According to our benchmarks<\/a>, the Core Ultra X9 388H<\/a> enjoys a modest 3% performance boost over the Core Ultra X7 358H<\/a>. This gap stretches to around 10% in some tasks, though. The Core Ultra X9 388H<\/a> should not overpower the Swift 16’s cooling system either, considering the low temperatures and fan noise<\/a> of our Core Ultra X7 358H<\/a> unit under maximum load.<\/p>\n

The Core Ultra X9 388H<\/a> model carries over 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB of storage from its less powerful counterpart, though. Also, Acer’s new option features the same 2.8K and 120 Hz OLED display, which averaged 400 nits in SDR mode under our tests. Moreover, the Swift 16 (SF16-71T) weighs just 1.5 kg, despite its 16-inch form factor and 70 Wh battery.<\/p>\n

Acer charges $1,899 for the Core Ultra X9 388H<\/a> in the US and \u00a31,899 in the UK. At the time of writing, this pricing represents a $100 uplift over the Core Ultra X7 358H<\/a> version in the US. By contrast, the Core Ultra X9 388H<\/a> is \u00a3400 more expensive in the UK at the time of publication.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to our benchmarks, the Core Ultra X9 388H enjoys a modest 3% performance boost over the Core…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":783001,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[277102,277105,277101,277103,61938,277094,277095,214,49,48,277100,215,21631,277098,277099,207,213,206,216,212,208,209,277104,277096,277097,61,211,210],"class_list":["post-783000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-120-hz-oled","tag-2-8k-oled","tag-32-gb-ram","tag-3k-oled","tag-acer","tag-acer-swift","tag-acer-swift-16","tag-benchmarks","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-core-ultra-x9-388h","tag-graphics-card","tag-intel","tag-intel-core-ultra","tag-intel-core-ultra-x9","tag-laptop","tag-netbook","tag-notebook","tag-processor","tag-reports","tag-review","tag-reviews","tag-sf16-71t-9372","tag-swift-16-ai","tag-swift-16-ai-sf16-71t","tag-technology","tag-test","tag-tests"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/783000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=783000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/783000\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/783001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=783000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=783000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=783000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
