PCSpecialist Helio Ultra Review (9700X + 4070S)

The Ryzen 7 9700X CPU found in the Helio Ultra recorded a Cinebench R23 multicore benchmark result of 19,594 points, landing it very close to the result of the previous generation Ryzen 7 7700X, albeit, doing so using much less power at 77W when compared to the 135W used by the Zen 4 chip.

Results improve drastically when moving into single core performance, with the Ryzen 7 9700X recording a very impressive 2228 points, putting it firmly amongst the results from previously tested 13th and 14th generation Intel processors.

3D Mark Time Spy shows a solid GPU score of 20,815 points, making the Gigabyte RTX 4070 Super Aero OC graphics card the best performing RTX 4070 Super I have tested. The CPU didn't break any records but still managed a respectable 13,901 points.

The memory found in the Helio Ultra is 32GB (2x16GB) of Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 running at 6400MT/s – This shows in our AIDA64 memory benchmark, with speeds that will easily handle gaming and most work scenarios.

Finally, PC Mark 10 highlights the systems overall capabilities. The content creation category is the clear leader thanks to the dedicated graphics card and ‘gaming' design of the system.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
