Synthetic Performance
The MSI Summit E14 Evo A12M is equipped with an Intel Alder Lake processor, the i7-1280P which is a P version, aimed at almost all applications, compared to the low power U or high performance H/HK/HX.
It has 6 performance cores boosting to 4.8 GHz and 8 efficiency cores at 3.6 GHz. The PL1 of the processor is 28W with a PL2 at 64W.
Cinebench R20 and R23
On cinebench R20, the 1280P scores 3944 points in multi-core and 658 points in single-core.
With the R23 version, we are on 11301 points in multi-core and 1797 points in single-core.
On both benchmarks, we are far from the performance obtained on the MSI Stealth 17M. This is certainly due to the throttle cpu which lowers the frequency to less than 3Ghz on the Pcore and 2Ghz on the Ecore.
Geekbench 5
In geekbench 5, the processor climbs to 1689 points in single-core and 9598 points in multi-core. Here too, we note a gap, especially in multi-core performance.
3DMark CPU
In 3Dmark CPU, we are looking at 907 points in single-core and 6276 in multi-core.
AIDA64
In terms of RAM and latency, the LPDDR5-4800 in gear 2 is over 109 ns. The proposed data rates are around 67 GB/s for writing, reading and copying. This is better than the Stealth 17M which had 115.6 ns and 38 GB/s. Apart from the very high latency, the processor performs very well despite the inadequate thermal solution. The CPU will not have any trouble performing all the tasks it is asked to do.
3DMark Fire Strike
On Fire Strike and Fire Strike Extreme, the IGP performs more than three times worse than the RTX3060. We’re clearly not on a machine made for heavy 3D tasks.
3DMark Time Spy
Then, Time Spy and Time Spy Extreme the gap widens even more compared to Nvidia RTX or AMD Radeon solutions. In contrast to the very good CPU performance, the graphics part does not keep up with the heavy 3D tasks. It remains to be seen whether the trend is reversed in games.
