It's a pity that Asus doesn't offer a model with the 5090 Laptop, although this would be easily possible with its TGP of 110 watts. In our GPU analysis, we saw that the RTX 5090 Laptop would be almost 14% faster than the RTX 5080 Laptop with a TGP of 115 watts, for example.

Manually adding the 5090 Zephyrus G16 into your gaming charts reveals that in both 1080p and 1440p, the 5090 G16 has no real advantage in gaming. The only outliner (X plane) also happens to be one where the Ryzen cpu simply underperforms regardless of the gpu, and even there the G16 is just 14% ahead. There are also a few cases where the G14 is outright faster, up to 10%. The 4090 model likely sold very poorly due to the extreme upsell price.
