ROG has announced that its Zephyrus G16 gaming laptop will now also be powered by AMD’s latest mobile processor – the flagship Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor.
This also means ROG has made the Zephyrus G16 the only gaming notebook in 2024 to be powered by both an Intel or AMD processor, depending on your preferred choice of CPU. If you recall, the Intel-based Zephyrus G16 comes with an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H and was featured in our Best Gaming Laptop feature (read it here).
Like the Intel Core Ultra processor, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 also comes with a built-in NPU. ROG says the XDNA 2 NPU is “capable of 50 TOPS of AI performance”, on top of 31 TOPS from the CPU and its integrated Radeon 890M GPU.
Other parts of the gaming laptop mirror the existing (or older, now) Zephyrus G16 including the CNC-milled aluminium chassis, the customisable Slash Lighting array on the laptop’s lid, and the gorgeous ROG Nebula OLED display. Powering other aspects of the new AMD-powered Zephyrus G16 include an (up to) NVIDA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU that runs with a TGP of 105W and 32GB of DDR5 memory.
Oh, and it’s also the first ROG laptop to support Wi-Fi 7.
The ROG Zephyrus G16 (GA506) is available only in white. Pre-order for it starts from now until 1 August, retailing from S$3,899, on ASUS Online Store, ROG Experience Store Bugis and selected authorised retailers.
