Case & connectivity - small changes compared to its sister model
Compared to its sister model's well-known black case, the A16 has a two-toned case. The back of the lid and bottom of the case are a sandy color ("Sandstorm"). Connectivity options are also a little different: One of the two USB-C ports has been upgraded to USB-4 standard.

Display - 16:10 panel with sRGB coverage
The A16 is equipped with the same 165-Hz panel that can be found on its sister model. Its matte 16-inch display (1,920 x 1,200 pixels, IPS) has a 16:10 format and it scores points thanks to its FreeSync support, lack of PWM flickering and quick reaction speeds. While its contrast is acceptable, its brightness could do with being a little better.

* ... smaller is better
Ex works, the screen features good color depiction: A deviation of around 1.8 is acceptable (DeltaE < 3). Calibration lowers this rate to 1.2 and leads to more balanced gray tones. The panel can depict the entire sRGB color space, but not the AdobeRGB and DCI P3 spaces. This is similar to most of its competitors' displays.

Performance - Asus make use of AMD power
The Asus TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition FA617XS is a mid-range gaming laptop. AMD hardware delivers the necessary computing power. The present model can be purchased for around $1,700.
Testing conditions
You can switch between the three manufacturer-specific performance profiles (see table) via the key combination "Fn" + "F5". The profiles "Performance" (benchmarks) and "Quiet" (battery tests) were used. The GPU mode was set to "Standard" (= switching graphics). The notebook's control center ("Armoury Crate") allows you to create individual profiles ("Manual"), which includes setting the PPT and fan curves.
Turbo | Performance | Quiet | |
---|---|---|---|
Power Limit 1 (HWInfo) | 120 watts | 105 watts | 75 watts |
Power Limit 2 (HWInfo) | 144 watts | 114 watts | 90 watts |
Noise (Wichter 3) | 53 dB(A) | 51 dB(A) | 46 dB(A) |
Performance (Witcher 3) | ~100 fps | ~100 fps | ~94 fps |
Processor
The CPU part of the Ryzen-9-7940HS-APU (Phoenix, Zen 4) features eight processing cores with 16 threads. A base clock rate of 4 GHz can be raised to up to 5.25 GHz (one core). Our measured benchmark results are about the same as the previously tested 7940HS laptops. Using the profile "Turbo" leads to a little better performance (4-5 per cent).
The sister model's Ryzen-7-7735HS-APU (Rembrandt R, Zen 3+) is clearly beaten by the Ryzen 9, even with the same number of cores and the same power limits. Thanks to its better architecture and higher clock rates, its per-watt performance is greater.
The CB15 loop test shows: Continuous multi-thread load leads the CPU to work with consistently high turbo clock rates - regardless of the chosen performance profile.
Please note: Detailed information about the installed APU and its architecture can be read in our Zen4 analysis article.

System performance
The smoothly running system provides enough performance for demanding areas of use, such as rendering, video editing and gaming - the good PCMark results can confirm this. The RAM's transfer rates are on a normal level for DDR5 4800 RAM. It is important to note: The automated switch between dGPU and iGPU (Smart Access Graphic) always takes a second or two. During this time, the system freezes.

Storage devices
Asus has equipped the A16 with a 512 GB SSD (PCIe 4, M.2-2280) from Micron - (too) little storage space for a gaming notebook. It delivers decent data rates but is not one of the top models among all the available SSDs. Especially the write rates are far below today's possibilities.
