AMD and Asus have joined forces to introduce the ROG Strix Scar 17 X3D, a cutting-edge 17-inch gaming laptop that boasts an eye-catching RGB lightstrip at the bottom. While the laptop’s design is noteworthy, the real highlight lies within its powerful internal components.
At the heart of the Strix Scar 17 X3D is AMD’s highly anticipated 7945HX3D mobile chip. With an impressive 16 cores and 32 threads, and a boost clock speed of up to 5.4GHz, the processor ranks at the pinnacle of AMD’s laptop processor lineup. What sets it apart is its incorporation of AMD’s 3D V-Cache, a revolutionary technology that allows additional layers of cache to be directly placed onto the CPU. In fact, this chip possesses more cache than any other AMD desktop X3D chips currently available.
AMD claims that the 7945HX3D will be the “world’s fastest mobile gaming processor,” surpassing the performance of its predecessor, the 7945HX, by more than 15 percent. Specifically, the inclusion of the 3D V-Cache is expected to enhance gaming performance in titles such as “Shadow of the Tomb Raider” by 11 percent at 70W TDP and 23 percent at 40W TDP. However, it should be noted that these improvements were observed at 1080p resolution, and the advantage may not be as pronounced at higher resolutions.
Asus’s presentation notes that the benchmarks were conducted on the Strix Scar 17 laptop with a native 1080p display, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The laptop was also set to turbo mode, indicating that battery life may not be a strong suit of this powerful machine.
While AMD’s X3D chips have already made waves in the desktop gaming market, the success of their mobile counterparts remains to be seen. Intel currently dominates the high-end gaming laptop segment, but AMD’s superior performance and efficiency could challenge Intel’s position.
If the new chip lives up to its potential, it could serve as a game-changer not only for AMD but for gamers seeking premium laptops. The focus on efficiency is crucial in the laptop space, and AMD’s 7950X3D desktop chip has already proven itself in terms of raw performance and power consumption.
Enthusiasts and gamers can look forward to the release of the Strix Scar 17 X3D on August 22nd. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.
