The refreshed model keeps much of the original design while introducing Intel’s latest Panther Lake architecture, a more capable integrated GPU, faster memory, and modern connectivity. ## Intel Core Ultra X7 358H Powers the New RX16 The previous RX16 configuration relied on AMD’s **Ryzen 9 6900HX**, an eight-core Zen 3+ processor paired with Radeon 680M integrated graphics. The new model moves to Intel’s **Core Ultra X7 358H**, delivering a substantial architectural and graphics upgrade. The 16-core Panther Lake processor combines **four performance cores (P-cores), eight efficiency cores (E-cores), and four low-power E-cores**. It reaches boost speeds of up to **4.8 GHz** and includes a dedicated NPU capable of **50 TOPS** for AI workloads. Graphics performance also receives a major upgrade through Intel’s **Arc B390 integrated GPU**. It features **12 Xe3 cores** with clock speeds reaching up to **2.5 GHz** and is rated for up to **122 TOPS of INT8 compute performance**. The GPU also supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing, **DirectX 12 Ultimate**, and **AV1 video encoding and decoding**. ## 24 GB RAM and Expandable Storage Acemagic equips the updated RX16 with **24 GB of LPDDR5-7467 memory** and a **1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD**. The high-speed RAM should complement the new processor and integrated graphics, although the memory is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded. Storage offers considerably more flexibility. The laptop includes **two M.2 2280 slots**, supporting up to **4 TB of total storage**. In addition, one of the slots supports a **PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD**, providing an upgrade path to significantly faster storage. ## Dual-Fan Cooling With a Vapor Chamber To handle the performance of the new Intel platform, Acemagic uses a cooling system featuring **two fans and a vapor-chamber heat spreader**. According to the company, this configuration can support up to **65 W of sustained performance**, helping the RX16 maintain higher performance levels during extended workloads. The more powerful integrated Arc graphics should also make the refreshed laptop more appealing for **light gaming**, particularly compared with the older Ryzen 9 6900HX and Radeon 680M configuration. ## Modern Connectivity and 16-Inch Display The RX16 retains its original **16-inch 16:10 display** with a **1,920 × 1,200 resolution** and a **60 Hz refresh rate**. Acemagic has also kept the laptop's **180-degree hinge**, preserving the flexible design of the previous model. Connectivity includes: - Wi-Fi 7 - Bluetooth 5.4 - USB 4 - Full-function USB-C - HDMI 2.1 - Two USB 3.2 ports - One USB 2.0 port - MicroSD card reader - 3.5 mm audio jack This combination gives the RX16 a broad selection of ports while adding support for newer wireless and high-speed connectivity standards. ## Acemagic RX16 Price and Availability Acemagic currently lists the refreshed [**RX16 at $1,159**](https://acemagic.com/products/rx16-358h-laptop?ref=moshirewritten.com) in the United States. The available configuration includes **24 GB of LPDDR5-7467 RAM and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD**, with no other configurations currently listed. The company states that orders placed through its US website are expected to **ship within 3–5 days**. ## Acemagic RX16 Specifications | Specification | Details | | ----------------- | ------------------------------ | | Processor | Intel Core Ultra X7 358H | | CPU Architecture | Panther Lake | | CPU Cores | 16 cores | | P-Cores | 4 | | E-Cores | 8 | | Low-Power E-Cores | 4 | | Maximum Boost | Up to 4.8 GHz | | NPU | 50 TOPS | | GPU | Intel Arc B390 | | GPU Cores | 12 Xe3 cores | | GPU Clock | Up to 2.5 GHz | | GPU Compute | Up to 122 TOPS INT8 | | Memory | 24 GB LPDDR5-7467 | | Storage | 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD | | Storage Expansion | 2 × M.2 2280, up to 4 TB total | | PCIe Gen5 | Supported on one M.2 slot | | Display | 16-inch, 16:10 | | Resolution | 1,920 × 1,200 | | Refresh Rate | 60 Hz | | Cooling | Dual fans + vapor chamber | | Sustained Power | Up to 65 W | | Wireless | Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 | | Hinge | 180 degrees | | Price | $1,159 | | Shipping | 3–5 days in the US | ### Conclusion The refreshed Acemagic RX16 retains the familiar 16-inch design but makes a substantial hardware transition underneath.
