Handbrake shows that same trend as rendering tasks; the MSI GF66 does do well to compete against the other Intel 12^th Gen competitors, despite its significantly lower price tag. But Ryzen 45W chips are notably quicker.

7-Zip is not quite as positive, though, with even the power-restricted ASUS ROG Flow Z13 opening up a performance lead.

Memory bandwidth from the 16GB of 3200MHz DDR4 is positive and is only handsomely beaten by LPDDR4 or LPDDR5 in AIDA’s test. The latency of plain DDR4 is a solid, too.
