In this review, I put the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 2022 version head-to-head with the 2023 version! The craziest part about this review is that the 2022 actually outperforms the 2023 model---something I was very shocked to find out. They both have some pretty key differences both internally and exteriorly that I talk about in this head-to-head review.
Check out this video to see me run through all the differences and benchmarks that really make the 2022 model stand out from the 2023 model!

Game benchmarks would have been nice. These are all just productivity suites that are more RAM intensive. You mentioned it, but also largely glossed over it with only said brief mention.
If you’re the primary target audience for this laptop (gamers) I am willing to bet the higher refresh rate, better screen, and better GPU are going to be far more important than productivity/models suites.
Nice informative video as always.
How is it in games? Meaning, that's the major selling point of these laptops, especially 4060 with all the new tech for frame generation, etc.
Can you do tests and compare the integrated GPU. I know the 6900HS uses a 680M which is Zen3 architecture. Which one does the 2023 model use and how does it perform in contrast to the 680M
Nice informative video as always.
Maybe you should try the studio driver, these are meant for professional use, normally they come with the game ready driver. I've ordered the 2022 model, can't wait for it to arrive. 😁
Best informative and just what I needed thanks keep it up
Lenovo Finland has this in stock. We have deals for 2022 model for 1600$. Asus only upgraded the price for 2023 model.
7735HS RTX 4050, 2450 USD, Blender CPU score 183.
7940HS RTX 4060, 2770 USD, Blender CPU score 223 (22% faster).
I bought the one from BB 2022 version, how do we figure out the max wattage we can use a ganz charger? Is it 100? 65?
This is the review I was waiting for
Can someone please link me the video referenced @6:38 about upgrading the ram? I didn't see a link to it in the description. Thanks!
Huge like for talking about solidworks !! Thx you 🙏🏼
Patiently waiting for your review of the 2023 Flow X13.
Me too.
I'm actually so so happy that the 2023 model has an empty ram slot! 32gb is now more achievable than ever! ❤
Yes, I do think that was a SMART move... but the base model from the factory left me wanton.
And all of these 32GB RAM will be in dual-channel compared to 24GB with only the first 16GB in dual-channel. And supposedly you will also be able to install faster RAM compared to last year.
@Steven P I only play games like valorant and csgo, so that wont be much of an issue for me.
My main use is for adobe and figma and other design and video editing workload.
I would love it you showed some gaming benchmarks, nothing crazy, but a CPU heavy title like CS-GO and a GPU heavy one like Red Dead Redemption 2 would be nice. Just so we can get an idea of the delta in gaming performance between 2022 and 2023 models since a lot of us use it for that use case.
I would like to see some coverage on the CreatorPro lineup of MSI as well as the WS76 !!!
Thanks for the tests. I`d have wish to see a comparison in Resolve as well. Not just because I am a DVR user, but AFAIK Resolve utilizes the RTX`s power more than Radeon`s.
Should I get (for gaming) the 2022 version with the RX 6800s or the 2023 version with the RTX 4060? thanks :)
Definitely the 2022 version with all AMD
ben is the battery life better in the 2023 version? battery life matters to me more than slightly higher performance.
I think it's going to be a little better, but the Ryzen 7 6800HS already has great energy efficiency to maximise battery life. Perhaps around 10 hours is achievable with the harder to run applications. And you can also undervolt the Ryzen 7 7840HS and Ryzen 9 7940HS (and Ryzen 9 6900HS/HX) laptops using the Universal x86 Tuning Utility ver. 1, which would further increase energy efficiency and power consumption (as well as performance on the charger). Finally, a 100W GaN charger should let you charge your laptop very fast even when you are using it to do something (switch to Silent mode when it's charging like that with a 100W charger to maximise charging speed - the performance doesn't scale linearly and you will have around 80-90% of the performance at Silent mode compared to Performance, which consumes a lot more energy)
I totally agree but the 2023 models are relatively new, in a few months of driver updates it will also be better
You have a good point.
Can you check the thermals on both during gaming?
Does the 2022 g14 with 6900hs+6800s (RK model) has 16gb ram on board then an empty slot as well?
Nope 8gb on board and another 8gb gddr5
Are the thermals better in the 2023 model by any significant amount? Or are they relatively the same?
2022 had liquid metal on both cpu and gpu, 2023 only has it on cpu
@@paneledp lol that sucks and if I'm not mistaken, Hardaare Canucks compared the 23 to 22 model and found out that the full AMD 2022 model battery life was hugely better
It would be great if we could see the benchmarks of RX6800s version in the video.
Unfortunately I was never able to get my hands on that model.
+10% ;)
Can u try the new Asus TUF A16 advantage edition with the ryzen 7 7735 and a rx7600s and try to do the benchmarks to see if that's really better than the 2022 zephyrus g14 ?
7735 sucks
itll be better for 2 main reasons: newer gen gpu and 16" chassis allowing higher TDP and heat dissipation.
I wish 2023 had an AMD GPU option or derivative...
Bro take a deep breath and relax you are uploading way too many videos😅
Bro rest. He is giving one particular comparison on one main group of specs for two or more laptops. He has over 100 I think. So there are almost infinite content ideas, and most of those are requests
By the way, the more videos you upload, the more money you make, which is important for him since he buys tons of laptops and you know those ain't cheap. I also post a lot although I'm just starting out and I'm in a different niche
@@spark_graphics Hey, can you please give me advice for increasing my creativity in graphic design?
how is the battery life compared?
I purchased the 2023 model and then saw you made this video. I’m interested in learning solidworks but see that the Nvidia card scored much lower than the Radeon. I wonder what the real world implication is…?
Now that Maya is an Apple Silicon Native program, Can you include it in your tests?
What's the maximum ram you can put on the unoccupied ram slot of the 2023 version ?? Can you put a 64gb ram on it to make it a total of 80gb (16gb+64gb) ??
So If I’m using for gaming do u suggest 6800s in 2022 model? or 2023 RTX4060?
rtx4060
Hello sir! i love ur videos! would like to see a comparison between the ROG Flow X13 (2023) vs. Zephyrus G14 (2023) in the near future :D
Hey, what laptop do you use and own?
@@TheFunnyDictator im currently looking for one! Hahaha been wanting a small and powerful laptop :)
@@dericyu2700 How about buying the Zephyrus or the Flow?
does anyone know if this years asus Flow X13 Ryzen 9 with a rtx 4060 work well in solidworks compared to the the asus Zephyrus g14? Need a laptop that works in solidworks and keyshot as well as other 3d modelling software's and not sure if I should buy it or not
I'm benchmarking the RTX 4070 version of the X13 now.
@@BenGKaiser Thank you! do you also have any videos or upcoming videos about the difference between an intel cpu and AMD cpu? Because I am comparing the z13 to the 2023 G16
Please recommend me a best laptop under 1.5k for gaming
i got rtx3060 and rtx4060 version g14 zephyrus and rtx4060 model one im getting more fps while gaming same set up and runs cooler so i dont know why bother wasting time and money to get 2022 model?
2022 was a great value when it came out while the 2023s just aren't. You have to pay up for higher models of the 2023 just to match what you got in the base 2022! Unless you need CUDA or want the highest spec version of 2023, it's outcompeted by the 2022. A fun fact about the 2022, you can put in a 32gb ram stick and get 40 GB of ram! I can confirm it works with the crucial 32GB stick CT32G48C40S5.
I have the 2022 version and I did the same with the same memory ram, 40gb total.
I thought DDR5 rams are dual channel by default
This is tough, but of the two models I still have the 2023 edging out the 2022 for the memory upgrade path alone. Also Nvidia architecture is superior in many different creative workflows to AMD. GPU and memory upgrade path with the option (if you can afford it) to upgrade to a miniLED display make the 2023 product lineup as a whole superior to 2022 AMD departure for creators.
The two laptops are equal but different, if that makes sense. For gaming, the AMD GPU does noticeably better at lower resolutions (1080p mainly) while the NVIDIA fares way better at higher resolutions (1440p in this case), especially if the games support raytracing and DLSS where the AMD GPU fares significantly worse. I agonized over these two for the past three or four days and ended up going with the 2023 model with the RTX 4060.
NVIDIA just provides the better value and I'm just used to them given that my desktops have their GPUs. Shadowplay in Geforce Experience for recording gameplay footage is just amazing with its low overhead. NVIDIA is better supported across a variety of production and gaming apps and I like their constant driver updates too, so there's that.
I got G15 2022 with 4k 120hz, 32gb ram and 3080 for only $1229,16. Insane Steal!
I think the purple badge was a nice touch.
DDR5 has no single channel. A single DDR5 stick physically has a dual channel layout that supports two channels per DIMM slot instead of single channel in case of DDR4.
Thanks for clarifying for others in the community!
can you review the legion slim 7i i7/4060 and/or i9/4070
G14 4080 is miles ahead and even cooler than last years model. But comes at a cost…
Mini LED is really great as well. Especially if you game, new years model has some advantages. DLSS2/3 is much better as well. After all, this is a gaming notebook.
PS sold last years model and gonna keep the newest one
I should be getting one in to benchmark SOON! Can't wait to see how it compares!
well u dont want to have big gpu inside smaller battery :/
@@knightnxk2906 doesn't make a difference. If you want battery, you'll want to use iGPU.
And it's the same wattage on 4060 or 4080.
@@tinybit780 well then it just doesnt make sense, cos you are paying more money for the same the same wattage, maybe you get few percents up but thats it. you pay few hundred bucks more which is not worth it then. besides you might get performance from other things like higher bandwidth and more vram
@@knightnxk2906 The key is performance per watt.
4080 has a MUCH better performance per watt.
2023 has MiniLED matrix and supports HDR.
What about battery life? how does it compare? I've heard that the new ryzen on zen 4 is not as efficient
Almost the same... minutes difference between the two.
love the vid, but why do you say "ik-cetera" instead of "et-cetera"?
Can you make a video with the game benchmark
You re the master of G14 😃
Woud be nice if you coud put 1/2 Games in ur Benchmarks between this too …
New configuration is better, because the one "stick" is actually dual channel already.
Bought the 2022 6800s model for 1150.- and I am so happy
At 1150 how ??
In my opinion the 2023 RTX4070 version is much more interesting compared to last year version since it has a mini-led display. For me 2023 RTX4060 doesnt justify the price gap.
G14 4070 doesn’t have mini led in the US
yeah but G14 with 4060 and Ryzen 9 7940HS is just 1200$ at best buy, you can't beat that
Still loving my 6700's w/ 40gb of ram :)
YOU ARE CRAZY, you testing gaming laptop without gaming benchmarks!
I bought the 2022 Zephyrus G14 model... I can't complain... Bought it for $999 at BestBuy...
You have to keep in mind the 40 series gpus are relatively new so performance will increase through driver updates over time.
True
Excellent point.
not really. generally not true for Nvidia GPUs unlike AMD GPUs.
@@Ronaldo-se3ff lesser bugs and glitches + getting over the voltage limit set by Nvidia would definitely improve performance
the only problem with g14 is heating issues😭 I got display problem to the heat radiating on my display motherboard😢. Review after 1 year. Windows updates and amd software updates makes the laptop worse😢.
If you play with the settings in armoury crate you can easily tame that heat to reasonable levels. I do use a laptop cooler with it when im gaming on the road for long periods of time and it takes an extra 12c off temps (its a badass laptop cooler though, the igets gt500 i believe). Turning turbo boost off makes a world of difference on its own though and you wont notice a difference when gaming aside from temps imo.
How did it go for you now? Did you switch?
Don't tell me that a prosumer buying a laptop like this wouldn't immediately slot in a 32GB stick of DDR5 for like 60 bucks anyway, and make this whole problem irrelevant.
Someone doing production wouldn't be caught dead with 16GB in their work laptop.
but its ddr5 so its dual channel with only 1 stick not single channel
Still rocking the 2021 model in 2024
comparing gaming laptops but no gaming benchmarks?
What an intellectuality.....
im thinking bkut gettinf the rog strix scar g16
Interesting tests, but I think most of the people will probably buy $50 ram to make it 32GB dual channel machine. So, I really need to see the performance in that configuration.
Of course, it won't change the GA402RJ's value propositions. It's still the best buy of the year, given the price performance ratio.
Gaming laptop but no gaming test. Nice
It's NOT dual-channel, it IS quad-channel! How many times does this have to be repeated for folks to understand this?
I go Nvidia for NVENC and machine learning
test battery life between the two models please
I have seen the 2022 version for 999$

This is a typical trash video.
In order for small gaming laptops to achieve higher cooling performance in limited space, providing two replaceable RAM slots has become less of a priority.
The 2022 g14 model adds 8GB in one replaceable slot to the onboard 8GB, making it 16GB. In this case, the problem is that even if the capacity of the replaceable RAM slot is increased, performance is reduced compared to the full dual channel.
For example, even if you add 32GB to the basic 8GB onboard to make it 40GB, only 8x8GB is recognized as dual channel, and in this flex mode, it is not faster than the 8GB 16GB configuration. It's a gaming laptop in name, but because of the 8GB onboard, you're forced to use 16GB to use full dual-channel speed.
So, for the 2023 model, the onboard RAM was increased to 16GB. In this case, if 16GB is installed in the replaceable RAM slot, the RAM capacity that can be used at full dual-channel speed will double to 32GB. This is enough for gaming or work.
The g14 is not a cost-effective laptop, and you will most likely purchase the laptop with an additional 16GB of RAM and install it yourself, or purchase it as an additional installation from a seller... How many users would buy an expensive laptop and use it without inserting an additional 16GB of RAM into the replacement RAM slot to save money? lol

Asus are desperate to destroy their reputation in 2023, first with their motherboards and now this. All that's left for them is to strike a sponsorship deal with Dylan Mulvaney...
