Gigabyte Aorus Master 16 Features, Specifications

The panel is certified with Dolby Vision, Pantone, Nvidia G-Sync, and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 technologies and supports 100 percent of the DCI-P3 colour gamut.
The AI PC is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU with 24 cores and a burst clock speed of 5.4GHz. It is complemented by up to Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU with 16GB DDR7 Video RAM (VRAM). The laptop can be configured with up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM and up to 4TB of PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD storage. Gigabyte says it supports real-time ray tracing and LLM inference.
To manage heat dissipation, Gigabyte provides a Windforce Infinity Ex cooling solution with 230W Thermal Design Power (TDP). It comprises 158 asymmetric ultra-thin fan blades and a vapour chamber. The laptop is said to have a zero-noise operation when the 0dB mode is engaged.
Gigabyte Aorus Master 16 also comes with an AI agent dubbed GiMate which can be accessed via a dedicated hotkey in the function row. It uses on-device large language models (LLMs) for adjusting performance settings, overclocking, cooling system, and audio.
The AI Audio feature automatically calibrates the sound output based on the surface the laptop is kept on. Meanwhile, AI Voice uses voice recognition to separate the speaker’s voice and suppress background noise. Then there’s AI Privacy, which is claimed to provide Screen Peek Alerts by recognising when an unauthorised user is looking at the screen and changes to a preset application or image.
