DELL PRECISION 7510 VS 7520 ▀ PERFORMANCE COMPARISON

It’s been a while since i’ve posted useless table comparisions. So here is one!
Recently i bought second-hand Dell Precision 7520 in very good condition.
Purchased it as an emergency backup for future use.
Neat laptops will be hard to find in my country due to tech sanctions.

7510 model is based around Sky Lake architecture [E3-1545Mv5] .
7520 model is based around Kaby Lake architecture [E3-1535Mv6] .
Differences between E3-1545Mv5 and E3-1535Mv6 are marginal, but they exist.

Cinebench R20
E3-1545Mv5 – 1564pts
E3-1535Mv6 – 1652pts

Some pure random benchmarks made in Aida64.

Despite the fact that 7520 model is based around more modern motherboard CM238 chipset. There is a substantial performance hit in terms of memory performance. I link this to a recent BIOS update [2022], which was aimed to fix cpu vulnerabilities.

In other benchmarks we get a little boost in terms of performance.

I must say that i’m pretty satisfied with Quadro M2xxx performance.
Chip is somewhere around [Geforce 1050Ti] in terms of raw power.
And it is quite a lot for the 2018 laptop.

This concludes breif performance comparison of two last laptops, which are natively capable of running Windows 7 without any trickery.
