ProcessorIntel Core i9-14900HX: 24 cores, 32 threads, 2.2 GHz base, up to 5.8 GHz, 36 MB cache ASUSAMD Ryzen 7 8845HS: 8 cores, 16 threads, 3.8 GHz, up to 5.1 GHz, 24 MB cache; AMD XDNA NPU up to 16 TOPS

The NPU is a dedicated unit for running some Windows AI features without loading the CPU or GPU. ASUS also sells this chassis in Ryzen 9 8945H SKUs.

ASUS
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 2225 MHz at 140 W (115 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

140 W is the top of NVIDIA’s allowed power range for the RTX 4070 Laptop GPU; the 25 W Dynamic Boost share moves to the GPU when CPU load is low. The GPU is soldered to the board.

ASUS		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; 1940 MHz at 140 W (1890 MHz boost + 50 MHz OC; 115 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

140 W is the maximum GPU power when Dynamic Boost borrows budget from the CPU: 25 W is added to the sustained 115 W depending on load. This laptop GPU is not the same product as the desktop RTX 4060.

Display18-inch ROG Nebula, 2560 × 1600 (16:10), IPS-level, 240 Hz, 3 ms; 100% DCI-P3; G-Sync; Pantone Validated; anti-glare

240 Hz shows motion more smoothly and with less blur in fast games; G-Sync matches the refresh to the frame rate to reduce tearing.

ASUS		15.6-inch Full HD (1920 × 1080) 16:9, anti-glare; 144 Hz; 100% sRGB, 72% NTSC, 75.35% Adobe; G-Sync

144 Hz shows motion smoothly when games reach up to 144 frames per second; G-Sync matches refresh to frame rate to reduce tearing. 100% sRGB suits web and game content; it is not a wide-gamut panel.

Memory32 GB (2 × 16 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM); 2 SO-DIMM slots, dual channel

Because both slots are filled, upgrading means replacing the installed modules; memory speed depends on the processor’s support.

ASUS		DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM, two slots, dual channel; up to 64 GB (2 × 8 GB or 2 × 16 GB depending on SKU)

The modules are not soldered; going higher means replacing the installed modules. ASUS says memory speed varies by CPU.
