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 R16 all-round 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 placed above the copper tubes where the CPU and GPU are located. The four air outlets all have large-area heat dissipation fins, and the materials used for heat dissipation are relatively solid. The fins are also covered with silent sponge to prevent the body from vibrating and making abnormal noise when the fan is fully turned on. COLORFIRE MEOW R16 all-in-one notebook has two M.2 hard drive bays, both of which support PCIe 4.0. The built-in SSD is a 1TB Western Digital SN540, which is installed on the hard drive on the right. Perhaps due to cost control, it only supports PCIe 3.0. Friends who have higher requirements for hard drive performance can upgrade and expand by themselves. Under the D-shell SSD, the COLORFIRE MEOW R16 all-rounder also has two metal plates attached to assist the SSD in heat dissipation. COLORFIRE MEOW R16 all-round notebook has 2 memory slots and comes standard with a single 16GB DDR5 5600MHz memory. In terms of network cards, the COLORFIRE MEOW R16 all-rounder comes standard with an intel AX210 Gigabit network card, supporting Wi-Fi 6e wireless networks and Bluetooth 5.3. On the right side is a 73Wh battery, which is much larger than the R15’s 53Wh battery. 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 a 15-minute single-baking FPU. The power consumption of Ryzen 9-7845HX can be maintained at 111W, the temperature is 92.5°C, and the CPU frequency of 12 full-performance cores is maintained at 4.3GHz. about. Next, bake the GPU alone for 15 minutes. At the beginning of the baking process, the power consumption of the RTX4070 can soar to 140W, running at full power. After 15 minutes, the GPU power consumption remains at 115W, and the GPU temperature is only 78.4 degrees. The memory temperature is only 72.6 degrees, and the GPU frequency is about 2160MHz. Compared with the small-sized R15, the power consumption of the graphics card is more sufficient, ensuring the performance of the graphics card in high-load scenarios such as large-scale games and professional productivity software. The last part is the double baking session. You can see that the CPU power consumption of the COLORFIRE MEOW R16 all-in-one notebook can reach about 53W, and the CPU core frequency has also dropped to 2.9GHz; while the GPU is still at full power. There is 112W performance release. Thanks to the larger body size and 230W power adapter, the performance of the COLORFIRE MEOW R16 all-round notebook is more fully released than the small R15. In terms of core temperature control, the stacking effect of the heat dissipation part is very obvious, and the temperature of the CPU and GPU is only about 70°C. However, the memory performance of the COLORFIRE MEOW R16 all-in-one notebook is relatively average. Due to the influence of single-channel memory, the actual memory read and write performance is around 3.3W, and the memory latency reaches 94ns. , the performance is similar to R15. In terms of hard drive benchmarks, the 1TB solid state of Western Digital SN540 has average read and write performance. The scores are as shown in the figure above. You can refer to it yourself. If you want to further improve memory and hard drive performance, it is recommended to install additional memory and solid state. In particular, single-channel memory will have a certain impact on subsequent game performance tests.

Game performance

Before testing the game, I would like to emphasize two points as usual. The control center of COLORFIRE MEOW R16 all-round notebook provides 3 performance modes. The fan working mode can be adjusted manually. During the test, we always use performance mode + Turbo fan speed + independent graphics direct connection mode. In the game test session, we still select 4 mainstream games for actual testing. The first game is the most popular online competitive game "CS2". It runs at 2.5K resolution. The game quality remains at the default (high quality) and no other parameters are manually changed. At this time, the average number of frames in the game is 296 frames, 1% Low is 102 frames, and the average latency is 8ms. The second game is the old DX11 game "Shadow of the Tomb Raider". After entering the game, select the highest image quality with 2.5K resolution, turn off DLSS and ray tracing, and the average frame rate reaches 147 frame. The second time we turned on DLSS and adjusted to the quality level to test again, the average frame rate reached 147 frames. For the third 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, with extreme native 2K resolution. The image quality is turned off and ray tracing is run with the built-in benchmark test, and the average number of frames is 92 frames. Turn on light tracing and turn on DLSS to the balanced level and test again. The average number of frames is 96 frames. The last game is "Cyberpunk: 2077". First, we run it in native 2.5K resolution super quality without turning on ray tracing. At this time, the average number of frames is 73.65 frames. Then we turn on DLSS3, turn on super ray tracing quality, and turn on the DLSS2 quality file option. At this time, the average number of frames is 65.22 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 R16 all-round notebook can run smoothly at 2K resolution with more than 60 frames. In terms of battery life, the two electric tigers of Ryzen 9 + RTX4070 are equipped with 73Wh batteries, and the battery life is slightly weak. In the PC Mark 10 modern office battery life test, the COLORFIRE MEOW R16 all-round notebook has a battery life of 2.5 hours. If you are working under high load for a long time, it is recommended to connect it to the power supply.
