The PassMark page shows a recorded boost of 5.45 GHz for the run. Apparently this laptop is equipped with Samsung DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM memory, and based on the entry data, it’s an MSI system paired with an NVIDIA RTX 5090. This is still a single public result, so performance can shift with power limits, firmware, and memory configuration.
