January 24 news, Shenzhou God of War ZX9 officially launched today and opened pre-sale. The series features a desktop processor with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 graphics as standard and starts at $7,999.
To be able to achieve this price, the main reason is that the lowest version of the ZX9 adopts the low-U high-display strategy common to Shenzhou. Among them, the basic model uses the Celeron G6900 processor, only dual-core dual-threaded, and the high-end version uses the Core i5-12400 and i7-12700 processors respectively.
Speaking of which, there should be many people who are starting to start with the basic version and then change the processor themselves. However, the difference between the different configurations of the Shenzhou God of War ZX9 is still a bit big, and the following is a simple explanation.
Two of the Core processor versions feature 16GB DDR4 3200MHz memory, 512GB SSDs, and a 15.6-inch 2.5K 165Hz screen with a 100% sRGB color gamut.
In contrast, the base version only has 8GB of DDR4 3200MHz memory, the screen is only FHD 144Hz, and the color gamut is also much lower.
Replacing the G6900 version with i5-12400 only needs to add 1000 yuan, and you can get more memory and a better screen, which is still cost-effective overall.
Finally, speaking of interface parameters, The Shenzhou Ares ZX9 has two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A, a USB 2.0 Type-A, a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C (supporting DP 1.4), an HDMI (2.1 TMDS), a mini DP 1.4, an RJ-45 network interface, and a TF reader.
The machine thickness is 32.5mm, the weight is 2.7kg, and the Celeron/i5/i7 version is priced at 7999/8999/9999 yuan respectively.
