The Omen Max is essentially a “premium” Omen 16 with better materials – like an aluminum-magnesium alloy chassis and lid – and a beefier cooling system to accommodate current generation hardware. This particular configuration features a 16″ 2560×1600 display, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, GeForce RTX 5080 graphics, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Both the memory and the SSD can be user-upgraded (they’re not soldered on).
The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX is a top performing CPU
The HP Omen Max is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX Arrow Lake-HX processor, which boasts a max turbo frequency of 5.4GHz with a whopping 24 cores and 40MB total L2 cache. According to Passmark, this is second most powerful Intel mobile CPU available right now and goes head to head with AMD’s Ryzen 9 9955HX.
The GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU is better than the RTX 4090 mobile
The Omen Max 16 offers a robust cooling design that allows it to accomodate a more powerful GPU like the RTX 5080 without throttling it. That’s important if you want to be able to play games comfortably on the display’s enhanced 2560×1600 resolution. The RTX 5080 mobile GPU is roughly 15%-20% more powerful than the RTX 4080 mobile GPU that it replaces. In fact, it’s slightly more powerful than the RTX 4090, which was the previous generation’s flagship card.
