It combines robust construction with high-end components such as the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070.
Key features:
- AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX: Top processor with 32 threads and impressive energy efficiency.
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070: High-performance graphics for demanding applications and games.
- 17.3-inch display with 1440p and DCI-P3 color space: Perfect color reproduction and smooth refresh rates of up to 165 Hz.

Focus on performance: AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX and NVIDIA RTX 4070
At the heart of the TUXEDO Gemini 17 is the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX, a 32-thread processor that not only impresses with its raw performance, but also with its efficiency. Compared to competitor models, such as Intel’s Core i9-14900HX, the AMD processor requires around 70 % less power to achieve similar multi-core performance. Even Apple’s M3 Max is outperformed in terms of performance per watt and overall performance.
For graphics and gaming enthusiasts, the Gemini 17 offers either an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 or the more powerful RTX 4070 running at their highest power level of 115 watts. These graphics cards are ideally suited to displaying the latest games in high to maximum details or supporting graphics-intensive software.
Display and design: more than just functionality
The 17.3-inch display of the Gemini 17 impresses with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, which offers an excellent balance between sharpness and performance. Thanks to a refresh rate of 165 Hz and AMD FreeSync, smooth displays are guaranteed, which is particularly beneficial for fast games or multimedia applications. The 100% covered DCI-P3 color space also ensures precise color reproduction – ideal for (semi-)professional photo editing.
The housing follows a clear, classic workstation design. With a thickness of just under 2.9 cm and a weight of 2.8 kg, it is suitable for transportation over short to medium distances, but remains primarily a desktop replacement. The robust design is rounded off by a quiet membrane keyboard with backlighting, which creates a pleasant working environment even in low light.
Memory and connections: For maximum flexibility
Memory is another focal point of the TUXEDO Gemini 17. With up to 96 GB DDR5 RAM and two M.2 SSD slots offering up to 8 TB of storage, the device is ideally prepared for memory-intensive tasks. Whether it’s complex simulations, large video files or multitasking – the Gemini 17 easily keeps pace.
The notebook also leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to connections. It offers two USB-C ports, two DisplayPort connections and HDMI 2.1, allowing up to four screens to be operated simultaneously. This makes the Gemini 17 suitable not only for gaming and multimedia, but also for professional applications such as video and image editing or working with virtual reality headsets.
Conclusion: The perfect desktop replacement for power users
The TUXEDO Gemini 17 – Gen3 is more than just a powerful notebook – it is a fully-fledged replacement for the desktop PC that is ideally suited for both professional use and gaming. With its robust design, powerful hardware and extensive connectivity options, it meets the requirements of power users who want to combine performance and mobility in one device.
The Gemini 17 is now available for pre-order and will be delivered from mid-October 2024. The basic version starts at 1,699 euros and offers an excellent price-performance ratio for anyone looking for a combination of workstation and gaming notebook.
