MSI Crosshair 15 R6E Laptop Review (Core i7-12700H / RTX 3070)

Handbrake shows a similar trend – Ryzen competition is much faster than the Core i7-12700H in MSI’s roughly 38W sustained power mode. Unsurprisingly, that’s the same for Handbrake H265 too.

7-Zip performance is very similar to the 12700H in the Katana. But once again, AMD’s 35W- and 45W-class Ryzen chips are notably quicker.

Memory bandwidth for the 32GB DDR4 3200MHz set of memory is fine and is only handsomely beaten by LPDDR4 or LPDDR5. Latency of the set is good, too, and I have no problems with DDR4 being used in a laptop of this calibre, as opposed to newer – more expensive – DDR5.
