Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 review – capable hardware, good comfort under load, and a lot of security features
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). The “Discrete Graphics” mode is also applied in the BIOS.
CPU options
Three Raptor-Lake CPUs are available – the Core i7-13700H, Core i7-13800H, and Core i9-13900H. We bought a laptop with an i7-13700H since it has the same core count and cache size as the two other chips.
Εδώ, αξιολογούμε την απόδοση της CPU χρησιμοποιώντας μια πραγματική εργασία 3D rendering, αξιολογώντας την ικανότητά της να διαχειρίζεται αποτελεσματικά πολύπλοκους υπολογισμούς και φόρτους εργασίας rendering.
Τα αποτελέσματα είναι από το τεστ Cinebench 2024 Multi-Core (το υψηλότερο είναι καλύτερο)
GPU options
In terms of graphics, you can choose among eight GPU options, five of which are professional RTX variants while the others are standard gaming video cards. So, the options are the following – the NVIDIA RTX A1000 (Laptop, 65W, 6GB), RTX 2000 Ada Generation (35W), RTX 3500 Ada Generation (80W), RTX 4000 Ada Generation (80W), RTX 5000 Ada Generation (80W), GeForce RTX 4060 (Laptop, 80W), GeForce RTX 4080 (Laptop, 80W), and GeForce RTX 4090 (Laptop, 80W).
Τα αποτελέσματα προέρχονται από το 3DMark Time Spy (Graphics). Το υψηλότερο είναι καλύτερο.
Τα αποτελέσματα είναι από το benchmark 3DMark Fire Strike (Graphics) (όσο υψηλότερη η βαθμολογία, τόσο καλύτερα)
Τα αποτελέσματα προέρχονται από το 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Unlimited. Το υψηλότερο είναι καλύτερο.
Τα αποτελέσματα προέρχονται από το benchmark Unigine Superposition (όσο υψηλότερη η βαθμολογία, τόσο καλύτερα)

Since the NVIDIA RTX A1000 (Laptop, 65W, 6GB) is based on the GA107 chip, its performance is close to the Geforce RTX 3050 (Laptop) levels. The results are good, the GPU has enough power to deliver more than 60 FPS on High details in the four titles that we have tested.
Max CPU load
In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.

Let’s see how good the cooling is compared to the other business laptops in the table above. First of all, the Core i7-13700H in this notebook can maintain a high P core clock and decent E core frequency no matter the load. The temperatures are on the high side. Still, the ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 is definitely ahead of the HP ZBook Power G10 and Dell XPS 15 9530. The Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 4 and HP ZBook Studio 16 G10 are doing a better job under any kind of stress except for longer tasks where the P1 Gen 6 can show a bit higher P core frequency.
Real-life gaming
| NVIDIA RTX A1000 | GPU frequency/ Core temp (after 2 min) | GPU frequency/ Core temp (after 30 min) |
|---|---|---|
| Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 | 1628 MHz @ 77°C @ 62W | 1662 MHz @ 78°C @ 65W |
Interestingly, Lenovo mentions a TGP of 35W for the NVIDIA RTX A1000 (Laptop) but the NVIDIA Control Panel shows a value of 65W. This seems valid after 30 minutes of gaming and the temperatures are also under control.
Comfort during full load
The power presets are integrated into the Windows performance slider. The keyboard feels a bit warm in the center when the hardware under the bonnet is stressed but the outside thermals are okay for usage.
The two fans aren’t noisy when the CPU is pounded with heavy loads. In idle, the fan speed is ~2400 RPM while it’s ~4500 RPM in longer stress.
Idle
Max CPU loadBattery
Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. The 90.1Wh battery lasts for 14 hours and 17 minutes of Web browsing, or 10 hours of video playback. A good result.
Φωτεινότητα: 180 nits; Λειτουργία οθόνης: SDR
Χρόνος μέχρι την πλήρη εκφόρτιση: Υψηλότερο είναι καλύτερο

Naprawdę brak numpada to wada ? Wielu głównie dla tego kupi p1 bo inne wersje maja num pad i przesunięty touchpad … co wg. wielu jest slabe.
