Asus TUF series is a gaming-focused laptop series. There is a transformative phase going on in the gaming laptop market. Almost all the gaming machine creators are moving towards AMD chipset over intel. AMD 5000 series offer some really hefty performance improvements. And it’s not just performance the AMD processors are more power-efficient and better suited for lightweight ultra-portable machines.
Performance
Asus TUF Dash F15 is powered by intel 11th gen processors. Intel 11th gen processors are fast and reliable compared to 10th gen processors. The GPU is Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 which comes with Dynamic boost 2.0 to deliver higher frame rates. Up to 32GB RAM and 1TB NVMe PCIe SSD allows for faster app and game load times and a greater multitasking experience.
Now if you are comparing this to an AMD powered gaming laptop then, as we see there is an external GPU so, integrated graphics won’t play any role and AMD Ryzen 5000 series CPU is faster, more power-efficient, and better for gaming compared to intel 11th gen. So, a laptop with a similar configuration but with AMD Ryzen 5000 CPU will outperform this guy. Intel 11th gen doesn’t fit well with Geforce 3070 more insight in the Verdict section.
