Samsung introduced its latest laptop
this week, designed primarily for gamers. The new Samsung Notebook Odyssey Z is
based on Intel Core i7 processors with six cores and the GeForce GTX 1060 GPU
of NVIDIA with Max-P tuning. Like 15.6-inch Max-Q designs, the Odyssey Z has a
Z height of less than 18 mm. Samsung promises, however, that it will be faster
than other ultra-thin gaming PCs with the same GPU.
Samsung says the Odyssey Z gaming
notebook will be based on Intel's 8th generation Core i7 processor with six
cores, but does not specify its model number. The natural candidates are
obviously the Core i7-8750H and the Core i7-8850H, but it remains to be seen
whether Samsung will choose a faster or a cheaper one. Samsung wants to use the
GeForce GTX 1060 from NVIDIA with 6 GB of GDDR5 memory in the so-called Max-P
configuration. Samsung says the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-P part will deliver 10%
more power than the same GPU in its Max-Q configuration, but will not continue
running. It is logical to assume that Max-P designs have higher frequencies
compared to Max-Q designs, but still use the highest quality VRMs with minimal
losses, sophisticated GPUs, and advanced thermal solutions.
Update 4/17: Samsung has deleted the
mention of Max-P and Max-Q from the press release on its website. Whether this
means that the Odyssey Z operates only a full-fledged GeForce GTX 1060 for
notebooks remains to be seen. Speaking of thermals: Note that the Samsung
notebook Odyssey Z uses the company's Z AeroFlow cooling system, which is
described as "thin, lightweight yet efficient" (according to the
manufacturer). Samsung says that the Z AeroFlow relies on a huge "Dynamic
Spread" vapor chamber, a blower (or two?) As well as huge vents on the
bottom, top and sides of the chassis, vented from the bottom and top, then
vented she from the openings on the sides). Considering that the CPU and GPU
used by the Odyssey Z emit over 100 W of heat, these large openings are
estimated.
To further enhance the internal
design of the premium gaming notebook, Samsung opted for a rather
unconventional layout and pushed the keyboard towards the user, placing the
trackpad on the right side of the case. We've seen this layout with the ASUS
Zephyrus and the Acer Predator Triton 700, but these notebooks have much more
powerful GeForce GTX 1070/1080 GPUs with Max-Q tuning.
Other components of the Samsung
Odyssey Z look pretty ordinary for a thin gaming laptop: a 15.6-inch IPS FHD
display with a 720p webcam top, up to 16GB of DDR4-2400 memory. For
connectivity, the notebook features an 802.11ac Wi-Fi + Bluetooth module, a USB
3.0 Type-C port, three USB Type-A ports, an HDMI output and a TRRS audio jack.
The Samsung notebook Odyssey Z is a mixed bag in terms of portability. The PC
is 17.9 mm thick, which is thinner than many modern laptops (and corresponds to
the Max-Q designs, which tend to offer better GPUs). However, it is 375.6 mm
wide and weighs 2.4 kilograms, which is wider and heavier than, for example,
the GIGABYTE Aero 15. The large display frames contribute to this. Samsung
plans to equip the PC with a 54 Wh battery, but it makes no estimates of the
battery life of the system.
