This site has been measured by a professional color calibrator. The sRGB color gamut volume has reached 135%, the sRGB color gamut coverage is 99%, and the DCI P3 color gamut coverage is also 95.8 %, the screen color performance is good.
In terms of keyboard design, COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming notebook adheres to COLORFIRE’s consistent black keyboard area, semi-transparent white edge keycaps, centered character design, and the lower right corner of the palm rest There is a big MEOW double letter decoration.
However, this time the four commonly used WASD keys have been replaced with orange shadow paint, and there is also a red cat paw pattern printed on the surface, which is very eye-catching. The keyboard is full size, has its own numeric keypad area, and supports color backlighting. The long power button with a white indicator light is placed independently in the upper right corner of the keyboard.
The palm rest areas on the left and right sides of the touchpad are also decorated with cat claw patterns. The touchpad is medium in size and positioned to the left. The surface is made of plastic material and has a good touch and pressing feel. Moderate.
D There is not much to say about the design of the shell. The large air inlet covers more than half of the area, and the screws on the surface are arranged neatly.
In terms of interfaces, the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming notebook has a three-way distribution design. The back of the fuselage provides an RJ45 port, an HDMI interface, a DC power interface and a USB-C (supports DP1.4) interface.
The left side of the fuselage provides a USB3.2 Type-A interface and a 3.5mm audio interface.
On the right side of the fuselage is the 1A1C USB3.2 interface, of which the C port supports up to 100W PD charging.
COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 uses a high-end configuration combination this time, namely Ryzen 7 8845HS processor RTX 4070 laptop graphics card, which is enough to meet mainstream performance needs.
In terms of CPU, the Ryzen 7 8845HS processor adopts 4nm advanced process technology and AMD’s latest Zen 4 architecture, with 8 cores and 16 threads, and a maximum acceleration frequency of 5.1GHz. , L3 cache is 16MB, and supports Ryzen AI engine. Compared with the more familiar Ryzen 7 7840H, there is not much difference in performance, but the performance in terms of energy efficiency is improved. The core graphics performance of Radeon 780M is very powerful, and it can satisfy daily office work and basic competitive online gaming experience even if it only uses core graphics.
In terms of independent graphics, the 8GB video memory RTX 4070 laptop graphics card has 4608 CUDA cores. It is based on the NVIDIA Lovelace architecture and supports ray tracing, DLSS 3.5 and other technologies, which can greatly improve game performance.
Next, let’s measure the theoretical performance of the 8845HS processor and RTX 4070 laptop GPU. The first is the CineBench R23 test. The COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming laptop scored 1789 points in single-core and 16155 points in multi-core. Its single-core performance is quite outstanding among the 8845HS machines we have tested, and its multi-core performance is comparable to the Ryzen 7 7840H.
Next is the 3D Mark CPU Profile project test. The single-thread score of the CPU exceeds 1000 points, and the maximum thread score reaches 7628 points, which is the same as the Ryzen 7 7840H The gap can't be widened either.
Then we opened 3D Mark’s Time Spy stress test for stability inspection. Generally, the score is required to be higher than 97% to pass the test and the performance is qualified. The COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming laptop achieved a final score of 99% in the 20-round Time Spy cycle, successfully passing the test.
In the 3D Mark Time Spy benchmark test that represents DX12 game performance, the graphics card score of the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming laptop reached 12277 points, compared to the CPU’s 9207 points More powerful.
In 3D Mark’s Time Spy Extreme test, the graphics card score of the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming notebook is close to 5800 points. It seems that it has the latest DX12 game support and performance. , an RTX 4070 laptop graphics card should do the job with ease.
In the 3D Mark Fire Strike test, which represents DX11 game performance, the graphics card score of the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming notebook reached 32103 points, and the physical score also reached 23359 points.
In the 3D Mark Fire Strike Extreme test, the graphics card score of the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming notebook exceeded 15,000 points, and the physical score continued to remain above 2.3W points. Judging from the above running score performance, the RTX 4070 graphics card has no problem controlling 3A games at 2.5K resolution.
In terms of daily office and productivity performance, due to some reasons, some tests could not be completed. For example, V-Ray’s benchmark test ran regardless of whether it was the old version 5.2 or the new version 6.0. All crashed and reported errors, so we also changed some test items. Thanks to the strong productivity performance of the RTX 4070, in the modern office test of PC Mark 10, the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming laptop scored a total score of 9357 points. Among them, the digital content creation score was outstanding, with a total score of 17298 points, and the sub-scores were evenly matched. Breaking ten thousand.
In the benchmark test of version 4.0 of blender, a professional modeling software that focuses on CPU 3D rendering performance, the three-scene rendering scores of COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 were 1907, 870 and 974 points respectively. The performance is evenly matched with the i7-13700H next door, and it can meet the academic needs of students and the professional office work of office workers.
In the OctaneBench professional test that focuses on GPU rendering performance, the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming laptop scored 400.91 points, which is fully capable of meeting the rendering needs of large projects.
So what about the performance of memory and hard disk? Let’s first take a look at the internal structure of the machine through disassembly. The disassembly of the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming laptop is relatively simple. Remove all the screws on the D side and pry open the surrounding buckles to remove the bottom case. The interior of the fuselage is designed with large twin turbo fans and 6 heat-conducting copper tubes, and a vapor chamber is also covered above the copper tubes where the CPU and GPU are located.
Regarding the combination of memory and hard drive, there is an empty M.2 hard drive slot on the left side, and 2 memory slots in the middle. The standard configuration is a single Micron 16GB DDR5 5600MHz memory. , there is an M.2 hard drive slot on the right side, and it is equipped with a 512GB COLORFIRE brand solid state.
There is an independent network card slot below the M.2 hard drive on the left, with the standard Intel AX210 Gigabit network card, and a 53Wh capacity battery on the right. Overall, the internal heat dissipation stack is still in place. We will look at the specific performance release and temperature performance below.
The first is to single-bake the FPU for 20 minutes. The power consumption of 8845HS can be maintained at 54W, the temperature is only 74.5 degrees, and the CPU frequency of the 8 full-performance cores is maintained at 4.0 Around GHz.
Then bake the GPU for 20 minutes. At this time, the GPU power consumption remains at 105W. The GPU temperature is also not high, only 78.4 degrees, and the video memory temperature is only 78 degrees. The GPU frequency is around 1800MHz.
The last step is the double baking session. Directly increase the pressure baking machine for 30 minutes. You can see that the CPU power consumption of the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming notebook has reached 30W, and the CPU core frequency is It has also dropped to 3.1GHz; the corresponding power consumption is mostly allocated to the GPU, and the 110W graphics card consumes more power, ensuring the performance of the graphics card in high-load scenarios such as large-scale games and professional productivity software. In terms of core temperature control, the stacking effect of the heat dissipation part is very obvious. The CPU temperature is only over 70 degrees, and the GPU temperature is less than 80 degrees.
However, the memory performance is relatively average. Due to the influence of single-channel memory, the actual memory read and write performance is around 3.1W-4.2W. The latency reached 93ns.
In terms of hard drive benchmark scores, Colorful’s own 512GB solid state has average read and write performance. The scores are as shown in the figure above. You can refer to it yourself. It is recommended that friends who plan to buy this gaming notebook should install additional memory and solid state. In particular, single-channel memory will have a certain impact on subsequent game performance tests.
Before testing the game, I would like to emphasize two points as usual. The control center of the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming notebook provides 3 performance modes, and also supports independent display output and mixed output. Switching between the two display modes, the fan working mode can also be adjusted manually. During the test, we always used the performance mode, automatic fan speed, independent display direct connection mode.
In the game test session, we still selected 6 mainstream games for actual testing. Considering that the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 game notebook is equipped with a 2.5K resolution high-resolution screen and the graphics card is equipped with RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, so the game performance at 1080P resolution will not be tested this time. The main focus is on the game performance at 2K resolution.
The first game is the most popular online competitive game "CS2". It runs at 2K resolution and the game quality remains the default (high quality). Change other parameters manually. At this time, the average number of frames in the game is 217 frames, and the average latency is 12ms; after turning on the NVIDIA Reflex option in the image quality options, the latency is reduced to 8ms.
The second game is the old DX11 game "Shadow of the Tomb Raider". After entering the game, select the highest image quality of 2K resolution, DLSS select the quality level, and average frames The number came to 135 frames.
The third game is "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey", which tests the comprehensive performance of the CPU and GPU. The average frame number of most mainstream graphics cards is lower than similar games, so Also nicknamed by players as "all beings are equal", the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming laptop has an average frame rate of 65 frames at the highest 2K resolution. There is no problem with smooth operation, but the lowest frame rate of 23 is still a bit low.
The fourth game is the very popular Japanese RPG "Dragon Among Us 8" which was just released. This game also supports the DLSS option. After entering the game We first tested with the highest quality 2K preset, and the average number of frames in street running was 73. It can be seen that the game has relatively high requirements for graphics card performance.
Then based on this setting, we further open the DLSS 3 and DLSS 2 quality files in the image quality options. At this time, the average number of frames of the game is greatly improved, increasing At the average score of 149 frames, judging from the FrameView monitoring data in the upper left corner, the graphics card is almost full, and the CPU usage is only about 30% on average. Therefore, the RTX 4070 laptop graphics card has made a great contribution.
For the fifth game, we chose "Forza Horizon 5", which has excellent optimization capabilities. As a game that supports ray tracing, it also puts a lot of pressure on the graphics card. Running the built-in benchmark test at native 2K resolution extreme quality, the average number of frames was 88 frames.
The amazing thing is that when we turned on the DLSS 2 quality file DLSS 3 option and tested again, the average number of frames was only 4 frames different. This was true after repeated tests. , it should be a BUG.
The last game is of course "Cyberpunk: 2077", which is reserved for NVIDIA's technology testing field. First, we run it in native 2K resolution super quality without turning on the light. Chase, the average number of frames at this time is 61 frames.
Then we turned on the DLSS3 light reconstruction DLSS2 quality file, and the average number of frames reached 91 frames.
Turn on super light tracing quality, and turn on the DLSS3 light reconstruction DLSS2 quality file option. At this time, the average number of frames is 64 frames.
Turn on ultra-fast ray tracing quality and turn on DLSS 3.5 DLSS2 balanced file. The average number of frames at this time is 53 frames. It can be said that as long as you are not pursuing the highest level of light tracing effect, the RTX 4070 laptop graphics card on the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming notebook can run smoothly at 2K resolution with more than 60 frames.
In terms of battery life, as a gaming laptop with a battery capacity of only 53Wh, I actually don’t have high hopes. However, in the modern office battery life test of PC Mark 10, COLORFIRE The MEOW R15 2024 gaming notebook has a battery life of 5 hours and 51 minutes. In actual use, it can last for more than 3 hours, and the performance is not bad.
In my opinion, the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming notebook accurately meets the young consumer group’s pursuit of high performance and cost-effectiveness, and the Ryzen 7 8845HS and RTX 4070 both take care of it. The hardware combination of high performance and energy efficiency only costs 6,999 yuan, which is undoubtedly very attractive to young people. Because its performance in both gaming and productivity is impeccable, but the configuration of memory and hard drive is a bit regretful. I hope COLORFIRE can pay more attention to the balance of peripheral configuration.
In terms of design, the COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 gaming laptop has its own ideas. It breaks away from the constraints of gaming laptops that do not use bright colors. The bold orange color The painting is both individual and innovative. It feels like holding an oversized 3DS handheld console, giving the good-looking party one more choice. We must know that in the minds of many users, appearance is as important as performance and function when purchasing. Of course, we also hope that the COLORFIRE MEOW series will be launched in orange and white paint combinations in the future. I believe that appearance will be further improved and more trendy. .
Don’t rush away yet, COLORFIRE MEOW R15 2024 is currently participating in the back-to-school season launch promotion on JD.com, with an additional 300 yuan discount on the listing price of 6,999 yuan.
