The Alienware Aurora R16 is the most current Alienware Aurora gaming desktop. The R16 chassis is 40% smaller in volume compared to previous iterations. It features a simple yet proven airflow design; air is drawn in through the side intake vents over the GPU area as well as a 120mm rear fan drawing air in and a generously sized 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler exhausts air out through the top. A side benefit is that the GPU is supplied with fresh air from the outside instead of recirculating hot internal air.
This particular model is equipped with an Intel Core i7-14700F CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16GB GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The 14th-gen Intel Core i7-14700F Raptor Lake Refresh CPU boasts a max clock of 5.4GHz with 20 cores, 28 threads, and a 33MB cache. This is Intel's newest i7 chip and it boasts a higher clock speed, more cores, more threads, and more cache than the 13th-gen i7-13700 CPU. The "F" in 14700F simply means that the chip doesn't have onboard graphics (iGPU). That won't matter if you have a discrete GPU, which in this case is the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is about 10% more powerful than the RTX 4070 Ti. This is an outstanding card for 1440p gaming, but it certainly has the chops to run most games at 4k as well. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER also increases the GDDR6X RAM count to 16GB compared the the RTX 4070 Ti's 12GB. That makes it a better performing card for any program that benefits from more VRAM, including AI image generation apps like Stable Diffusion, machine learning, 3D rendering, and more.
