The Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) G615 is a gaming laptop with a physical footprint of 354 mm wide, 268 mm deep, and 22 mm thick, giving it a relatively compact profile for its category. It has a total volume of 2087.184 cm³ and weighs 2730 g. The chassis includes a backlit keyboard but does not use a fanless design, meaning active cooling is present. It is neither weather-sealed nor built to a rugged standard, placing it firmly in the conventional gaming laptop category rather than any hardened or outdoor-oriented use case.
The laptop features a 16″ IPS LED-backlit LCD panel running at a 2560 x 1600 resolution with a pixel density of 188 ppi. Its 240Hz refresh rate makes it well-suited for fast-paced content, while the absence of a touch screen and anti-reflection coating are worth noting for those with specific workflow needs. The system supports up to four simultaneous displays, offering flexibility for multi-monitor setups.
The system is equipped with 16GB of DDR5 RAM running at 5600 MHz across two slots, with a maximum supported capacity of 64GB, alongside a 1024GB NVMe SSD using PCIe 4 for flash-based storage. The CPU operates at 8 x 2.2 GHz and 8 x 1.6 GHz across 24 threads with multithreading enabled, reaching a turbo clock of 5.2GHz, and is built on a 5 nm semiconductor process. On the graphics side, the GPU carries 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM with a base clock of 952 MHz and a turbo of 1455 MHz, delivering 9.684 TFLOPS of floating-point performance alongside a texture rate of 151.3 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 46.56 GPixel/s. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and the system is fully 64-bit compatible, though it does not include XeSS (XMX) support.
In CPU benchmark testing, the laptop achieves a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 13325 and a single-core score of 2443, reflecting the processor's threaded and per-core capabilities respectively. On the PassMark side, the system records an overall score of 34910, with a single-thread PassMark result of 3862.
Wired connectivity includes three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, two USB 4 40Gbps ports with Type-C form factor, a single RJ45 Ethernet port, and one HDMI 2.1 output; there are no DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, or VGA outputs present. No external memory card slot is available. On the wireless side, the laptop supports Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) along with backward-compatible Wi-Fi 6E, 6, 5, and 4 standards, paired with Bluetooth 5.4. AirPlay is also supported, while a VGA connector is not included.
The laptop houses a 90 Wh battery and includes sleep-and-charge USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the system is powered off or in sleep mode. It does not use a MagSafe power adapter.
Audio is handled by stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support and a 3.5 mm headset jack, while two built-in microphones cover voice input; there is no S/PDIF output or voice command functionality. For graphics, the laptop supports both ray tracing and DLSS, enabling hardware-accelerated rendering and upscaling features. A front camera is included alongside 3D facial recognition for login, but there is no fingerprint scanner or stylus in the package. Motion and location sensors — including a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS — are absent, and the laptop does not have an optical disc drive.
The CPU is a laptop-class processor using a BGA 2114 socket with a 45W TDP, a clock multiplier of 22, Turbo Boost version 2, and a maximum operating temperature of 100°C. It employs big.LITTLE technology, supports 64-bit instruction sets including MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, and features 30 MB of L3 cache and 40 MB of L2 cache, with the multiplier locked. Integrated graphics are present in the form of the UHD Graphics 710, which carries 16 execution units. The dedicated GPU is built on the Blackwell architecture with 3328 shading units, 104 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 21,900 million transistors, running at a memory speed of 1750 MHz on a 128-bit bus with an effective speed of 28,000 MHz and a maximum bandwidth of 448 GB/s. Memory operates across 2 channels with a maximum speed of 5600 MHz, and ECC memory is supported. The system uses Intel Resizable BAR, supports stereoscopic 3D, multi-display output, OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, and Double Precision Floating Point, while LHR is not present. An overclocked PassMark result of 37,537 is also recorded.
