Asus ROG GR6 details leaked

Internal changes

While Asus released its ROG GR8 gaming console only last year, it seems keen to get another one itn the shops.


Pictures have starting appearing online of the Asus ROG GR6. Although we say pictures speak a thousand words, these ones say nothing, because they look like ROG GR6 is identical to the old ROG GR8 in every way.

Fortunately the specs show that the internal gubbins are completely different, so the machine is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.

Both machines have the same GPU – a GM107 chip with 640 CUDA cores, but the GTX 960M likely offers a lower TDP.

According to Nvidia's, the GTX 960M offers slightly higher clock speeds with slightly lower vRAM speeds when compared to the GTX 750 Ti. Asus can bugger around with these factors so it is not possible to say if it will improve the GPU performance.

However the CPU is the new Intel 5th Gen Broadwell processor. It will probably be a mobile chip like the ROG GR8's Core i7-4510U.

The system also supports a dual-band wireless 802.11ac. It will come with dual 2.5" HDD/SDD support, Supreme FX audio, and an Intel Ethernet LAN controller.

It is not clear when this is going to be in the shops, or if there will be a keyboard and mouse combination deal with it.
