AMD ThinkPad T16 G1 from Lenovo analysis Is lot quicker & more effective than Intel version

The huge, 16-inch business laptop we tested has a quick AMD APU and is nonetheless quiet and cool. It boasts a lengthy battery life despite having a lower battery option and a WQXGA high-resolution display. On the other hand, all of the LPDDR5-6400 RAM is soldered in, and you have to make do without USB 4. We first tested whether the AMD version of the ThinkPad T16 G1 runs even more efficiently and specifically also faster after the Intel version of the device already impressed us with a very long battery life and 16-inch, 16:10 display. This is because Lenovo has given the T16 Intel a performance throttle that persists even after some BIOS updates.

It even represents a performance improvement of approximately 80% with the Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U. The 16-inch business laptop maintains a high level of quietness and cooling at all times. Even though the SoC is more effective, the runtimes of our test unit are less than those of the T16 with an Intel CPU because of the higher-resolution display without low-power technologies and the smaller 52.5-Wh battery. However, you can configure the AMD version on the Lenovo web shop with a low-power display and a bigger battery for less than $1500 Euros (about $1622). The Lenovo ThinkPad T16's excellent keyboard, wide range of connection options, and brilliant, over 400 cd/m2, matte 2.5K IPS display are among its other strong points. On the other side, you are left without USB 4, and the entire 16 GB LPDDR5-6400 RAM is soldered in, so if you require this, you should configure it with the full 32 GB of RAM in preparation.
