In September this year, Intel officially announced the next generation of mobile platform processors - Core Ultra series, introducing the relevant architecture, design and concept, and the key upgrades mentioned in it can be said to have aroused the attention of many users. At 10 p.m. on December 14th, the first generation of Core Ultra series processors will also be officially unveiled, and there will be many new notebooks that are the first to be equipped with this processor on the market, providing users with a variety of replacement options.
It is reported that the new ASUS Zenbook 14 2024 will be unveiled as the first Core Ultra thin and light laptop, which will be officially launched on December 15, focusing on the positioning of high-value ultra-thin and light AI notebooks, providing users with early access to the new Core Ultra 7 platform. Therefore, we might as well take a look at what new features it is worth paying attention to, what experience upgrades the processor upgrade can bring to users, and whether it is worth everyone's first rush.
As the top priority of this upgrade, the Core Ultra 7 must be a place of great concern to everyone. Judging from some of the key features officially announced, this newly upgraded mobile platform processor will be the main processor specially developed by Intel for thin and light notebooks, achieving a more balanced experience effect in terms of performance and energy consumption.
Judging from a lot of ** information, Core Ultra 7 not only achieves 6 large cores + 10 small cores and 22 threads of high specifications, but also uses 128 units of ARC series core display, so that the machine is expected to run smoothly at 720P or even 1080P resolution entry3A games, and the graphics processing power in place can also better accelerate the ** editing and rendering effects, which can be said to greatly improve the game and creative experience of thin and light products.
With the popularity of the concept of AI PCs, everyone's demand for AI office and creation is becoming higher and higher, and the NPU AI engine built into Core Ultra can come in handy, which can run AIGC applications only with low power consumption. In addition, it is believed that ASUS will improve various intelligent AI functions and software on the ASUS Zenbook 14 2024, and simplify the operation, so that novice users can also get a professional-level creation, painting and programming experience, greatly improving the usability of the entire notebook, and creating more value when using it.
What's more, since the new processor has a large power consumption optimization in terms of power consumption, the ASUS Zenbook 14 2024 does not need to free up too much internal space for the heat dissipation mechanism, so the all-metal body is controlled at 139mm thin and 119kg light on the excellent proportions. Looking at the entire 14-inch notebook market, such a size does have full portable advantages, allowing users to gain high performance and portable body at the same time, greatly broadening the use scenarios of the whole machine.
On the other hand, the more efficient working principle of the CPU can also give full play to the capacity advantage of the large battery, making full use of the battery life of Zenbook 14 2024. Even with the same large 75Wh battery as its predecessor, the Zenbook 14 2024 still has an increased battery life from 15 hours to 18 hours, which can easily be used for a day without a charger, and the battery life has also been upgraded, optimizing the battery life experience in terms of thin and light laptops.
Of course, as a configuration point that has been recognized by users before, Zenbook 14's OLED ASUS good screen will also be further upgraded. In 28K high resolution + 120Hz high refresh rate of the basic display quality, the new machine supports VRR intelligent refresh, effectively solving the problem of screen tearing in games and sports live broadcasts, and can also rely on real-time refresh rate adjustment to reduce screen power consumption and extend the battery life of the whole machine.
In addition, the screen supports 600nits high brightness, 1 billion colors, 100% P3 wide color gamut coverage, DC dimming + hardware-level anti-blue light and other characteristics, four professional color gamut switching can meet the different color requirements of creators' works, AIThe color of scenes such as painting is more accurate, and the eye protection characteristics in place ensure that it does not tire the eyes for long-term use, and it will still be one of the notebook screens with the strongest experience at present.
In this way, the new ASUS Zenbook 14 2024 can not only rely on the Core Ultra 7 processor to achieve high performance, strong AI attributes, high energy efficiency, long battery life and other experience upgrades, but also rely on OLEDASUS good screen to provide users with high-quality visual effects, thin and light, all-metal and Seiko quality body to achieve higher quality and more durable use experience, it can be said to be a comprehensive AI ultra-thin and light notebook. If you have plans to change your phone at the end of this year or next year, you may wish to pay attention to a wave of ASUS Zenbook 14 2024, and I believe its performance will not disappoint you.
