ASUS ROG Zephyrus Laptop With Intel Core Ultra 9 185H “Meteor Lake” CPU & RTX 4090 GPU Spotted

ASUS's high-end ROG Zephyrus laptops with Intel's top Meteor Lake "Core Ultra" CPUs & NVIDIA's RTX 40 discrete GPUs have been spotted.

In addition to its mainstream Zenbook lineup which will feature Core Ultra 7 and Core Ultra 5 CPUs, ASUS is also prepping its high-end ROG laptops such as the ROG Zephyrus M16 which will offer top-notch hardware specs. These laptops have now been listed online by hardware retailers as spotted by Momomo_US.

Starting with the specifications, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 "GU605MY" laptop features the top Intel Core Ultra 9 185H CPU which packs 16 cores in a 6+8+2 configuration and 22 threads. It has a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a boost clock of 5.1 GHz. The CPU also offers 24 MB of cache & has a TDP rated at 45W (PL1). The CPU also comes with an integrated Arc Xe-LPG GPU based on the Alchemist architecture and packs 8 Xe-cores but this laptop is configured with up to NVIDIA's RTX 4090, which is the best gaming chip you can find on the laptop segment.

Other specifications of the ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 laptop include a 16-inch WQXGA (2560x1600) screen, up to 32 GB of DDR5 memory, up to 1 TB of PCIe NVMe storage, & a Windows 11 operating system.

It's important to mention that the listing states LPDDR5X memory, which means we are looking at a soldered design. This means that ASUS's ROG Zephyrus laptops featuring Meteor Lake won't let users upgrade the memory unless a CAMM solution is used which seems unlikely. However, we might have to wait for the official unveiling to confirm this. Being a high-end laptop, we can expect pricing above the $2000 US price range. As for availability, the Intel Meteor Lake Core Ultra 9 CPUs are expected to arrive a bit later in January so we can expect the laptop to see a proper unveiling at CES 2024.

In addition to the high-end ASUS ROG Zephyrus, several ASUS Zenbook laptops have been listed by French retailer, pc21.fr. All models listed are based on the Meteor Lake-U series which includes the Core Ultra 7 155U and the Core Ultra 5 125U. Prices range from 1112.30 Euros for the 125U & 1209 Euros for the 155U configurations. These prices are without VAT & seem to be preliminary listings so expect lower prices as we approach closer to the launch which is on the 14th of December.
