Various 3DCG tests on Cinebench
With the benchmark software “Cinebench” based on Maxon’s 3DCG software, we ran tests with the latest version of Cinebench 2026, Cinebench 2024, and Cinebench R23.
At Cinebench 2026, the SENSE-16WR171-U7-UKSX scored 493 in single-threaded and 6,606 in multi-threaded CPU tests. In addition, in the GPU test using GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU, it recorded a score of 62,977, which is an order of magnitude higher than the CPU.
You can see that the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU exhibits extremely powerful performance in 3DCG software that supports GPU.
In Cinebench 2024 and Cinebench R23, which measured CPU performance, the Core Ultra 7 255HX CPU demonstrated excellent single-thread performance and multi-thread performance that surpassed that of ordinary desktop CPUs.
The CPU performance of the Core Ultra 7 255HX, a semi-high-end model of the Core Ultra 200HX series, is not inferior to the high-end model of the successor Core Ultra series 3 (Panther Lake) that appeared the other day, and in particular, the multi-threading performance when the 8 P cores and 12 E cores are fully operational exceeds even the top model of Panther Lake.
Blender’s official benchmark “Blender Benchmark”
The graph below shows the results of measuring the overall performance of the CPU and GPU using Blender Benchmark, the official benchmark test for the 3DCG software “Blender”. The Blender version used for testing was v4.5.0.
The CPU Core Ultra 7 255HX recorded 202.3 spm in the monster, 133.9 spm in the junk shop, and 96.8 spm in the classroom, which is quite excellent for a CPU for a notebook PC, and it has a performance that exceeds that of an ordinary desktop PC.
However, as seen in Cinebench 2026 today, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU recorded an overwhelming speed of around 10 times that of the Core Ultra 7 255HX. If you want to handle 3DCG with Blender, the SENSE-16WR171-U7-UKSX’s strength will be that it is equipped with a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU.
CPU video encoding test using HandBrake
Using the video conversion software “HandBrake,” we measured the encoding speed when converting a 60-second 4K/2160p video (3,840 x 2,160 dots, 60fps) into various formats such as H.264, H.265, and AV1 using CPU processing.
The encoding speed of the Core Ultra 7 255HX installed in SENSE-16WR171-U7-UKSX was 122.1fps when converted to H.264, 36.3fps for H.265, and 28.5fps for AV1.
These are quite excellent and negligible speeds for a notebook PC CPU, indicating that the Core Ultra 7 255HX’s hybrid CPU core, which consists of 8 P cores and 12 E cores, exhibits high performance even outside of 3DCG.
Performance of Adobe image processing apps
The graph below shows the execution results of UL Procyon’s “Photo Editing Benchmark”, which measures performance in image processing using Adobe’s Photoshop and Lightroom Classic.
The SENSE-16WR171-U7-UKSX has an overall score of 8,101, which is a value that allows you to edit photos quite comfortably.
To find out how much performance can actually be achieved, we measured the processing speed when using Adobe Camera Raw to divide 100 24 million RAW files into JPEG format, and when applying AI noise removal to 20 24 million RAW files.
With RAW Bit, which converts RAW files to JPEG format, the speed when processing only with the CPU was 174.9 fpm, and the speed when using the GPU for processing was 183.5 fpm.
The Core Ultra 7 255HX alone has recorded an astonishing speed of just under 175 frames per minute, but the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU can speed up that speed by some margin.
In AI noise removal, where most of the processing is done by the GPU, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU installed in SENSE-16WR171-U7-UKSX recorded 9.38 fpm.
Adobe Camera Raw’s AI noise removal is a very effective process, but it is a high-load process that can take several minutes to process one image on iGPUs. The performance of the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU is impressive as it can process just under 10 images per minute. The performance of the SENSE-16WR171-U7-UKSX should also be useful for photographers who often use RAW files.
Measuring AI performance with UL Procyon bench test marks
The graph below shows the results of running UL Procyon’s “AI Computer Vision Benchmark” which measures AI processing performance. The scores were measured using OpenVINO for the CPU and TensorRT for the GPU.
The score recorded by the Core Ultra 7 255HX CPU is an excellent value for a notebook PC CPU, and reflects its high multi-thread performance, but the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU is recommended with a score of 6 to 16 times higher, demonstrating the high AI processing performance of the GeForce RTX 50 series.
As an example of utilizing the high AI processing performance of the GPU, we ran the “AI Image Generation Benchmark” to measure the performance of image generation AI in stable diffusion, and the “AI Text Generation Benchmark” to measure the performance of text generation AI.
In the AI image generation benchmark, the time required to generate one 512-dot image was 2.635 seconds for float16 and 1.060 seconds for w8a16. Generation of a 1,024-dot square image (float16), which requires a larger capacity of VRAM, was completed in 18.181 seconds per image.
The scores of the AI Text Generation Benchmark, which measures the performance of text generation AI, were 3,126 for PHI 3.5, 3,196 for MISTRAL 7B, 2,726 for LLAMA 3.1, and 2,529 for LLAMA 2.
LLAMA 2, which requires a VRAM capacity of 12GB or more, seems to be slightly slower, but it completed the test with a terrible slowdown due to lack of VRAM. In addition to the high processing power of the GPU, the SENSE-16WR171-U7-UKSX’s strength is that it has 12GB of dedicated VRAM.
Testing the cooling performance of SENSE-16WR171-U7-UKSX
Finally, we will present the results of a high-load test to verify the performance of the cooling system included in the SENSE-16WR171-U7-UKSX.
This time, we verified the high CPU load condition by Cinebench 2026’s multi-thread test (Multiple Threads) and the high GPU load condition by 3DMark’s Steel Nomad Stress Test, and obtained monitoring data during each execution using HWiNFO64 Pro.
The average CPU temperature while running Cinebench 2026 was 92.4℃ (maximum 103℃), which is lower than the TjMax of 105℃.
Immediately after the test started, the Core Ultra 7 255HX operated consuming 140W of power, but about 3 minutes after the test started, VR-TDC with a current limit set to 74.5A was activated and the CPU power consumption decreased to 95W. From then on, stable operation was maintained until the end of the test, which took more than 30 minutes.
The average GPU temperature while running 3DMark was 74.3℃ (maximum 76.9℃), which is below the GPU temperature limit of 87℃. GPU power consumption remains stable at around 140W from start to finish, and GPU clock (average 2,390MHz) and VRAM clock (average 1,130MHz) also maintain consistent values throughout.
Recent monitoring data shows that the SENSE-16WR171-U7-UKSX’s cooling system is capable of consistently delivering long-lasting Core Ultra 7 255HX and GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU performance.
