Cinebench R23 Multi Core
In Cinebench R23 Multi Core we see the MSI losing out to the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 SE by a significant margin. This looks odd as the two laptops use CPUs that are very similar, however we can see what is going on.
The explanation becomes clear when we look at the specifics of the CPUs in the laptops that perform best in our chart and study the power level they use during the test runs. The Asus supplies 140W to the CPU which runs above 3.8GHz while the MSI is stuck at 105W and 3.5GHz.
Cinebench R23 Single Core
In Cinebench R23 Single Core there is very little to separate the Asus and MSI. As we explain in our video there is only a single test result for the Titan GT77 as the system switches into Extreme Performance Mode as soon as the benchmark test begins.
The curious thing is that the CPU in the MSI pulls 40W during the Cinebench test while the Asus only requires 35W. We have to wonder whether the quality of the CPU in this MSI is slightly inferior to the Asus.
