The step to offer an even more powerful CPU in the already very high-performance gaming laptop was only a matter of time, especially considering the cooling solutions potential: The PL1 and PL2 values of the Core i9 can be increased to up to 140 watts in the XMG Control Centre (Core i7: 120 watts). In combination with the optional XMG OASIS external laptop liquid cooling system, the processor, which is connected to its three heat pipes via liquid metal, maintains a package power of around 106 watts even in the long run, which corresponds to a clock rate of 4 GHz (performance cores) or 3 GHz (efficiency cores).<\/p>\n\n<p>In benchmarks: In the XMG NEO 15, the Core i9-12900H scores 742 (single-core) and 7355 points (multi-core) in Cinbench R 20, with a CPU score in 3D Mark Time Spy of 14645 points. In contrast, a Core i7-12700H, also running with OASIS water cooling in the NEO 15, achieves 696 (CB R20, single), 7147 (CB R20, multi) and 13768 points (Time Spy CPU score).<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"geforce-rtx-up-to-3080-ti-wqhd-display-ddr5-4800-and-plenty-of-storage\"><\/span>GeForce RTX up to 3080 Ti, WQHD display, DDR5-4800 and plenty of storage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>The rest of the XMG NEO 15&#8217;s specifications remain unchanged. The laptop still offers the choice between a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, 3070 Ti or 3060 with the maximum performance envelope specified by NVIDIA. The upgrade to the Core i9-12900H, however, requires at least the 3070 Ti. Other features include a 240 Hz WQHD IPS display with 350 nits and at least 95 percent sRGB colour space coverage, up to two M.2 SSDs with PCIe 4.0 connection and a maximum of 64 GB socketed DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM.<\/p>\n\n<p>The 360.2 x 243.5 x 26.6 mm part-aluminium chassis weighs 2.2 kg and accommodates a 93 Wh battery as well as the renowned optomechanical RGB keyboard with tactile silent switches and N-key rollover. On the connectivity side, there is Thunderbolt 4 with two 4K-capable DisplayPort streams and connection to the Intel Xe iGPU, HDMI 2.1 with connection to the NVIDIA dGPU, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, three USB A 3.2 ports, a full-size SD card reader and separate audio jacks for microphone and headphones.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"freely-configure-and-buy-xmg-neo-15\"><\/span>Freely configure and buy XMG NEO 15<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>In our partner shop bestware.com you can now freely configure and buy the <a href=\"https:\/\/bestware.com\/en\/xmg-neo-15-intel-e22.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">XMG NEO 15 (E22)<\/a>.
