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 i9-13980HX; 24 cores (8 performance + 16 efficiency), 2.2 GHz base, up to 5.6 GHz, 36 MB cache

Intel lists 55 W base and 157 W maximum turbo power for this processor; the laptop’s cooling determines the real sustained power.

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 2420 MHz at 140 W (115 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

ASUS adds a 50 MHz factory overclock to NVIDIA’s 2370 MHz. 115 W is the card’s sustained limit; Dynamic Boost shifts 25 W to the GPU when the CPU load is low. The GPU is soldered and cannot be upgraded.

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 (2 × 16 GB) DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM; 2 slots, up to 32 GB, dual channel

The modules are replaceable, but ASUS gives 32 GB as the maximum for this model; both slots come filled.

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.
