Gigabyte lists two DDR5-5600 slots, up to 64GB; 64 is a stated maximum, not an itemised configuration. RTX 4070 with 8GB GDDR6 at 140W. GPU bandwidth left empty because the makers do not publish it for this GPU.
Speed is not known for this laptop. We have no sourced memory bandwidth figure, so the tables show fit only.
With 64 GB of memory
About 8 GB of it can hold a model.

Models marked "thinks first" can write out their reasoning before they answer, so a job takes longer than the speed alone suggests.
Published chip scores
Blender Open Data publishes the median render score of its Cycles test for each chip, and PassMark publishes average CPU and 3D scores, both from results people submitted. Higher is faster. These are not Findra scores. Scores from different tests, and from different Blender versions, are not comparable with each other.

Editing, gaming, CAD and other work
Each app below publishes a minimum and a recommended system requirement. We compare them with this laptop's memory and graphics memory. We do not judge the graphics chip's class, the processor generation or the operating system, because the makers describe those in words: check the source link for the exact card, processor and system they name. Many apps and games run only on Windows or only on macOS. Integrated graphics count as below any requirement for a dedicated card. Not known means the maker does not state this laptop's graphics memory.
Labels follow the makers' published lists. All use cases.
Speed is the speed of writing an answer, shown as a range. Reading speed is not estimated. How the estimates work · How close they are · Back to the finder
