CPU:
Talking about the processor, the Asus ROG Strix SCAR 16 2025 is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 9 Processor 275HX flagship CPU that offers a total of 24 cores, including 16 efficient cores and 8 performance cores with 24 threads. 24 cores is no joke; this chip is very powerful. The base clock of efficient cores is 2.1 GHz, the base clock of performance cores is 2.7 GHz, the max turbo frequency of efficient cores is 4.6 GHz and the max turbo frequency of performance cores is 5.4 GHz. This CPU consumes a minimum of 55 W base power and a maximum of 160 W max TGP. This CPU is AI ready; in it you get a dedicated NPU with Intel AI Boost whose operation speed is 13 TOPS. In this chip you also get an integrated GPU with a base clock of 300 MHz and a peak frequency of 1.9 GHz; the operation speed of this integrated graphics is 8 TOPS. In this you are given 4 Xe-cores, but you will not need to pay attention to this integrated GPU because in this gaming laptop you are going to get a dedicated GPU like the powerful laptop versions of the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090, about which we will see later.
GPU:
If we talk about graphics, then this component is the main component of any gaming system; the maximum load falls on it. You will know that there is a difference between the CPU of a desktop and the CPU of a laptop. It is very important to make the CPU of a laptop efficient, but GPU manufacturing companies like Nvidia do not do this; they install the same GPU chip in the gaming laptop, but by tuning the power delivery, they restrict the power consumption in the laptop GPU a bit, but still you do not see much performance drop.
In this Asus ROG Strix SCAR 16 2025 laptop, you are going to get two GPU options: one is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 with 16 GB GDDR7 VRAM, and the other is the flagship RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with 24 GB GDDR7 VRAM, due to which you will not have to worry about future games. The RTX 5080 GPU is tuned to a peak wattage of around 175W (150W + 25W dynamic boost), with ROG Boost up to 1500MHz boost clock + 50MHz OC clock.
Cooling:
Cooling is of utmost importance in any computer, be it CPU or GPU or other RAM, SSD or motherboard. These components can only work well if they are cool; otherwise, they cannot work efficiently and can also get damaged. In gaming PCs, you get so many options, like heavy, big-sized heatsink coolers, liquid coolers with multiple fans, heavy heatsinks with 3 fans for graphics cards, and separate fans in PSUs. But this is not possible in laptops due to space limitations, and it becomes very important to keep such high-end components cool. That is why you get ROG Intelligent Cooling in the Asus ROG Strix SCAR 16 laptop. This laptop has a sandwiched heatsink design with end-to-end vapour chambers. Along with this, extreme liquid metal from brands like Conductonaut has been used in it, and three efficient but powerful fans have been provided, due to which you are going to get cool temperatures up to 15°C.
