Asus Lists More Affordable TUF Gaming A14 (2026) with AMD Gorgon Point CPU
Subsequent to the announcement of its Strix Halo model, Asus has made known a second version of the TUF Gaming A14 (2026) laptop. This new variant positions itself as a cheaper solution that pairs AMD Gorgon Point architecture with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU.
Key Specifications of the FA401GM Model
FA401GM, the new laptop version, keeps the external design of its Strix Halo counterpart (FA401EA) but shows some other internal hardware configuration variations.
- Processor: AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 (Gorgon Point)
- Graphics: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU
- Memory: Up to 32 GB of 8,533 MT/s RAM
- Storage: Up to 1TB Dual M.2 2280 Slots
- Display: 2.5K, 165 Hz, IPS
- Battery: 73 Wh
Primary Difference Memory Speed
The main hardware difference between the Gorgon Point-based Ryzen AI 9 465 and the Strix Halo-based Ryzen AI 9 365 is supported memory speed. This new model uses faster 8,533 MT/s RAM compared to the Strix Halo variant's 7,500 MT/s RAM.
Market Position and Availability
Asus has not confirmed any information about the TUF Gaming A14 (FA401GM)'s availability or pricing. It is expected to be a cheaper alternative to the Strix Halo model and would therefore fit comfortably into Asus' strategy of providing differing performance tiers in the TUF Gaming series.
