Specification	ASUS ROG Strix G18 (2024) G814JIR-N6074X	ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GU605MV
Release year	2024	2024
Processor	Intel Core i9-14900HX: 24 cores, 32 threads, 2.2 GHz base, up to 5.8 GHz, 36 MB cache 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
Graphics	NVIDIA 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; 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. ASUS
Display	18-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	ROG Nebula: 16-inch 2.5K (2560 × 1600) 16:10, IPS-level, anti-glare low-reflection (AGLR); 240 Hz, 3 ms, 100% DCI-P3, G-Sync, Pantone Validated This QP version uses an IPS-level panel; the QR-coded versions have a 0.2 ms OLED panel. ASUS
MUX and graphics switching	MUX Switch + NVIDIA Advanced Optimus The MUX switch connects the display directly to the NVIDIA GPU; Advanced Optimus switches without a restart. ASUS	—
Memory	32 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	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
Storage	2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 2 M.2 PCIe slots in total (including the one in use) 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. ASUS
