On the same day that AMD unveiled its new processors, ASUS announced the TUF Gaming A14. The laptop is powered by the new Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, so it should handle the best PC games. The TUF Gaming A14’s 14-inch display has a 2560 x 1600 QHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 165Hz. That panel also supports NVIDIA G-SYNC.
ASUS managed to keep the weight of the TUF Gaming 14 down, at least in the realm of gaming laptops. The TUF Gaming 14 weighs 3.2 lbs (1.46 kg). That’s quite respectable, especially given the internals of the gaming PC and its 73Wh battery.
The star of the show is the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 inside. That chip is part of AMD’s long-rumored and now-available “Strix Point” lineup. The processor has Zen 5 CPU cores, RDNA 3.5 graphics, and an XDNA 2 Neural Processing Unit (NPU). That NPU offers an impressive 50 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second) of power, which is more than the power of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus chips (45 TOPS).
Specifically, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 has 12 cores and 24 threads, with those cores being split into four standard Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c. The latter of those core types are smaller Zen cores that are more efficient.
AMD touted the AI capabilities of its new chip, which should be able to handle features like Windows Studio Effects and Live Captions easily. Over time, more developers, including game developers, will leverage the AI capabilities of PCs like the TUF Gaming 14 and its Ryzen AI 9 HX 370.
But you don’t have to wait for developers to optimize games for AI to get a solid gaming experience on the TUF Gaming 14. The laptop’s specs are more than enough to handle demanding PC games right now.
