To take a look at general performance, the G751 was put through our laptop workloads. The XP941 can achieve speeds over 1 GB/s, and while it has been surpassed by the Samsung SM951, it’s still a solid and quick PCIe SSD. Storage is a strong point on the ASUS G751, with ASUS being one of the first companies to start moving to PCIe based SSDs. But as we will see in the scores below, performance is not impacted by this very much if at all, especially since the bandwidth-hungry iGPU is going unused. ASUS does offer a model with a full 32 GB, or you can always order another stick of DDR3L-1600 if you want to change that. With 24 GB of memory, the dual-channel memory is not balanced, with 8 GB on one channel and 16 GB on the other. It would have been nice to see ASUS move to Broadwell, but the quad-core mobile parts will likely be short lived anyway and have certainly been a long time coming. The maximum turbo is held in check by the 47 watt thermal design point, which is at the top end of the mobile processor range from Intel. It is a quad-core, eight-thread processor with a base frequency of 2.6 GHz and turbo of 3.6 GHz. At this point in the life of the fourth gen Core i7 processors, it may seem out of date, but the i7-4720HQ was actually just launched in Q1 2015. Powering the ASUS G751 model that was shipped for review is the Intel Core i7-4720HQ processor. To start on the performance section, let’s take a look at how the ASUS G751 performs when running applications on the desktop.
