These GPUs are designed to provide high performance for gaming and content creation, supporting advanced features such as ray tracing and AI-enhanced graphics. The ROG Boost technology allows for increased clock speeds and power delivery, enhancing the performance of the GPUs.
The RTX 4070 variant, while offering solid performance, is noted to run hotter than most other laptops with the same GPU due to the slim chassis design. This is despite the inclusion of three fans and liquid metal cooling from Thermal Grizzly. The power budget for the RTX 4070 is lower than some competitors, which affects game performance slightly, making it up to 10% slower than laptops like the Lenovo Legion 7i with the same GPU.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/gaming-laptops/asus-rog-zephyrus-g16-2024-ga605-review/#:~:text=The%20G16%20can%20be%20anywhere%20between%20less%20than%201%25%20slower%20and%2010%25%20slower%20than%20the%20Lenovo%20Legion%207i%2C%20despite%20containing%20the%20same%20GPU. |title=Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GA605 review |publisher=PCGamer |accessdate=2024-08-30}}</ref>


The RTX 4070 in the G16 is rated at 105 W, which is lower than some competitors like the Gigabyte Aorus 16X at 140 W and Lenovo Legion 7i 16 Gen 9 at 130 W. This results in the G16 being up to 10% slower than the Lenovo Legion 7i in gaming performance, despite having the same GPU. However, the lower power budget allows for quieter cooling and better battery life.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/gaming-laptops/asus-rog-zephyrus-g16-2024-ga605-review/#:~:text=The%20G16%20can%20be%20anywhere%20between%20less%20than%201%25%20slower%20and%2010%25%20slower%20than%20the%20Lenovo%20Legion%207i |title=Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GA605 review |publisher=PCGamer |accessdate=2024-08-30}}</ref>
The RTX 4090 variant offers high performance but is limited by the slim design, which affects cooling efficiency. The GPU performance is stable during long gaming sessions, but the laptop runs hotter compared to other models with the same GPU.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-Zephyrus-G16-laptop-review-A-slim-gamer-with-an-RTX-4090-and-unfulfilled-potential.862201.0.html#:~:text=The%20RTX%204090%20variant%20offers%20high%20performance%20but%20is%20limited%20by%20the%20slim%20design%2C%20which%20affects%20cooling%20efficiency. |title=Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 laptop review |publisher=Notebookcheck |accessdate=2024-08-30}}</ref>
 
The RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, when paired with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, performs well in gaming, with all tested games running smoothly at QHD resolution and maximum details. However, in battery mode, the GPU's power consumption is limited to 42 watts, resulting in a 28% decrease in performance.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-Zephyrus-G16-2024-review-The-slim-gaming-laptop-now-with-AMD-Zen-5.877382.0.html#:~:text=The%20combination%20of%20the%C2%A0RTX%204060%20Laptop%20and%20the%C2%A0Ryzen%20AI%209%20HX%20370%20means%20the%20laptop%20does%20a%20great%20job%20when%20gaming%2C%20too |title=Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) review: The slim gaming laptop now with AMD Zen 5 |publisher=NotebookCheck |accessdate=2024-08-30}}</ref>
 
The RTX 4090, despite being the most powerful option, is limited by the slim chassis and 115W TGP, resulting in performance that is not significantly better than the RTX 4080 in larger laptops with higher TGPs.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/gaming-laptops/asus-rog-zephyrus-g16-2024-review/#:~:text=While%20the%20Zephyrus%20G16%20puts%20on%20a%20good%20showing%20at%201440p%2C%20managing%20to%20beat%20or%20come%20close%20to%20the%20Asus%20ROG%20Zephyrus%20G14%20(2023) |title=Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) review |publisher=PCGamer |accessdate=2024-08-30}}</ref>

Primary Hardware

This section was written by AI and requires review. Remove this after review.

Processor

The ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) can be configured with the following processors[1]:

  • Intel Core Ultra 9 185H with 16 cores and 22 threads, a base clock speed of 2.3 GHz, and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.1 GHz. It includes an Intel AI Boost NPU for enhanced AI processing capabilities.
  • AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 with 12 cores and 24 threads, a base clock speed of 2.0 GHz, and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.1 GHz. It features an AMD XDNA NPU with up to 50 TOPS for AI tasks.

The processors are designed to handle demanding tasks and gaming applications efficiently. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor includes new Zen 5 and Zen 5c architectures, with the Zen 5 cores having access to 16 MB of L3 cache and the Zen 5c cores having 8 MB. It also features a Radeon 890M integrated GPU, which is an improvement over the previous generation's 780M, offering better low-power 1080p gaming performance.[2]

The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor is part of the new Meteor Lake generation, which offers improved performance over the previous Raptor Lake chips, although its single-core performance is slightly weaker. The multi-core performance remains constant, and the CPU performance is stable even on battery power.[3]

Benchmarks:

  • Cinebench R23:
    • Intel Core Ultra 9 185H: ~17267 pts (multi-core), ~1681 pts (single-core)[4]

Graphics

The ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) offers several discrete GPU options:[1]

The RTX 4070 variant, while offering solid performance, is noted to run hotter than most other laptops with the same GPU due to the slim chassis design. This is despite the inclusion of three fans and liquid metal cooling from Thermal Grizzly. The power budget for the RTX 4070 is lower than some competitors, which affects game performance slightly, making it up to 10% slower than laptops like the Lenovo Legion 7i with the same GPU.[5]

The RTX 4090 variant offers high performance but is limited by the slim design, which affects cooling efficiency. The GPU performance is stable during long gaming sessions, but the laptop runs hotter compared to other models with the same GPU.[6]

Benchmarks:

  • 3DMark Time Spy:
    • RTX 4070: ~10989 pts[7]

Memory

The ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) comes with onboard LPDDR5X memory, available in configurations of 16 GB (2x8) or 32 GB (2x16), with a rated speed of 7467 MHz. The memory is dual-channel and soldered onto the motherboard, meaning it is not user-upgradable. This is a downside for users who may want to upgrade their RAM in the future.[8]

Storage

The laptop is equipped with a PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, available in 1 TB or 2 TB configurations. The G16 model includes a spare NVMe slot, allowing for storage upgrades without replacing the existing drive.[9]

The storage performance is good, with the WD PC SN560 SSD providing consistent transfer rates even under load. However, it is not the fastest SSD available on the market.[10]

Benchmarks:

  • CrystalDiskMark 8:
    • WD PC SN560: ~4970 MB/s (read), ~3496 MB/s (write)[11]

Co-processors

The ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) includes an Intel AI Boost NPU or AMD XDNA NPU, which enhances AI processing capabilities for tasks that require machine learning and AI computations.[1]

The OLED screen is described as vibrant and punchy, making it ideal for gaming and media consumption.[15]

The display supports a 240 Hz refresh rate and G-Sync, providing smooth visuals for gaming. The OLED panel offers excellent color accuracy and contrast, with a peak brightness of 455 cd/m² in HDR mode.[16]

Audio

The laptop is equipped with a 4-speaker system, including dual force woofers and two tweeters, enhanced by Smart Amplifier Technology and Dolby Atmos. The speakers are noted for their punchy sound, providing a high-quality audio experience that includes meaningful bass and mid-range tones.[17]
