This Zephyrus G16 comes with an RTX 5070 and Intel's Core Ultra 9 285H processor, paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. The GPU is more than powerful enough to play any game you throw at it, especially with DLSS on your side. The CPU comes from Intel's Arrow Lake mobile lineup and features 16 cores. It boosts up to 5.4 GHz and runs at up to 95W, while scaling down to 45W for better endurance.We haven't reviewed this exact CPU + GPU combo before, but we'll attach a few benchmarks from our Framework Laptop 16 review that also had an RTX 5070. Note that the Zephyrs G16 features a much stronger CPU and better cooling, so you should see higher FPS across all games. At 1080p, you can even expect to fully saturate the refresh rate of that 240Hz OLED display in lightweight titles or competitive esports games.
