TESTED: Editing & Rendering 5K Videos on XPS 13 (i7-7560U) Ultrabook

[www.Wudang.academy]

Intel said the new Kaby Lake generation is a beast for video encoding and decoding! Is it true?

When going to a computer store and you ask them if you could render and edit 4k videos on an Ultrabook. All of them would probably tell you to get a real laptop with dedicated graphics. Since Kaby Lake however, this changed and I didn’t believe it myself before trying it. One big secret for onboard video rendering is probably the newest Iris P640 generation. So you need at least an i7-7560U or i7-7660U, I believe most of that render speed comes from the Iris Pro CPUs.

In this following video I show you my results on my DELL XPS 13 with an i7-7560U. I edited and rendered a 4 minutes and 41 seconds long 5K video for my school.

Surprisingly the rendering process goes much faster or almost the same compared to my 6700K Skylake processor and NVIDIA GTX970 in my desktop machine. The CPU usage was at a constant 100% and kept its speed at 2.8GHz. I was rendering in low power mode with no power cable connected.

This doesn’t mean the i7-7560U is a power horse for gaming! Hell its a 15watts low power CPU! Most new AAA titles are barely playable at lowest settings. However, for my workload and video editing needs this Ultrabook proofed to be worth it. I choose the XPS 13 because of better thermal temperatures compared to the HP x360.
