Benchmark table of Asus notebooks

To provide more benchmark info of Asus laptops to help customers to make their decision, we ran 3DMark05 and PCMark05 on more than 10 different Asus laptops, we also had speed test: Calculates Pi to 2 million digits to see how long each model takes.

For all asus branded models, we just ran the tests under standard configurations.
For all built-on Asus models, we ran the tests under the same configurations: CPU: 2G / Memory: 1G dual channel / HD: 5400rpm.

Besides the standard tests, we ran more tests on Z70Va and Z71V, changed parts one by one to compare the score differences caused by part changes.

We will add more models into the comparison table.

Oohh, the 3DMark05 for the A3 must of been mind boggling(Is it going to explode?!?!)

Thanks Danny, and stickied(We have so many stickies in this forum...)

 

Lol! you only have one more than we do over at NBF! (and we've got this one in common! )

 

For these benchmarks, I assume that the lower the number, the better? I'm not very familiar with benchmarks.

Thanks!

 

Actually the higher the better.

For 3dMark/PCMark, the higher the better

For super PI, the lower the better

 

Benchmark table updated, added in Z71A, W5A.
Specs and photo added for each model as well.

 

Two more tests done on Z71V to compare IDE 5400rpm HD, IDE 7200rpm HD and SATA 5400rpm HD, report updated already.

One small surprise, when I copied Data from external USB HD to the installed HD in the laptop, the SATA HD is the slowest. I thought I was wrong, re-tested 4 times, all the same.
.

 

Good job marking down the numbers...... SATA is already proven not to increase anything, and your information about it decreasing speeds are totally believable because even though the system will except them.... it's converting back to PATA..... so although you'd figure there certainly wouldn't be a performance increase because there isn't a true SATA path....... a decrease is certainly understandable.

 

Dunno what kind of test you are running but sata random and linear seek tests show comparable speeds to 7200rpm hitachi. A good test to run if you still dont belive is time to install windows. Sata will be proven the winner over ide 5400.

 

Where are you getting this from.? Intels own diagram shows that it is indeed a native sata channel.

 

Asus' own disclosure........ it's a pata channel and any performance include due to the use of an sata drive is strictly the drive itself and nothing to do with an sata channel.

I wish it weren't so either, but Asus will stress the fact that it is sata "compatible"..... and aren't very bullish when you bring it up, they'll be the first to tell you it's not an sata channel.

 

Is the W2V the only one with M2,13 GHZ processor?

 

It's the only Ensemble model in North America that comes standard with it, yes.

 

Benchmark table updated, newly added:

1. V6V benchmark test;
2. Asus notebooks size, weight and battery life in one table;
3. More tests on Z71V, to compare the performance difference caused by 5400rpm IDE, 7200rpm IDE and SATA HD

To copy from optical drive to HD, 7200rpm IDE beats 5400rpm IDE and SATA alot. We copied 589M Data to HD, the time used are:
7200rpm IDE-------------------- 3m 12s
5400rpm IDE-------------------- 4m 17s
5400rpm SATA------------------ 4m 12s

 

It'd be nice if you could add 512 to the W3V and re-run the benchmarks. Just for comparison purposes...

 

512M won't make alot change to the marks, you can tell that from the first test on Z70Va on the table.
http://www.notebookforum.ca/phpbb2/docs/Benchmark.htm

 

Using paired modules for dual channel will have a negligible impact of about 2-3% on 3dmark scores for the z70va. Hey its better then nothing.

 

hehe, do you think you could update the battery life and weight numbers for the laptops to uhh...more real world values? like actual tests for them? I'm having trouble breaking the 4h barrier even with underclocking and practically no lcd light lol for the z70va that is

 

I also was wondering if the battery life stats were under real-use tests or Asus' claims. For instance, I have a hard time believing that the Z81Sp gets over 2 hours of battery life with a Pentium 4.

 

It lasted less then 90~ minutes, about 83 minutes when I tried it. Fans were on full blast as well!

 

Benchmark Table updated, under " Other useful information ", there are some newly added info:

--- AC Adaptor and Battery Compatibility Table
--- Warranty Coverage
--- LCD Warranty Policy

We tested an Acer Aspire As5672 Duo Core, X1400 128M model, I know it is off topic for this forum, just did it for the curiosity of Asus laptop lovers

Acer AS5672WLMI: Duo T2300, 1024M, 100G, X1400 128M...

BTW, it has an extremely glossy screen.

Here is the scores:

that acer spec wise/price can`t be beat,hmmm may have to consider one of those now nice numbers

 

CanadaSys,

How to you get that annoying pop up screen for the Acer machine to go away? It moves around on the main screen whenever I scroll around, and I can never get to the "X" to close it. Maybe it's because I'm logged into our work network from home rather than a direct internet connection, and that makes my computer into a dumb terminal. There's a lag between when I type in commands or scroll around. anyway that Acer proporo is REALLY annoying. Makes we want to never buy an Acer....

I just downloaded and ran the latest free version of PCMark05, 3DMark05 & 3DMark06 on my A6J. Below are the scores I got:

• PCMark05: 3999
  [*]3DMark05: 3564
  [*]3DMark06: 1855

My A6J specs:

Intel Centrino Duo T2400 (1.83GHz)
15.4” WXGA Color Shine LCD (1280 x 800)
ODD 8X DVD Super Multi/Double Layer
Wireless IEEE 802.11a/b/g

Memory 2GB 667MHz DDR2
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 256MB on board / 512MB Hyper
1.3M pixels camera
Bluetooth V2.0 EDR
Windows XP Pro SP2

 

Where did you get an A6J with a 256MB X1600?

 

He's probrably in Eurasia where the laptop configs are different

 

What do you guys think about the v6j result in the 3D test?

Anyone that own it play some newer games on it? How does it stack up?

EDIT: Does it handle new games better than the number suggest? I've been thinking about getting one, but I don't want to be disappointed.

 

Here is the PCMarks05 and 3DMarks05 of W3J:






As I mentioned before,the vent on the right side next to the power cord is pretty warm, hot air coming out of there, right hand palm and right half of the keyboard also a little bit warm, but just warm, won't make you uncomfortable, I can hear the fan goes on from time to time, but not noisy.

yikes! 3876 aint so bad!

 

Thanks for the useful link, CanadaSys! And the useful info. of W3J benchmark!!

 

A8Jm:
About the A8Jm, it is on ensemble side now, the 2 day visit schedule to Asus was too tight, I did not get the chance to do a benchmark test on it, I can offer a few more pictures of it, it is a light silver color, from the picture it looks like white, but it is actually not. The mouse pad is unique, not like the traditional one, has a non-metal touching area and a clicking area which is metal, this one the whole thing is one piece of metal like this:



R2H / A8Jm / W3J


W5F / W3J / A8Jm


W5F / W3J / A8Jm



A8Jm to white box?
Now Asus Taiwan schedules 2 high end 14” gaming models on ensemble side, the W3J and A8Jm, and on the white box side, only Z62f and Z62J.

I don’t think the white box side 14” Z62J is strong enough, but Asus USA had hard time to convince Taiwan about this, Taiwan insists Z62J is enough for white box side.

The Taiwan notebook PM is also there in Fremont at this moment, I joined together to convince the Taiwan notebook PM to move the A8Jm to white box side, I think the W3J is enough for the ensemble side. I worked very hard on this issue, he promised to put this into serious consideration, the A8Jm should be available in a month, let’s see if he is willing to move it to white box side. From his attitude at the end of the conversation, I think we have a good chance. The current ensemble A8Jm should be around $1600USD if it stays on the ensemble side.

S6F:
The S6 is a collection model, Asus can only makes 500 units per month, because the leather will be put on by hand, not by machine. "How about $3000 each?", the Asus VP tried our response. It should be available in the summer time.




Lamborghini
The Lamborghini has no price yet, but will be US$2800 at least. The video card still not decided, but should be a nVidia one. The 2 demos there have non-English OS installed, I can not read it, so I didn’t play with them a lot. It will be just a V6V + nVidia + a top cover




R1F
13", touch-screen, finger-print rader, bluetooth, will be available in July
The tablet will be available in June, of course Asus plans it on ensemble side, but I suggest Asus sell it as a barebone bundle with Tablet OS, this way will make it very unique in the market, it will be the only tablet customizable, this is just my suggest, don’t know what Asus thinks. Asus has never thought about a whitebox tablet, when I said this, their response is: oh, an interesting idea.

I like whitebox more than ensemble, I like Asus has more white box models. Wish you guys think so too At this moment, apparently Asus is trying to work more on their own brand name - ensemble.



R2H:
7", touch-screen, finger-print rader, bluetooth, will be available in July

 

Danny, will you be carrying the S6's when they're available? Will they be special order only or do you think you'd stock a few? Also, do you think they'll actually come in at 3000 (US or CAN?) or lower?

What about the non-leather S6 models, same questions as above?
Thanks for any info in advance.

 

Both memory slots at bottom for easy upgrade, memory is 533, not 667





There is a little cute mouse, a small buckle on the USB cable end and on the bottom of the mouse, you can buckle them together to avoid mess.







You can organize the mouse cable like this and buckle the cable end to the mouse bottom







.

 

if the 7300 does decently, i hope the 7600 will soar above it. By the way, is that the fancy asus mouse that's included according to the AsusTek global page, but not included in N.A. shipments?

 

I think it is but also it depends what model you ordered, for example I got Logi V270 Bluetooth with W3j and my friend got the corded one.
Also I would like to say that I got almost 1000 marks more in 3dm05 (47xx) with T2400, X1600 OCed and newest Omega drivers.

 

what would an s96j be comparable to?

 

I know lots of people are debating between A8Jm and W3J, I will do a brief comparision here, I am still working on them I will edit this post later:

3Darks05: A8Jm / W3J:

PCMarks05: A8Jm / W3J

Battery life: A8Jm / W3J -- 2 hours 45 min / 2 hours 50 min. ( both mid brightness, wireless on, external optical mouse, internet browsing and typing, the time I mentioned above is the time
I got battery low warning, with 7% left )

Hot swapable optical bay battery and HD: A8Jm / W3J -- NO / Yes
Size: A8Jm is slightly wider than W3J













Ports and vent on the side












Also slightly taller than W3J(from the hinge)




Layout(the keyboard is different from the model I saw before, the "shift" key on the demo I saw before was quite short)



Specs and mouse pad







A8Jm has more vent at the bottom




Viewing angles are about the same(I set both to max brightness)










Other impressions:

When click the mosue pad, the click sound from W3J is way louder than A8Jm;

like the A8Jm, right half of the palm and keyboard is warm(same at the bottom), but nothing uncomfortable;

W3J blows more hot air from the side vent and fan is on more freqently than A8Jm, but I don't feel being bothered because I don't put my external mouse near the vent;

 

The screens sim pretty dim for max brightness. Is it brighter in real life and it's the camera's fault ?

 

Camera's fault, they are quite bright.

 

thanks for the comparison! hmm its a bit odd they both get 3 hours but the W3J has a larger cell battery. is the ATi card more battery consuming?

 

The W3J will be a little longer, right now I have use the W3J with external optical mouse for 1 hour 30 minutes, it has 53% left.

The other day I used A8Jm the same way, at 2 hours 45 minutes, I got warning: 7% left, please connect power adaptor.

 

there is a bios update for the A8j, have u tested that yet?

 

When can we excpect update with 3dm05?? I'm soooo impatient

 

Reporting dead links on the bottom of the page under "Integration Guide"

 

Goren, someone has came up with a small theory explaining why laptops get a certain amount of batterylife despite the components.

"No matter what's being used, the whole laptop as a package depicts how long the batterylife would be."

With that being said, in theory the W3J with an eight cell battery should get a longer batterylife. However, you can see the A8jm gettign close to the same batterylife. We may be talking about a difference of 10-20 minutes.

Yes the optical mouse, plugged into the USB played a key role in determining batterylife, it seems to consume alot of batterylife, consider others here have had 3hours and 15mins without an external mouse on thier W3J.

So looking at the package of internal components and trying to find what consumes what power and then you can differenciate. BUT wait, you guys remember that program, i think its a battery miser, that says how much WHr your using currently.

With that program, if you set the A8jm and W3J in the same situation, wifi on, brightness 50%, and MS word open with a web browser, and P4G set to long battery, then look at the WHr, which has a higher number? the A8jm or W3J?

Then you can draw conclusions based on those numbers, and then consider battery size to be a secondary factor.

Thanks,
