CPU
Power, meet efficiency
Power through any game or project with an Intel® Core™ i9 Processor 14900HX, featuring up to a 65W TDP and a hybrid architecture built from the ground up for Windows 11 Pro. With up to 8 Performance-cores and 16 Efficient-cores and Intel's latest Application Optimization technology increasing frames rates to up to 40% in supported titles, AAA gaming is flawless and streaming is effortless.
*The performance is tested in a laboratory, actual FPS performance may vary by device and configuration.
GPU
Graphics Unleashed
Top-tier components require power, especially when it comes to maximizing your GPU’s performance. Powered by NVIDIA DLSS 3, ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace arch, and Max-Q Technologies, the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4090 Laptop GPU is fully unleashed with a max TGP of 175W with Dynamic Boost.
NVIDIA® Advanced Optimus
With NVIDIA® Advanced Optimus, the laptop can automatically route frames from the discrete GPU directly to the display using a MUX switch, bypassing the integrated graphics. This pathing improves performance 5-10% compared to machines without a MUX Switch, making sure you get the absolute best gaming experience—all without needing touch a single button. This automatic switching also preserves your machine's battery life, as it can dynamically transition between the high power discrete GPU and the lower power integrated GPU. No matter what you’re doing, your machine will switch to the most optimized mode without you having to lift a finger.
Blazing Fast DDR5 Memory
The Strix SCAR 16 leverages cutting-edge DDR5 5600MHz memory modules with 17% faster speeds than the 4800MHz kits. This ultra-fast memory makes all aspects of the laptop feel snappy, from intense gaming to light web browsing.
