Asus has refreshed its ROG Zephyrus S17 with new Intel Tiger Lake-H and NVIDIA Ampere RTX 30 Laptop GPU offerings. Unlike the previous generation, the 2021 ROG Zephyrus S17 uses a rising keyboard mechanism for enhanced cooling. Also, the new Zephyrus S17 offers QHD 165 Hz and UHD 120 Hz panel options with no FHD 300 Hz in sight.

The 2020 Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 had a unique chassis design with the entire top deck of the base designated for thermals, which meant the keyboard was relegated to the bottom edge making typing somewhat inconvenient. With the 2021 ROG Zephyrus S17, Asus seems to have gone back to the drawing board for a more traditional design but one that still offers enhanced air flow.
A new Intel Tiger Lake CPU benchmark has appeared online. This time around, we get a look at the performance up the Core i7-11800H, which appears to be faster than AMD’s competing Ryzen 7 5800H, at least on Geekbench.
The first Geekbench 5 entry of the Intel Core i7-11800H was spotted by @Benchleaks, but more entries have made their way into the database since then. As per these entries, the Intel Core i7-11800H is an 8C/16T CPU featuring a base clock of 2.3GHz, a boost clock of 4.6GHz, 10MB of L2 cache, and 24MB of L3 cache.
