CPU
12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 H-Series CPU
Vivobook 16X delivers next-level performance from up to the latest 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700H processor to make every task easier, whether it’s streaming, browsing, editing, video chatting, or just taking care of business at home.

Thermal
Cooler, quieter and faster!
To keep it cool in all situations, the ASUS IceCool thermal technology in Vivobook 16X uses upgraded heat pipes4, and an IceBlade fan that efficiently accelerates heat transfer. The 87-blade fan and impeller are made of a liquid-crystal polymer that means they’re lighter and thinner than ordinary fans. In addition, the fan uses a fluid-dynamics bearing that’s quieter and has less vibration than an ordinary bearing. The end result is that the mighty CPU can run comfortably at a blistering 45 watts total TDP in Performance mode — with no throttling!
