Lenovo Legion Slim 5 (14, Gen 8) review – the overall performance is great but the Zen 4 CPU gets hot in CPU-intensive tasks
Performance: CPU, GPU, Gaming Tests
All benchmarks and tests were conducted with the “Performance” preset activated in the Lenovo Vantage app. There, the “GPU Overclock” and the “dGPU” modes are applied too. You can find these two functions in the BIOS as well as the “Performance mode setting” that is set to “Extreme”. Last but not least, the “Best performance” preset is activated in the Windows “Power & Battery” menu.
CPU options
Three AMD Zen 4 (Phoenix-HS) CPUs are available – Ryzen 5 7640HS, Ryzen 7 7840HS, and Ryzen 9 7940HS. We picked a device with a Ryzen 7 since it has the same core count as the Ryzen 9 model.
यहां, हम एक वास्तविक-विश्व 3D रेंडरिंग कार्य का उपयोग करके CPU के प्रदर्शन का मूल्यांकन करते हैं, जटिल संगणनाओं और रेंडरिंग वर्कलोड को कुशलतापूर्वक संभालने की इसकी क्षमता का आकलन करते हैं।
परिणाम Cinebench 2024 Multi-Core टेस्ट से हैं (उच्चतर बेहतर है)
GPU options
The base GPU is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (Laptop, 95W). There are two optional Ada Lovelace chips, both with 105W TGP – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 (Laptop) and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (Laptop). We bought a machine with the latter because we want to see how good the cooling solution is.
परिणाम 3DMark Time Spy (Graphics) से हैं। उच्चतर बेहतर है।
परिणाम 3DMark Fire Strike (Graphics) बेंचमार्क से हैं (स्कोर जितना अधिक हो, उतना अच्छा)
परिणाम 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Unlimited से हैं। उच्चतर बेहतर है।
परिणाम Unigine Superposition बेंचमार्क से हैं (स्कोर जितना अधिक हो, उतना अच्छा)

The 105W version of the GeForce RTX 4060 (Laptop) performs very well in the four gaming benchmarks. The GPU can deliver high FPS on max details in many heavy titles.

Do something prevents me to upgrade the sodimm slot with a 32GB stick? The PC does not detects more than 24GB of ram, does not starts or is possible to have it with 40GB of total system memory?
There are no SODIMM slots, only the soldered LPDDR5x-6400 memory, so it’s not upgradable. Or do you have the 16-inch variant which has two SODIMM slots?
