The new Lenovo Y460p mold the whole does not change anything, just the roof appearance and operation of regional sticker logo has changed, but it is undeniable that the metal wire drawing process is indeed to better reflect the texture. Perhaps for us, are most concerned about or Y460p tough and sturdy hardware configuration, after all, this is the first Sandy Bridge platform-based notebook computers, and 126 college students to participate in the design of the product.
AIDA64 software testing, we can see Y460p Intel's latest 32nm Core i7 2630QM quad-core processor and HM65 chipset motherboard, the processor also integrates a new graphics card's core, the core graphics Turbo 2.0 technology even under Core frequency. Y460p also comes standard with 2GB DDRIII-1333 memory, loaded with the AMD Radeon HD 6550M discrete graphics card, equipped with a Western Digital 750GB 5400RPM SATA-II hard drive, DVD burner, IBM LENOVO DC301000J00 DC POWER JACK CABLE CJ123, the Broadcom 802.1 wireless LAN and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR module. In addition, pre-installed 32bit Windows 7 Home Premium Home Premium Edition operating system.
This latest Intel Core i7 2630QM quad-core processors based on 32nm technology, the core code for Sandy Bridge, the original clocked at 2.00GHz, 6MB shared L3 cache, the overall TDP is 45W. Open Turbo accelerated 2.0 single core acceleration clocked 2.90GHz dual-core speed clocked at 2.80GHz, Quad-Core speed clocked at 2.60GHz and supports synchronous Hyper-Threading technology, so the four core and eight threads. In addition to the instruction set support the previous generation of processors supported by the support for the new AVX instruction set, which gives us in the intensive floating-point operations, 3D games, CAD / CAM, digital content creation applications with faster speed.
In addition, thanks to the 32nm processors share the L3 cache, improve computational efficiency and data hit rate, but also shorten the waiting time for daily processing tasks. 32nm processor also uses the DMI bus and integrated PCI-E bus, making the processor itself is only just and PCH chip on the motherboard part of a small amount of data exchange will be able to achieve operating, so that the data delay greatly reduced, but also reduce the we need to wait a specified running time.
Hard drive test analysis, the data show that HD Tune, which is produced by a Western Digital 750GB 5400RPM SATA-II hard drive, the average read speed of 72.1MB / s burst transfer rate of 80.1MB / s, these speed The performance is pretty good, but the more general continuous data transfer rate performance. Up from the test data analysis are both 5400RPM hard drive, the performance of new 32nm Sandy Bridge mobile platform before Westmere platform, as compared to the previous 45nm old platform or up to 15%, which It can be said that the new platform architecture and technology has brought us the performance increase is very significant.
PCMark Vantage software is more focus on the whole multi-function application of the test. Fully tested Lenovo Y460p a total score of 6272 points, this result compared with the previous small y, the overall performance of about 20% improvement, which also benefited from the Sandy Bridge platform architecture and technology, while Lenovo y460p especially in multimedia applications, entertainment, video and wireless communications, has a better performance.
AMD new generation of mobile-class graphics card HD 6000M series is not only the logo changed, even the naming of mobile products also made a slight adjustment, AMD in the desktop-class graphics card name added to the "M" letter, on behalf of The graphics for the mobile-class products, so let us better able to distinguish between products classified. We can see this Lenovo the Y460p equipped with the AMD Radeon HD 6550M discrete graphics GPU-Z information, we can see that the graphics card has 400 stream processors based on 40nm technology, Memory Interface 128Bit Memory type GDDR3, memory capacity of 1024MB, and supports DirectX 11, the OpenGL 3.2,16 x angle independent anisotropic filtering, ATI Eyefinity (6 screens), ATI Stream, ATI CrossFireX, ATI Avivo HD (UVD2), ATI PowerPlay, the Windows 7 and other technical or software.
Lenovo Y460p 3DMark Vantage Entry mode, the final test score of 16922 points GPU score of 16766 points. Look through the results of the comparison data for the mainstream graphics performance, AMD Radeon HD 6550M and HD5730 performance of the previous generation was essentially flat, while in the performance of the 3D aspects of a 10% increase than the previous generation of Y460A. It can be said that this new mainstream graphics card is still capable of the vast majority of 3D games, and better able to support DirectX 11 specification, which gives us a clear and realistic picture of the game and smooth experience feelings.
In front of the special test of 3DMark Vantage, we know that a piece of AMD Radeon HD 6550M with significant independence generation 3D graphics performance than the HD5650 has a 10 percent increase, but in this enhance the feeling we experience the game is not very clear . To this end, we also demo "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit" and "Street Fighter" game, two games are set to 1366 × 768 resolution and the highest quality, and also open some of the effects.
"Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit" With the deepening of the game, racing more and Madden. You will be able to experience the thrill of driving the world's best racing to top speed when flying. You can use the increased power of the police interceptor vehicle to intercept drag racing family, you can also play motorcycle racing driving challenge the authority of the law. In addition, Seacrest Village hurricane and explore the varied terrain filled with deserts, forests, beaches and mountain coast of California, allow our experience to transform the real scene.
"14, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit" game screen to make more clear and realistic, multi-terrain switch let us in the racing game, but also beautiful scenery to enjoy along the way, but this graphics requirements will be higher more. The demo through a whole paragraph pursuit of drag racing, we also recorded the game frames, where the maximum frame rate is 40FPS, the minimum frame rate is 28FPS average frame 33.07FPS. Visible Lenovo Y460p able to easily get this racing 3D games.
Although the "Street Fighter 4" is not a new game, but its 3D graphics hardware performance, there are certain requirements, especially the games built-in demo mode can be directly measured by the machine's performance capabilities. Program runs in DEMO, we can see the game screen the number of frames remained in 40FPS above, even if it is close local character close-up picture frames did not appear to decline. Lenovo Y460p final score ranked as "C", average frame 48.39FPS, this result shows Lenovo Y460p is still such a high-definition can basically smooth running of this 3D game, of course, that Lenovo Y460p overall performance capable of the vast majority of 3D games.
32nm Westmere architecture of the technology will substantially reduce the leakage current of the NMOS and PMOS transistors, the circuit size and performance can be greatly optimizing, while allowing the processor requires only a small amount of data exchange will be able to PCH chip on the motherboard part into a two-chip operations, realization of works from the original three-chip, so from the perspective of a variety of techniques to reduce overall power consumption of notebook, and really let the notebook has a good thermal environment. Sandy Bridge processor CPU and GPU perfect fusion, and in these technologies do better, then let us hope that under the new platform in the heat of performance.
At room temperature 22 ° C (heating indoor) environment, we switched after two hours of all test software to continue using the the FurMark software pager test. FurMark's resolution modulation of 1366 × 768, open the 16X anti-aliasing capabilities, and open extreme torture mode. When FurMark running a child, the temperature of the inner core hardware has been basically constant, we also use a thermal imager to detect Lenovo Y460p operating area and the bottom of the fuselage, temperature. Lenovo Y460p cooling as shown above (click to enlarge) below.
Lenovo Y460p is equipped with a 11.1V 5200mAh 6-cell lithium-ion battery capacity of 57Wh. In the Windows 7 operating system, we will tune power management modes for power saving mode, and use BatteryMark to test the endurance Life Test mode, the ultimate test of endurance time of 3 hours and 50 minutes. Nearly 4 hours of battery life for a notebook with discrete graphics, and meet the basic needs of our half-day out of office and business meeting needs.
Next, let us look at the appearance
Lenovo Y460p machine used in all the cool black color, and say what the beauty reveals a sturdy king temperament. Of course, the top of the fuselage metal wire drawing process is not only a cool black surface it is not monotonous, but also enhance the texture of the whole. This process also allows the roof to become more practical wear, good play down the surface of the fingerprint residue. In addition, a strong metallic finish of the top cover corner "lenovo" logo design is still there, you can see in the cool black roof, silver-white logo become even more dazzling.
Although the classic "orange belt" and not Y460p the body get passed, but the design of the chrome-plated metal shaft is still there, and with the cool black top and brushed metal to become better integrated. Of course, this stems from the designers shuttle in the bustling metropolis of fashion, from the younger generation of fashion decorations to find the element of inspiration, and always be able to cater to and take advantage of the aesthetic point of view of the younger generation. In addition, the shaft can still use the principle of gravity, we only use one hand you can easily open the notebook.
Lenovo Y460p still a 14-inch notebook, with a 14-inch LED-backlit LCD glossy display, and supports the best 1366 x 768 resolution, and also use a brightly colored engine technology. Is the glossy screen, so to some extent, compensate for the deficiencies of the laptop screen brightness, and white look will be brighter. The color saturation was not very, but for notebooks, is a good level. In addition, Lenovo Y460p grayscale performance, be able to clear some of the details of the screen.
Ideapad Y460 products since Lenovo launched the very high-profile publicity is equipped with a set of JBL professional-grade speakers, of course, the shock feeling with the Dolby surround sound can bring us to the ground. Of course, this core strengths in Y460p on the continuation of the discovery the Y460p notebook computers audio part of the sound field performance is very good and in the process of our audio-visual, which is the most different from other products, more suitable for playback of audio files recorded by the live version of and concerts, with good effect. It is worth mentioning that, Y460p laptop computer sound performance or indulge in the high frequency part, which is limited due to the structure of the computer, but overall not the kind of dry, thin type, frequency distribution is more balanced, more full and rounded IF.
Lenovo Y460p in addition to a change in the top (surface), the screen surface (B surface), the operating area (C surface) and the bottom of the fuselage (D surface) has not changed a lot. Operating area at the top left and right sides are still a set of JBL professional speaker built-in, in the middle turn the power switch button, the System Restore button, the hard disk / Bluetooth / wireless indicator to support multi-touch touch strips, power management / key Audio / down volume / increase volume and mute shortcut keys, these keys can issue incandescent color light, with the status indicator at the same time also played a certain modification. High-touch keyboard design has been the exclusive Lenovo notebook support multi-touch trackpad is also very sensitive.
The classic design of course, always continue so Y460p also Lenovo's high touch keyboard design. These keys are used the ladder in the form design, which makes the keycap The larger, the distance between each key is quite satisfactory. Moderate the key way we do not need the intensity, we can get the output, so we use, the keyboard is not only the input speed, but also more comfortable, even if the long entry, is not easy to feel tired.
Support multi-touch touchpad is still the continuation of the classic style, the design of the surface of small dots, the touchpad has a more accurate positioning and sensitive operational. We can through the to Flanagan yellow line on the right place to slide up and down to achieve the scrolling of web pages. Y460p in the palm rest around edge design more beautiful stickers and logo, the new AMD mobile graphics and Sandy Bridge processor logo to embody Lenovo Y460p sense of science and technology.
New brushed metal appearance and a new Sandy Bridge platform configuration, the power adapter is also designed more that will make Lenovo Y460p become lighter or heavier? By our measurements, the battery Lenovo Y460p the whole weight of the 2.226Kg, the weight in this respect did not happen the larger changes. Travel to carry the weight of the (machine + battery + power adapter) 2.908Kg, relatively speaking, slightly heavier than 0.2Kg of weight. Overall, we were out of office applications, the Lenovo Y460p does not become a burden.
Lenovo Y460p the mold does not change, there will be no larger changes in the fuselage interface, but this the Y460p using the AMD Radeon HD 6550M discrete graphics, but no design on the generation of a key switch graphics capabilities, the system does not have the option. If the Power Mode to "balance" or "high performance" mode, Lenovo Y460p discrete graphics will be used to run, if transferred to the "energy saving" mode, will use the processor integrated "core graphics" to run.
Lenovo Y460p fuselage on the left followed by VGA video output, HDMI high-definition video output interfaces, cooling holes, the RJ-45 Ethernet interface, 2 x USB2.0 interface and a set of audio output and input interfaces. The interface is relatively more crowded, if we are to use multiple interfaces at the same time, there will inevitably be conflict in space, but there is no way. Video of a flagship entertainment notebook also must have some common interface design.
The right side of the fuselage is relatively simple and a lot of, from left to right, followed by USB2.0 interface, SONY PCG 81212M VPCF11J0E DC POWER JACK LAPTOP 40A, e-SATA interface (compatible USB 2.0), DVD burner, power connector, and safety lock. Lenovo Y460p is sunken shaft design, so the back of the fuselage and no design interface, but the front of the fuselage is still design the multi-card reader and wireless network switch button, and the keys of the two graphics .
Summary:
Lenovo Y460p only appearance of the surface of the "City Brand" change the brushed metal design, but also canceled the classic "orange waist, but the machine cool black color with metal wire drawing process is still very in tune, in enhance the overall texture, while also showing the avant-garde side of fashion. The speaker of the glossy screen and JBL professional level of use of brightly colored engine technology, and then with Dolby surround sound bring us shocking audio-visual enjoyment.
Lenovo Y460p focus in its first Sandy Bridge platform configured laptop, thanks to the high frequency of the new quad-core processors Sandy Bridge platform, the Turbo Boost 2.0 technology, AVX instruction set and other technical characteristics, the first has a very clear advantage in terms of performance. The new AMD Radeon HD 6550M discrete graphics also enhance the Y460p the 3D performance, but Y460p can not achieve the two graphics feature some regret. On the whole, early exposure and market a new platform for notebook Y460p very worthwhile purchase.
