Thor 911 Black Phantom Review: The absolute power of gaming notebooks

Intel probably really loves Raytheon, because Raytheon also appeared in the first list of the eighth-generation Intel Core mobile version. You know, this was the exclusive privilege of American IT giants in the past. Now, this honor has fallen on Raytheon, and Raytheon, which focuses on gaming notebooks, has lived up to expectations and launched the new 911 notebook Black Phantom, equipped with the eighth-generation Intel Core mobile version, 16G memory and 1060 graphics card.

From then on, Thor had another killer warrior in the gaming e-sports arena. What was even more terrifying was that, just as the name of Black Phantom said, it possessed absolute ghostly power.

Black Phantom is more than just a dream

As the world's only stealth bomber, the B2's nickname is Ghost. It costs $2.4 billion.

The name of the Raytheon 911 Black Ghost contains the word "ghost". Officials said that its design concept was inspired by aircraft. Although the official did not specify which aircraft it was, there is no doubt that the inspiration for the Black Ghost design language comes from the famous B2, a flying wing stealth bomber that is the most perfect and dreamy flying wing structure in human history.

The same is true for Thor 911 Black Phantom. It has no extra decoration, and its chiseled appearance is cold and speechless. On the all-metal brushed A-side, two faint blue lightning bolts are on both sides under the shining cold light, which is intimidating without any anger.

Viewed from this angle, the Thor 911 Black Phantom looks like a roc spreading its wings and soaring into the sky.

The body is 25mm thick and weighs 2.4kg. It is light but powerful, just like Tyson at his peak, small in stature but strong enough to knock down a bull with his fist.

It is also equipped with an Intel i7-8750H six-core twelve-thread processor, 16G memory, Samsung NVMe ultra-fast solid-state drive, 72% color gamut 144Hz high refresh rate gaming screen, dual-fan four-copper tube cooling, 83Wh lithium-ion battery, and RGB16.8 million color backlit keyboard.

After reading the configuration table, I feel that the sensory stimulation given to you by Thor 911 Black Phantom is no less than the 20,000-pound bomb dropped by the B2 stealth bomber. My blood is boiling and I can't wait to pick up the mouse and keyboard to start the battle.

The rich and diverse full-slam interfaces make the Thunderboost 911 Black Phantom not only adept at performance games, but also a good productivity tool in the office field.

Thanks to the forward-looking design language, the appearance of Thor 911 Black Phantom is perfect. It not only achieves an excellent balance in weight, thickness and performance, the overall look is lighter, thinner and more beautiful, but also achieves an unprecedented fusion of function and aesthetics, making it more enjoyable, faster and more powerful to use.

In the face of absolute power, all skills are futile.

What is absolute power? A more literary way of saying it is that a heavy sword has no edge, and great skill is not elaborate. In daily communication, it is said, "I beat you, what does it have to do with you?"

Thor 911 Black Ghost is probably such a tough character. In the test, it was found that with the absolute power of the eighth-generation Core, the performance of Thor 911 Black Ghost is a surprise compared with its peers.

In the e-sports arena, in a split second, 0.1 second faster means one step faster, and this step is often the distance that allows a sword to reach the throat.

Although Master Lu's running score is just a game-like pastime, it is also conscientious and accurate in basic work such as hardware identification.

The above picture is the configuration table of Thunderbolt 911 Black Phantom identified by Master Lu. From it, we can see that it can identify the processor and main hard disk very accurately. Why is this said? Because in the subsequent tests, it was found that some well-known test software is still lagging behind and cannot accurately identify this latest Intel 8th generation Core mobile processor.

Before carrying out various benchmark tests, various Windows patches should be applied first.

Also turn off background app refresh.

Check the installation status of each driver again, and prepare to set off after confirming that everything is correct.

CPU

Here, I want to say that the driver manager that comes with Thunder is very practical. In the past, if you want to install software like Driver Life, you may install a whole bucket of XX, but Thunder Driver Manager is clean and pure. Not only does it not force you to install any software, but it also does not push boring gossip news. More importantly, the effect of driver updates is the same as if you installed Driver Life or Driver Genius.

First, run Super Pi. This software is probably older than me. The main purpose of testing it is to pay tribute to the past. It is a ritual without any real meaning.

If you think about it carefully, it is actually quite interesting that after so many years, there is actually no test software that can replace it. It is on this last century's interface UI that Thor 911 Black Phantom ran a 1 million digit calculation of pi in 9.142 seconds.

So, how does the Thor 911 Black Phantom CPU perform? The following is a test done by ZOL in 2015. Referring to the Thor CPU, it can be seen that the integer computing performance is roughly between the i5 6600K and the i7 6700K. In fact, it is closer to the i7 6700K.

Here, I would like to remind you that the Thunder CPU is a mobile version, which has a big disadvantage in voltage, but it can still approach the integer performance of the i7 6700K on the desktop. How should I put it? This improvement is indeed huge, like making a four-cylinder engine burst out with the energy of a six-cylinder.

In many tests, CINEBENCH R15 has won the love of many friends with its fair, objective and non-rechargeable attitude, and is quite authoritative in CPU single-thread and multi-thread testing.

In the test of Thor 911 Black Phantom, let's talk about the OpenGL part of the graphics card first. Thanks to the performance of 1060 6G, it achieved a result of 121.1fps, which is quite satisfactory, neither too high nor too low.

Maybe it's due to the test environment, in the CPU test, the score of 1118 of this U is a bit low. But after repeated tests, the fluctuation of the value is not too large. If anyone knows the reason, please tell us.

Not giving up, I started another test software, Aida 64.

Here is a point of knowledge. CPU Queen tests the branch prediction ability of the CPU and the performance impact caused by misprediction. For CPUs with the same main frequency, shorter processing pipelines and more accurate prediction ability will score higher in this item. Therefore, it can be seen that the higher the main frequency of the CPU, the better the performance. This score can reflect the real performance of the CPU.

From this we can see that the mobile version of the CPU, the Thunderboost 911 Ghost Edition, has surpassed all the desktop computers and its numerical value is infinitely close to the i7 7800X, a CPU that costs 2,800 yuan.

Here, I want to take back what I said before. This is not to make a four-cylinder engine burst out with the energy of a six-cylinder, but to burst out with the energy of an eight-cylinder. Thor 911 Black Phantom is an e-sports notebook that can kill high-end desktop computers in seconds.

Let's take a look at the performance of this CPU in the game, mainly testing its floating point computing capability.

Mention some knowledge points:

FPU Julia uses Julia fractal geometry to evaluate the single-precision (32-bit) floating-point computing capabilities of the CPU.

FPU Mandel uses Mandelbrot fractal geometry to evaluate the CPU's double-precision (64-bit) computing power.

FPU SinJulia uses a modified Julia fractal algorithm to evaluate the CPU's extended precision (80-bit) floating-point computing capability.

The CPU on the Raytheon 911 Black Phantom should have few rivals at the same price, because all the computers compared with it are desktops, but the result is that it wins.

Graphics

This is the score of the Thunderbolt 911 Black Phantom on the PCMark 10 benchmark test. Needless to say, there are basically no laptops that can surpass it, and the only ones that can compete head-on with it are desktops.

This is the most amazing scene. The 3DMark benchmark test shows that I don't recognize this U. In this regard, I just want to say, can you keep updating with more care? Although there was a small error in the hardware recognition, the score still came out. The 1060+6G of the Thunder 911 Black Phantom is indeed good at fighting. As an officially recommended graphics card for eating chicken, it is worthy of its reputation.

storage

The train runs fast because of the locomotive. With a top-level U, the data processing speed has increased dramatically, but in the transmission and storage link, many seemingly high-end notebooks fail at this stage because the SSD hard drive is too poor.

The Thunder 911 Black Phantom is different. It uses the highly acclaimed Samsung NVMe SSD hard drive. Its benefits can be summarized as "two lows and one high", lower latency and power consumption, and higher transmission efficiency.

We chose HD Tune Pro 5.7, which is also an internationally renowned hard drive testing software, for testing. In the actual test, the Thor 911 Black Phantom lived up to expectations, with an average reading rate of 917.4M/s that was astonishing.

For comparison, here is the read data of Seagate 1TB mechanical hard disk on the Thunderbolt 911 Black Phantom. Needless to say, the difference between the two is obvious. What you need to be impressed by is why the gap is so big, which is basically ten times.

From the picture we can see that the reading status of Samsung's SSD has been very stable, while the mechanical hard drive has been declining all the way and is slightly tired.

Battery life

Finally, in the battery life test, we did not choose to test games, mainly because no user would be stupid enough to play games without plugging in. So, we chose to play a full HD movie for the test.

After fully charging the Thor 911 Black Phantom, and adjusting the brightness and volume to the highest, use the iQiyi player to start playing the full HD "The Return of the Great Sage" animation.

We can see that when playing for 45 minutes, the battery of the Thunder 911 Black Phantom is still 65%. This shows that the 83Wh large battery is really no joke, it is so durable.

It is worth mentioning that when testing the battery power, the volume was adjusted to the maximum, but when listening, no matter it was the whisper in the picture or the violent roar, the sound would be transmitted to your eardrum in a delicate and layered manner, and the sound was so transparent that it was pleasant to the ear.

If you buy this laptop and have a limited budget, you can indeed save money on a speaker. After all, listening to music with the Thor 911 Black Phantom speaker is both classy and classy.

Summarize

Again, there is nothing much to say about the Thor 911 Black Phantom. It looks good, but the performance is so strong. It is a true portrayal of other people's children. And this is exactly the biggest selling point of the Thor 911 Black Phantom. I have absolute power. What can you do if you are unhappy? What does it have to do with you if I knock you down? After all, in front of absolute power, all skills are futile. No matter you are Wudang, Shaolin or Wing Chun, you will be knocked down with one punch without any extra words.
