As we reported a while ago on the new product of AMD+ASUS is the Strix GL702ZC. This laptop is not only new in AMD laptops platforms but also new in all gaming laptops to have an 8-cores (Octa) CPU in mobile gaming platform. Notbookcheck has already mentioned after testing and benchmarking it “This is the best result of a notebook we have seen so far”. Asus has actually made one of the strongest gaming laptops for gaming ever (in terms of CPU power and multi tasking power). Asus is adding this new gaming laptop to the ROG high quality gaming series soon. There had been no actual release date yet but all the main specs are out. 8 cores can give you a huge amount of multiprocessing power for all things you do at the same time in mobile, and we do not even have that in many PCs yet, but ASUS and AMD decided to bring it to Mobile PCs. As far as the specs go, Asus as the first manufacturer who steps in and makes a gaming laptop with 8-core CPU and Radeon RX 580. AMD has been breaking into the dominance of intel and Nvidia in all 2017 desktop markets. Amd jsut released the ultrabook laptops to do the same in Mobile PCs. And the Move to go for this 8 Core laptop with asus is AMD’s first step in doing the same thing in mobile gaming market.

We feel that 99.9% of all new high-end laptops come with a quad-core CPU from Intel’s Kaby Lake generation (Core i5-7300HQ up to i7-7820HK) and a Pascal GPU from Nvidia (GeForce GTX 1060 up to GTX 1080). Asus pioneers with the 17-inch ROG Strix GL702ZC, which uses a Radeon RX 580 with 4 GB of GDDR5 VRAM regardless of the configuration. This graphics card is supposed to compete with the GeForce GTX 1060. ROG Strix GL702ZC is also introducing another new tech from AMD and it is equipped with AMD FreeSync display technology for fast-paced games. AMD FreeSync syncs the display’s refresh rate with the graphics card to prevent visual lags, minimize frame-rate stutter, and eliminate visual tearing for ultra-smooth visuals. ROG Strix GL702ZC can work with AMD FreeSync on external monitors HDMI.

The Ryzen 7 1700 is the competitor for the Core i7-7700. While the latter only features 8 instead of 16 MB L3 cache, it achieves higher clock rates (3.6 to 4.2 vs. 3.0 to 3.7 GHz). The GL702ZC uses the clock range of the 8-core CPU very well. A maximum of 3.7 GHz in single-core applications and exactly 3.2 GHz when all cores are in play. 8-core system in the Ryzen 7 1700 performs much better than the competitors in the multi-core tests. 1408 points in Cinebench 15, it even outperforms the 91 Watt Core i7-7700K in Cinebench R15 by 47% (+49% @Cinebench R11.5). But in single-core benchmarks of GL702ZC. The Ryzen CPU goes slightly weak comparing to CPU Core i7-7700HQ (2.8 to 3.8 GHz, 45 Watt TDP, 6 MB L3 cache).
