The Ryzen 9 8940HX can boost up to 5.2 GHz on demand, giving short bursts of high single-thread speed that help maintain smooth frame rates in CPU-limited scenes before thermals settle.
The drive runs on a PCIe 4.0 x4 link, capping sequential throughput at the Gen 4 ceiling so large game installs and level loads hit the interface limit rather than the flash limit.
The chassis measures 15.71 inches wide by 11.57 inches deep, so an 18-inch sleeve with at least those internal dimensions will accommodate it.
