Performance score

Ultra 9 288V · Arc 140V fastest configuration
22.03

ASUS Zenbook S16 (UX5606) is a ASUS laptop released Q3 2024. It comes in 4 configurations: CPUs Core Ultra 9 288V, Core Ultra 7 256V, Core Ultra 7 258V, Core Ultra 5 226V; graphics Arc 140V, Arc 130V. The fastest is Ultra 9 288V · Arc 140V (score 22.03), the most basic Ultra 5 226V · Arc 130V (18.79) — the gap between them is what the extra money buys.

A laptop's score is the average of its CPU and graphics scores by our calculation, not a benchmark. Graphics are counted at their power (TGP) in this very laptop: the same RTX 4070 at 60 W is slower than at 140 W.

Real tests

What the test measures

Blender is a popular free 3D graphics program. The test makes the device render three ready-made 3D scenes (light, shadows, reflections) and counts how many render passes it finishes per minute. The higher the number, the faster the device handles heavy work: 3D, video editing, photo processing. On a CPU the test loads all cores at once, so it shows the chip's full power; on a graphics card it shows its compute strength.
