ASUS ROG Strix Hero II GL504GM Laptop Review

CPU & SSD Performance:

CrystalDiskMark tests the raw speed of a storage device. It uses a test file to write data to or read data from the drive. We test using the default 1GB file size.

The CrystalDiskMark results show that the 256GB M.2 drive has a decent read and write speed. It's not the fastest we have seen but it easily outperforms the SSD in the similar MSI GE63 Raider laptop. The speeds coming from the 1TB hard drive are a little disappointing but it is only a 2.5in HDD after all and still provides a solid 1TB of storage for your media/games collection.

Cinebench R15 is a cross-platform testing suite that measures CPU performance. We compare the ROG Strix Hero II with some other laptops we have tested that feature the same processor for a quick comparison to demonstrate its relative performance.

The Asus ROG Strix Hero II gets a high Cinebench score compared to other laptops we have tested with the i7-8750H. This is because it can maintain its boost clock speed of 3.9GHz throughout the test.

Looping Cinebench 10+ times does eventually heat up the CPU and the score will drop down to 1097. But this is still a pretty good score that shows that the rendering performance in this laptop is among the best when compared to similar machines.
