This chip had a weird issue where it was detecting the Radeon 780M iGPU as the Radeon 760M. Due to unreleased drivers and the ES state of the chip, the 3DMark score wasn't up to mark but we can't blame anyone for that since this is a very early product and the final version is months away from launch.
Press Release: XMG's APEX series receives a complete makeover in time for Computex. The APEX 15 and APEX 17 not only feature completely redesigned chassis but are also XMG's first gaming laptops with
