[VERGE] Asus ROG Strix Scar X3D review: AMD’s new chip is a game-changer

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Asus, just a few weeks ago, announced the new Ryzen 9 7945HX3D, a chip with 16 cores, 32 threads, boost clock up to 5.4GHz, 55W-plus TDP, and a whopping 144MB of total cache.

The X3D is beating MSI’s Titan GT77 HX, a more expensive RTX 4090 machine with Intel’s flagship Core i9-13980HX, by as much as 20 percent on the titles tested here.

The Strix Scar uses Asus’ ROG Intelligent Cooling system, which is a motley crew of Conductonaut Extreme thermal paste, a vapor chamber that covers 43.3 percent of the motherboard, 84-blade fans, four heatsinks, 0.1mm fins, and anti-dust tunnels.

Ultimately, the games look good — and there’s a dizzying array of color profiles for you to choose from in Asus’ Armoury Crate software.

It brought 3D V-Cache to the mobile space, and it made the Strix Scar X3D a blisteringly powerful laptop that blows the competition out of the water.

The minute you start to care about other stuff (namely battery life, portability, or any semblance of webcam quality), you’ll probably want to look elsewhere.
