The ASUS ROG Strix Z13 gaming laptop has unexpectedly surfaced in a benchmark leak, providing a glimpse into its exceptional performance capabilities, thanks to the power of its AMD Ryzen 9 7950H processor. Earlier iterations of the system utilized an Intel CPU paired with an Nvidia RTX 4060 laptop computer GPU; however, AMD’s innovative “Strix Halo” chip has dramatically altered this configuration.
Given the significant advancements in CPU architecture, future AMD-powered gaming laptops and handheld gaming PCs will likely boast exceptional performance capabilities, successfully leveraging the power of an additional processor chip.
According to a recent report, the latest intel on the upcoming PC chip stems from Geekbench, a well-known platform for benchmarking and testing computer processing units. The benchmarking software program typically uploads check runs to its online database, allowing CPU investigators to track down the execution of newly announced or untested hardware. Here’s the rewritten text:
The hardware in question is the forthcoming second-generation Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 gaming tablet, successor to the original ROG Motion Z13.
The upcoming iteration of this system is reportedly powered by a combination of AMD’s Ryzen Max+ 395 processor and Radeon 8060S graphics, replacing the previously anticipated Intel Core i9-13900H CPU and Nvidia RTX 4060 laptop computer GPU.
The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor has already surfaced in leaks, with an earlier sighting of the Ryzen AI Max+ Professional 395 benchmark also making waves. For the first time, we’ve witnessed the chip’s integration into a functional gaming console.
Despite the benchmark’s limitations, it still conveys significant information about the chip’s graphical capabilities. While this Geekbench test measures the CPU’s energy efficiency, which is satisfactory, it isn’t necessarily the most captivating aspect of this chip? It’s these earlier leaks that demonstrate the remarkable impact this chip will have on gaming performance, underscoring its potential for exceptional efficiency.
The leaks have verified that the chip can be equipped with 2,560 GPU stream processors, a significant advantage over the PS5’s architecture and sufficient to surpass an RTX 4060, effortlessly producing over 100 frames per second in Forza Horizon 5 at 1080p using medium graphics settings.
With a rating based on the CPU, it’s evident that the 16 Zen 5 cores in this processor outperform AMD’s current flagship laptop processor offerings by a significant margin. The Strix Halo chip outperforms the Ryzen 9 7945HX and its 3D V-Cache variant by approximately 5,000 and 4,000 times, respectively.
The early leaks suggest that the CPU powering this unannounced ROG Z13 refresh will be a formidable gaming processor, even before its official unveiling. We wouldn’t have time to linger anyway. At the upcoming CES 2025 trade show in Las Vegas next month, AMD is poised to release several bulletins, including updates related to its newly introduced AI Max+ 395 CPU.
AMD’s next-generation desktop GPUs are expected to debut, potentially injecting excitement into the list of top-rated graphics cards. At CES, Asus takes center stage, showcasing both its flagship models and ROG gaming lineup on distinct occasions.
