Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 1 (AMD) review – snappy business device with long battery life
Performance: CPU, GPU, Gaming Tests
All benchmarks and tests were conducted with the “Best Performance” mode activated (the presets are integrated into the Windows Power mode menu).
CPU options
You can choose among three CPUs – AMD Ryzen 3 7330U, Ryzen 5 7530U, or Ryzen 7 7730U. We bought a device with the latter to see if the cooling can handle a 15W 8-core chip.
Here, we evaluate the CPU's performance using a real-world 3D rendering task, assessing its ability to handle complex computations and rendering workloads efficiently.
Results are from the Cinebench 2024 Multi-Core test (higher is better)
GPU options
As expected, there are no dGPU variants here, only iGPUs.
The results are from 3DMark Time Spy (Graphics). Higher is better.
Results are from 3DMark Fire Strike (Graphics) benchmark (higher the score, the better)
The results are from 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Unlimited. Higher is better.
Results are from the Unigine Superposition benchmark (higher the score, the better)

Bardzo mnie ciekawi, czy po zainstalowaniu w komputerze dwóch fizycznych dysków istnieje opcja wyłączenia jednego z nich w bios? Bardzo mi zależy na uruchomieniu trybu praca – dom na służbowym sprzęcie:)
