ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605MI-QR194X / ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2023) G614JV-BS74-CB

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605MI-QR194X: GU605MI-QR194X: Core Ultra 9 185H, RTX 4070 Laptop GPU 8 GB (105 W = 85 W + 20 W Dynamic Boost), 32 GB LPDDR5X, 2 TB SSD, 240 Hz OLED, Windows 11 Pro; Platinum White in ASUS’s image. The GU605 series spans SKUs from the RTX 4050 to the 4090 and from the Core Ultra 7 155H to the Core Ultra 9 185H; not every GU605MI SKU has the same memory or display.

ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2023) G614JV-BS74-CB: G614JV-BS74-CB: Intel Core i7-13650HX, GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU 8 GB, 16 GB DDR5, 1 TB SSD, 16-inch FHD+ 165 Hz display (Canadian SKU). The RTX 4050 G614JU, the RTX 4070 G614JI and the QHD+ 240 Hz display versions in the same chassis are separate.

Specification	ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605MI-QR194X	ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2023) G614JV-BS74-CB
Release year	2024	2023
Processor	Intel Core Ultra 9 185H: 16 cores, 22 threads, 2.3 GHz base, up to 5.1 GHz, 24 MB cache; Intel AI Boost NPU (up to 11 TOPS) The NPU runs constant AI tasks such as background blur and noise suppression at low power instead of the CPU/GPU. ASUS	Intel Core i7-13650HX; 14 cores (6 performance + 8 efficiency), 2.6 GHz, up to 4.9 GHz, 24 MB cache HX-series chips are near-desktop laptop processors that run at high power limits; fan noise and temperature depend on the ASUS power profile chosen. ASUS
Graphics	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 1655 MHz at 105 W (85 W + 20 W Dynamic Boost) Dynamic Boost shifts a 20 W share of power to the GPU when CPU load is low, so 105 W is a conditional ceiling rather than a constant level. In the same series RTX 4060 SKUs are listed at 100 W and RTX 4080/4090 SKUs at 115 W. The GPU is soldered and cannot be upgraded. ASUS	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 2420 MHz; 140 W (115 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost) 2420 MHz is the 2370 MHz boost clock plus a 50 MHz ASUS overclock. 115 W is the upper power class for the RTX 4060 Laptop; Dynamic Boost shifts spare CPU power to the GPU. The graphics chip is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded. ASUS
Display	16-inch ROG Nebula OLED, 2560 × 1600 (16:10), 240 Hz, 0.2 ms; 100% DCI-P3; G-Sync; Pantone Validated; anti-glare low-reflection (AGLR) coating G-Sync matches the refresh to the game’s frame rate to reduce tearing. It is not a touchscreen. Some SKUs in the same series use an IPS-level panel. ASUS	16-inch FHD+ (1920 × 1200, 16:10); IPS-level, anti-glare; 165 Hz; 7 ms; sRGB 100% 165 Hz shows smoother motion at up to 165 frames per second in games, provided the game reaches that frame rate. “IPS-level” means ASUS does not state the exact panel type. ASUS
MUX and graphics switching	MUX Switch + NVIDIA Advanced Optimus The MUX switch connects the display directly to the NVIDIA GPU, removing the overhead of routing through the integrated GPU in games; Advanced Optimus makes this switch automatically without a restart. ASUS	—
Memory	32 GB LPDDR5X 7467 MHz, soldered to the board; dual channel; not expandable Because memory cannot be added later, capacity has to be chosen at purchase. ASUS	16 GB (2 × 8 GB) DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM; 2 slots; up to 32 GB according to ASUS The memory modules are replaceable; both slots are filled for dual-channel operation. ASUS
Storage	2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 2 M.2 PCIe slots in total (including the one in use) The second M.2 slot allows an additional SSD. ASUS	1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 2 × M.2 PCIe slots The second M.2 slot can take an additional SSD. ASUS
Ports	1 × Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gb/s, DisplayPort, charging); 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (DisplayPort, charging); 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A; HDMI 2.1 FRL; SD card reader (UHS-II, 312 MB/s); 3.5 mm combo audio Both USB-C ports support external displays and charging; there is no Ethernet port. ASUS	1 × Thunderbolt 4 (DisplayPort, 40 Gbit/s); 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (DisplayPort, power delivery, G-SYNC, 10 Gbit/s); 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A; HDMI 2.1 FRL; RJ45 LAN; 3.5 mm audio jack The Thunderbolt 4 port does not accept charging; USB-C charging goes through the other Type-C port. There is no SD card reader. ASUS
Wireless	Wi‑Fi 6E (802.11ax, tri-band) 2×2; Bluetooth 5.2 ASUS notes that Bluetooth features may vary with the OS and drivers. ASUS	Wi‑Fi 6E (triple band, 2 × 2); Bluetooth 5.2 ASUS

Battery and power	90 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; 200 W adapter with rectangular plug; a 100 W USB-C adapter is also listed Which adapter is in the box varies by country and model. Full GPU power should not be expected when charging over USB-C. ASUS	90 Wh, 4-cell lithium-ion; 280 W adapter (ø6.0 mm) The 280 W adapter is needed for full GPU and CPU power; performance drops on battery. ASUS
