An Asus Zephyrus G14 powered by the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS and Radeon RX 6800S has surfaced on Geekbench and PugetBench. In Geekbench CPU tests, the Ryzen 9 6900HS is found to offer decent leads over an average Ryzen 9 5900HS. The Ryzen 9 6900Hs and Radeon RX 6800S combination seems to augur well for creative workloads when compared to a ROG Flow Z13 powered by the Intel Core i9-12900H and Nvidia RTX 3080 despite constrained power limits.

What kind of power constrain? You know that ROG Flow Z13 is twice as thin as Zephyrus G14, right? This is just more clickbait article from NBC

The flow z13 is a tablet too. And from what I see on the official website, it uses 3050Ti. The x13 had option to connect an external 3080. But I don't even know if it's possible here.
I am sure that the author is well aware of this as well because he usually writes good articles.
So. This can only be a desperate clickbait lol.
Get ur facts right, there is no z13 with 3080.
I think the benchamrks were run with the egpu that you can use with the z13, its same one you can use with the x13
I've added a screenshot from PugetBench showing the ROG Flow Z13 with a Core i9-12900H and RTX 3080. Could be that the RTX 3080 is being used in an eGPU case. Hope this clears the ambiguity. In any case, the inference still holds valid :)

But in that case, you can't talk about the power constraints. Right? The i9 there should also be quite limited. I am not sure about the cooling in that tablet though.
Could you add comparison to other laptops with i9 12900H when they become available? That would clear the confusion.

Actually, it is not possible to independently ascertain CPU and GPU performance in PugetBench tests. That's why I've always mentioned the CPU and GPU together as a combination for both the AMD and Intel systems. The 6900HS is limited to a 35 W TDP while the Core i9-12900H is 45 W, chassis limitations aside. So, the constraint here refers to the CPU's thermal envelope which will also affect power sharing with the GPU.
Of course, we will be testing out more devices in the weeks to come. This is just a report based on one benchmark, so we cannot definitively conclude anything beyond a point :)
