be ASUS just announced what could probably the new holy grail of mobile PC gaming. One of their flagship laptops, the ROG Chimera has been updated with a faster processor from Intel.
The newly announced Intel 8th-gen mobile processors now include a Core i9 chip in its line-up, probably the most ludicrous chip that you can find on any laptop today.
All of the four new ASUS ROG Chimera laptops will be powered by an Intel 8th-Gen Core i9 processors. They will also come with an NVIDIA GTX 1070 and 1080 GPUs, a 144Hz display and a minimum of 32GB of RAM.
The ROG Chimera will still be rocking that same bulky design, which is expected for a machine with such power. This thing uses four large vents to keep all those demanding hardware cool.
