Alienware Aurora R16 RTX SUPER Gaming PC for $1899.99
Alienware Aurora R16 Liquid Cooled Intel Core i7-14700F RTX 4070 SUPER Gaming PC with 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD
The Alienware Aurora R16 is equipped with an Intel Core i7-14700F CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12GB 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 SUPER.
The RTX 4070 SUPER video card is a significant improvement in performance over the 4070. It’s the perfect card for 1440p gaming, where it’s about 10%-15% faster than the RTX 4070 or RTX 3080. Since this is an RTX 40 series card, it features DLSS 3.0. The RTX 4070 SUPER also has 12GB of VRAM compared to the 4070’s 8GB, so it’s a superior GPU for AI image generation apps (like Stable Diffusion) and other programs that benefit from large amounts of VRAM.
The 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.
