Asus laptops now have the latest quad-core Intel processors
Asus has revealed its new line of laptops that feature 8th-generation Intel core processors. They include laptops from the ZenBook and VivoBook lines, complete with the latest quad-core processors that double the amount of cores from the previous models. Asus claims a 40 percent increase in performance, while keeping energy consumption the same.
The new laptops are:

It features the 8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. Intel says its one of the first ultra slim laptops to feature a quad-core CPU. The laptop also has two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 3 support (for 40Gbps data transfers).
