This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC features an Intel Core i7-14700F CPU, RTX 4070 Ti Super GPU, 16 GB DDR5-1600 MHz RAM and a 1 TB M.2 SSD. The Intel Core i7-14700F Raptor Lake Refresh CPU has a maximum clock speed of 5.4 GHz with 20 cores, 28 threads and a cache of 33 MB. This is a 14th generation chip – still the most recent iteration – and features a higher clock speed, more cores, more threads and more cache than the i7-13700 CPU it manages. If this is primarily going to be a gaming rig, it’s better to save money and go for an i7 over an i9 as performance in games is virtually identical (high resolution gaming is almost always GPU-intensive). bound).

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super is about 10% more powerful than the RTX 4070 Ti. This is a great card for 1080p through 4K gaming. At 1080p and 1440p you can achieve 144fps or higher in most games, so it would be a perfect complement to FHD or QHD monitors with high refresh rates. 4K is a much more demanding resolution, but you should still be able to achieve at least 60fps in virtually every game currently released. The RTX 4070 Ti Super also increases the GDDR6X RAM count to 16GB compared to the RTX 4070 Ti’s 12GB, meaning it’s a pretty good AI card option.

A note on Alienware’s latest “R16” desktop chassis

The R16 is Alienware’s current desktop PC design from 2024. The volume is 40% smaller compared to previous iterations. It features a simple but proven airflow pattern; Air is drawn in through side intake vents over the GPU area and a 120mm fan at the front of the case, and exhausted through a 120mm fan at the back and two 120mm fans at the top. A 240mm radiator for the all-in-one liquid cooling system is mounted on these top fans. It’s one of Alienwere’s cleanest designs in years, and we like this new chassis enough to rank it as one of the best pre-built gaming PCs of 2024.
