With CES 2020 now in full swing in Las Vegas, Asus has decided to kick-off the show with the unveiling of its newest gaming desktop lineup. The company has taken the wraps off the ROG Strix G15, a powerful desktop for everyday gamers, and ROG Strix G35, a more versatile machine that’s also e-sports ready. These gaming desktops are available in two configurations, one with the latest Ryzen 3000-series processor and other with 10th-Gen Intel Core processors.
Starting off with the ROG Strix G35 gaming desktops, Asus calls them tournament-ready and they weigh around 15 kgs. The chassis has a carrying handle up-top to make it easy for gamers to carry around the rigs – if need be. It can bear a sustained force of up to 30 kgs.
Note: To make it simpler for consumers to differentiate among its products, Asus is simplifying the naming scheme with its new ROG Strix gaming desktops. They come baked with either AMD Ryzen or Intel Core processors. The desktops that include the AMD chipset will be referred to as GA while those with Intel processors will now be identified with the ‘T” in their name, such as ROG Strix GT35.
While the ROG Strix G35 is designed for e-sports tournaments, the Strix G15 appears to have been designed for daily use, game streaming, content creation and more. It can be seen as an affordable variant of the G35. The chassis looks more or less the same but it features an EMI-shielded glass panel on the side to showcase the internal components – most of which are RGB-lit and backed by Aura Sync. Asus is offering its users extensive personalization options with this gaming machine.
As for what’s under the hood, the ROG Strix GA15 and GT15 use the latest 3rd-Gen AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs (up to Ryzen 7 3800X with 8 cores and 16 threads) and upcoming 10th Gen Intel Core processors respectively. The new Ryzen chips are based on the new 7nm architecture to make the machine more cost- and power-efficient.
Asus has currently only shared with us the complete specs sheet for both the ROG Strix G15 and G35 gaming desktop. It is yet to announce the price and availability details for these desktops, so stay tuned as we will update this story with the same.
