Up to Intel Core Ultra 9 processor powers the Galaxy Book 4. Samsung said the Galaxy Book 4 series notebooks will have AI-capabilities. The laptops get up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, which would enable generative AI-based creation tools backed by NVIDIA Studio technology. The Galaxy Book 4 Ultra also brings improved gaming capabilities, thanks to NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology that creates higher quality images for over 500 ray-traced games and applications.
