MSI CX623 Laptop Review – Core i5/Geforce 310M

Our good friends at Cyberlink kindly supplied the software for our Bluray and conversion tests.

Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 is one of the finest solutions for the Blu-Ray experience on Windows and we found this software to work perfectly with this chipset. We tested with the Bluray Disc of Avatar, one of our favourite sci-fi films in recent years.

Some of you might have been expecting the CX623 to outperform the FX600 in this test, however the FX600 has the nVidia GT 325M onboard, a more powerful graphics solution than the 310M on the CX623. This additional GPU power helps to make up for the slightly weaker processor.

We then recorded the CPU demand over a specific set of time to get a ‘real world’ rolling scale of activity. The Core i5 processor is easily capable of delivering a fantastic HD media experience.
