The Asus ROG Strix G16 (2024) is classified as a gaming laptop and comes with a 22 mm thickness across a footprint of 354 mm wide and 264 mm deep, giving it a total volume of 2056.032 cm³. It weighs 2500 g and relies on an active cooling system rather than a fanless design. The chassis includes a backlit keyboard for low-light use, though it carries no weather-sealing or splashproof protection.
The laptop features a 16-inch IPS panel with a 2560 x 1600 px resolution and a pixel density of 188 ppi, paired with a 240 Hz refresh rate suited to fast-paced content. The display does not include a touch screen or an anti-reflection coating. The system supports up to four external displays simultaneously, extending its output flexibility beyond the built-in screen.
The processor runs across 24 cores — eight at 2.2 GHz and sixteen at 1.6 GHz — with a turbo ceiling of 5.8 GHz and 32 threads supported through multithreading, all built on a 5 nm process node. System memory stands at 32GB of DDR5 RAM at 5600 MHz across two slots, which also represents the maximum supported capacity, while storage is handled by a 2048GB NVMe SSD connected via PCIe 4.0. On the graphics side, the GPU operates at a base clock of 1350 MHz and boosts up to 2280 MHz, backed by 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a floating-point throughput of 24.72 TFLOPS, with a texture rate of 386.3 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 133.2 GPixel/s. The system supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and 64-bit processing, but does not include XeSS acceleration.
In CPU benchmarking, the system scores 2680 on the Geekbench 6 single-core test and 15655 on the Geekbench 6 multi-core test, reflecting the processor's threaded workload capacity. The overall PassMark result reaches 45332, with a single-core PassMark score of 4245. Graphics performance is measured at 26235 on the PassMark G3D benchmark, which evaluates GPU rendering capability.
The laptop's port selection includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one USB 4 40Gbps port, and one Thunderbolt 4 port, while USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 4 20Gbps ports are absent. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 connector; there are no DisplayPort or mini DisplayPort outputs, and no VGA connector. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6E, 6, 5, and 4 standards alongside Bluetooth 5.3, and a single RJ45 port provides wired Ethernet. AirPlay is supported, but there is no external memory card slot.
The laptop is equipped with a 90 Wh battery and includes sleep-and-charge USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the system is powered off. It does not use a MagSafe power adapter.
Audio output is handled by stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, and a 3.5 mm headset jack is present alongside a single built-in microphone. The GPU supports both ray tracing and DLSS, and a front-facing camera is included. Biometric options are absent — there is no fingerprint scanner or 3D facial recognition — and the system does not support voice commands. Motion and location sensors are not part of the feature set, meaning no gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, or GPS is included. There is also no S/PDIF output, no optical disc drive, and no stylus bundled with the device.
The CPU is a laptop-type processor with a 150W TDP, a clock multiplier of 22, a maximum operating temperature of 100 °C, and a 36 MB L3 cache, supported by big.LITTLE technology, an NX bit, and a broad set of instruction sets including MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX2, AVX, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2; the multiplier is not unlocked. Integrated graphics are present with 32 execution units, while the dedicated GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and packs 7424 shading units, 232 texture mapping units, 80 ROPs, and 35,800 million transistors, with VRAM running at 2250 MHz over a 192-bit bus for an effective memory speed of 18,000 MHz and a maximum bandwidth of 432 GB/s. The system supports ECC memory across two channels with a maximum RAM speed of 5600 MHz, and the GPU is compatible with OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, stereoscopic 3D, multi-display output, and Double Precision Floating Point. The PassMark DirectCompute result is 12,281, and LHR is not present.
