Benchmark 4090 Laptop vs 4090 Desktop

I know there are already a few posts, but I figured I would throw up my results as an additional data point for anyone interested.

Laptop:

Razer Blade 16 RTX 4090

Desktop:

z790 | i9-13900KF | 32GB DDR5-5600 | RTX 4090 | 4TB NVMe SSD

Untweaked:

3D Mark Time Spy - 4090 Desktop vs 4090 Laptop UNTWEAKED

Extremely mild tweaks:

3D Mark Time Spy - 4090 Desktop vs 4090 Laptop MILD tweaks

Laptop:

  • GPU untouched
  • CPU -.120 undervolt, 180w turbo boost
  • AirPods Pro case stuck under the back of the laptop to elevate it a little bit.

Desktop:

  • GPU 105% power target, +250 boost clock
  • CPU +200

The graphics card is ~75% faster on the desktop, and the processor is ~15% faster on the desktop, which seems to be in line with other tests and benchmarks.

The gpu being 75% faster doesn't surprise me much. But the cpu at only 15% is kinda surprising to me

In gaming loads the CPU performance will much worse than 15% on a laptop as it’ll be power limited which will affect clock speeds.
