Razer Blade 14 2023 Rumored To Come With Ryzen 9 7940HS And an RTX 4070

As we continue to see a rise in smaller and more advanced 14-inch laptops, we can expect the release of the Razer Blade 14 2023 version in the near future. This new model is rumored to feature the latest AMD Ryzen CPU and an NVIDIA RTX 4000 series laptop GPU, similar to its predecessor.

According to the details shared by _rogame, the Razer Blade 14 2023 is expected to boast the latest and most advanced components available for a gaming laptop of its size. Equipped with a Ryzen 9 7940HS processor and an RTX 4070 graphics card, this device should offer exceptional gaming performance. However, it’s important to note that simply knowing the names of these components isn’t enough to accurately assess the laptop’s overall capabilities.

Ryzen 9 7940HS processor is an 8-core, 16-thread component capable of boosting up to 5.20GHz. Unfortunately, the power limit of the RTX 4070 graphics card when running in the newer 14-inch gaming laptop is currently unknown. However, it’s worth noting that the 2022 version of the Razer Blade 14 could be equipped with an RTX 3080 Ti that has the ability to run up to 100W when NVIDIA’s Dynamic Boost is enabled. That said, the GPU’s power limit is reduced to 90W when running a workload that requires both the CPU and GPU.

In the case of the 2023 model of the Razer Blade 14, the company could either maintain the same 100W power limit or potentially increase it slightly. Additionally, with the RTX 4070’s exclusive features like DLSS 3.0 and Frame Generation, users can expect a significant boost in framerate when playing games that support these features. However, it’s worth noting that the RTX 4070’s 8GB GDDR6 VRAM limit may prove to be a bottleneck when running upcoming games, and it’s currently unclear if more powerful SKUs with an RTX 4080 will be available. That said, considering that Razer managed to incorporate an RTX 3080 Ti in the previous model, there is reason to be optimistic.

In contrast to the 14-inch 2023 MacBook Pro, the upcoming Razer Blade 14 is expected to incorporate a vapor chamber cooler to manage the high-performance components. It will be intriguing to observe how the Ryzen 9 7940HS performs within this chassis, as it’s more power-efficient than last year’s Ryzen 9 6900HX. At CES 2023, AMD boasted that their latest CPU is 30% faster than Apple’s M1 Pro and can deliver up to 30 hours of battery life. With these claims in mind, we are eager to see how Apple’s M2 Pro in the 14-inch MacBook Pro will measure up against the new Blade 14.
