Release year20242024
ProcessorIntel Core i9-14900HX; 24 cores (8 performance + 16 efficiency), 32 threads, up to 5.8 GHz, 36 MB cache

Intel lists 55 W base and 157 W maximum turbo power for this processor; the laptop’s actual limit is set by ASUS’s operating mode.

ASUS		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 is a separate unit for running AI tasks at low power. Intel lists 45 W base and 115 W maximum turbo power for this processor.

ASUS
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU, 12 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 2330 MHz at 175 W (150 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

NVIDIA gives a 60–150 W subsystem power range for this GPU; the 175 W figure includes the 25 W added by Dynamic Boost when CPU load is low. The graphics chip is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be replaced.

ASUS		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 1940 MHz at 100 W (85 W + 15 W Dynamic Boost)

Because of the thin chassis, the power limit is lower than in thicker gaming laptops that run the same GPU at up to 140 W, which can mean lower frame rates under load. The GPU is soldered.

Memory64 GB (2 × 32 GB) DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; 2 slots, up to 64 GB

Both slots come filled in this configuration; upgrading memory means replacing the modules.

ASUS		32 GB LPDDR5X-7467 soldered on board; not upgradeable

ASUS states there is no memory slot in this configuration; capacity must be chosen at purchase.

ASUS
Storage2 TB + 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD (RAID 0); 2 × M.2 slots

RAID 0 combines the two drives into one volume; speed goes up, but if one drive fails all data can be lost.

ASUS		2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 2 × M.2 PCIe slots

The second M.2 slot is for an additional SSD.
