're going through the settings for graphics rendering and obviously you can't use Cuda no Nvidia can't use optx for the r tracing cores no Nvidia this also isn't working so we have hiip there's also this experimental uh feature you can run but with this AP you can also change the amount of ram that goes to video uh and how much goes to the system so right now we have it set to 8 gigs but we're going to run two tests one eight and another we're going to kick it up to see how much of a difference we get so let's go ahead and test this so we have a results here and honestly I am very impressed cuz I was not expecting this I know the MacBook is very fast with the M4 Pro chip it's had a lot of optimizations this took 43 seconds. 6 on our second run with this thing I tried out all the different options so having just a GP with experimental rate tracing features got us 55 seconds very close to the Mac I was expecting minute and a half 2 minutes because unlike Nvidia which has a lot of optimizations this is their brand new chip and it can't use that technology so so it should be getting better in the future but now I'm going to go ahead and change our Ram settings if you guys look in here we have the variable Graphics memory or you could set it to custom and we're going to go ahead and Swap this to 16 you can go all the way to 24 we want enough for the system let's hit apply we have to do a restart here and I want to remind you guys that you can get up to 128 gigs in this system so you can have 64 gig for graphics 64 gig for your system um or maybe even more so than 64 for the graphics and that is going to give a lot of capabilities for high resolution files all right guys we ran this again and it looks like the score stayed the same uh that just means that this particular render doesn't need more than 8 GB of memory but if you're working on more complex things uh or llms or other tasks where you need more vram it's awesome to be able to have that flexibility and now with those real World performance test doing surprisingly well on the AMD where some of the benchmarks were lower I have a Lightroom classic opened up right here I have 500 highresolution raw images that are edited and this is going to use both the CPU and the graphics and the memory it is just a really tough test we're pushing everything let's go ahead and Export these I'm going to start my timer here and CU we have 500 it also tests out throttling as well now running this test I'm taking a look at what is happening here and on the Mac we're using 80% CPU 100% GPU so it's very GPU heavy optimized here we're using almost max out pretty much maxed out CPU the graphics isn't used very much so I'm not sure if there needs to be more optimization um instead of using the Nvidia ones and our Ram we have it set 1616 so Ram's maxed out here too so it might be better to actually swap it to more RAM for the CPU task but with that said at the start the Mac was flying but now this thing is starting to catch up and now guys we're almost done here and I'm surprised even though this was so behind they're about to finish very closely oh my goodness no way it finished oh my goodness the aces took 6 minutes and 13 seconds compared to 6 minutes and 16 seconds on the M4 Pro MacBook honestly once again I was not expecting this I thought we've had years of optimization with Lightroom working so well with metal and these chips this one right here we still had it in the 16 gig mode only for the CPU and more of CPUs is being used GPU wasn't being used that much surprisingly it started out slower but then it caught up that was incredible for performance this good I mean it's being marketed as a gaming machine but for real world work it is incredibly fast all right guys and now I'm running the test again but we switched over to have 24 Gigs available for the CPU right away you guys could see we're using 17.5 gigs right now um so more than the previous cap that we had so it is helpful and it's running getting close to being done so we'll see what the final time is going to be but it is very useful to have that flexibility instead of normal apus where you just have a small amount with weak graphics and look at this guys 5 minutes 19 seconds we just shaved off about a minute just by allocating a little bit more RAM to the CPU so with this machine we had 616 519 right now with this this actually beats out the unbinned M4 Pro that you would get in a 16in machine or if you pay the extra money on this uh that got 524 and we still using barely any graphics I feel like there's a lot more optimization that can happen for this GPU wow guys this is crazy usually with a lot of Windows machines with previous Intel machines what we would see is the benchmarks could be high your basic benchmarks but then in the real world the Mac would Smash and Destroy um the higher performance machines but this AMD Apu even though it's still x864 nmet is performing really well with very low temps and I'm sure this same chip in other machines that have you know a little bit more thickness can perform even better just call me impressed I know V's very impressed over there on the camera insanity this is awesome you guys let me know your thoughts down below but for us when we're seeing a chip like this an APU that is finally has very good performance has a lot of ram capability flexibility this just shows that you know give it a couple more years this is going to get better and apple finally has some really good competition with chips that don't need dedicated graphics chips that are running cool well a lot cooler in this instance that are on thin and light machines before it's like do you want a thin and light that's not as performance especially in terms of Graphics or do you want a thicker heavier laptop with a dedicated GPU that sucks a lot of power now you have it in one you can play a bunch of games with good graphic settings um and you have a thin and light tablet that is crazy now you guys let us know if you want to see the iPad comparison if you're interested in that cuz this is a laptop it's an tablet compared to just the laptop here I'm very very impressed so good job AMD you guys are killing it Asus good job on this machine beautiful design great tablet allinone that's capable not just for gaming for really good high-end productivity this thing is really cool so once again let us know your thoughts down below click that Circle above to subscribe check out one of those great videos right over there this has been Max and I'll see you in the next one [Music]
