Asus ZenBook Flip S – Flip Tiger Lake

3D/PCMark and Unigine Heaven/Superposition

This year is packed with technological innovations and laptops are an area where it’s all happening. In addition, Intel is under a lot of pressure, which was reflected in the relatively fast release of the new gen of Tiger Lake processors, and the first novelty from Asus has already reached our editorial office. What is the new ZenBook Flip S like and is the 11th gen of Intel Core even sensible compared to the 10th gen in the recently tested ZenBook 14?

3D/PCMark and Unigine Heaven

PCMark tests both CPU and GPU performance. This is a relatively long test, which could have a negative effect on the performance of the Flip S, but the opposite is true. The novelty beats the ZenBook 14 and Dell by 20 and 11%, respectively. However, it loses by 9% against the Swift 3. 3DMark gaming tests show an interesting graphic performance of the novelty. At Firestrike, it beats Dell by 30% and the ZenBook 14 by up to 85%. The Swift 3 is also lagging behind by 8%. We don’t usually test Time Spy and Sky Diver on ultrabooks, so we still have to compare with the recently tested Legion Y740S, with the 10th generation of 45 W H-series processors. The novelty gave a 2 and 3 times higher result, which is definitely interesting.

As a representative of the graphic gaming test, Unigine Heaven shows us that 3DMark was right and the novelty beats all integrated GPUs so far. It beats Iris Plus in Dell and ZenBook 14 by 40–82%, Acer Swift 3 with Vega 7 by 33% and the dedicated MX250 by 29% or even Vega 8 by 10%.
