Reviews for the Asus Zenbook S 14 UX5406 Core Ultra 9
After the release of the Snapdragon X Elite chips as well as the AMD Zen 5 CPUs, Intel has finally launched its new Lunar Lake mobile processors. These are completely new chips with a focus on efficiency—plus, Intel has done without hyperthreading for the first time. But how efficient are the new models really and has too much performance perhaps been sacrificed? Update: Benchmarks results for Core Ultra 7 256V, Core Ultra 9 288V

When it comes to looking good a great outfit is only half the job done. It’s also about accessorizing. That means finding the perfect watch, ring, bag, and because I’m a techie—the right gadget. I’m always on the hunt for devices that match my style. Plus points if they’re ultra portable too. And with this laptop? I think ASUS just nailed it!

Multi-threaded performance is mediocre, but otherwise, Core Ultra Series 2 is a qualified success. These new CPUs are going to be speedy enough for the majority of users, and the gains in battery life, CPU, and NPU performance are substantial. That's good news for the Zenbook S14. This is a beautifully designed and very usable laptop with a brilliant screen, and with Core Ultra Series 2 inside it, it's going to last through a full day and most of the next before it needs plugging in again. We suspect that for many business users, that's going to count for more than raw performance, and that bodes well for the next wave of thin-and-light PCs.

Intel Arc 140V: A pretty fast integrated graphics adapter that higher-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 8; it can drive three SUHD 4320p monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.5 and DP 2.1. With the 140V, all 2023 and 2024 games are playable at 1080p on low graphics settings.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Core Ultra 9 288V: The fastest Lunar Lake family processor as of Nov 2024. It sports 4 new Skymont E-cores and 4 new Lion Cove P-cores running at up to 3.7 GHz and 5.1 GHz respectively, along with the new Arc 140V iGPU and 32 GB of on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. It should be just a few percentage points faster than the Core Ultra 7 165U and Core i7-1360P in multi-threaded workloads and it eats up to 37 W when under short-term workloads.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
