Leo Wong De Quan — Sat, 23 Apr 2022 11:58:43 +0000

The ThinkPad series line of business laptops was first introduced almost 30 years ago, by IBM in 1992. The ThinkPad brand was then acquired by Lenovo in 2005 and the ThinkPad laptops since have all been designed, developed and marketed under the Lenovo company.

After years of annually consistent ThinkPad laptops releases, Lenovo is looking to shake up the ThinkPad family, specifically its T-series, with a new sibling, the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1.

ThinkPad T16 Gen 1

The Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 is the company’s first-ever 16-inch business laptop in the ThinkPad T series and is replacing Lenovo’s former ThinkPad T15 lineup of big-screen business laptops. With its debut, the ThinkPad T16 comes with a newer design language compared to the former 2021 ThinkPads.

Let’s start off with the screens. The ThinkPad T16 comes with a 16-inch IPS LCD panel that has a more modern aspect ratio of 16:10, compared to the 16:9 aspect ratios of the ThinkPads released prior to 2021. The 16-inch display can be configured up to a resolution of 2.5K, peak brightness of 500 nits, 100% coverage of the sRGB colourspace and optional touchscreen support.

For the Intel model, buyers can configure their devices to be equipped with up to an Intel Core i7 from the U-series or P-series of Intel 12th Gen processors, up to 48GB of DDR4 RAM, 2TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage and an optional Nvidia Dedicated Graphics Card, which is either the MX550 or the RTX 2050 Mobile GPU.

For the AMD Model, buyers are able to configure their ThinkPad T16 to be equipped with up to 32GB of LPDDR5 6400MHz of RAM, and 2TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage with a Ryzen 7 PRO 6000 series CPU onboard.

On the battery front, the laptop is available in 52.5Wh or 86Wh options, with an included fast charging adapter in the box for the laptop. The laptop can charge up to 135W if buyers opt for the higher 86Wh Intel configuration.

For connectivity, users need not concern as Lenovo has equipped the ThinkPad T16 with a WiFi 6E module onboard, Bluetooth 5.2, and optional LTE support for those business users who are always on the go. Coming to ports, the ThinkPad T16 is equipped with 2 USB-C ports, 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one HDMI 2.0b port, an RJ45 port, one 3.5mm headphone jack and an optional SIM card slot for those who opt for the LTE model.

If buyers opt for the Intel model, the USB-C ports will be certified Thunderbolt 4 compliant, whereas for buyers who opted for the AMD model, the USB-C ports will be certified USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 compliant.

Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1

AMD Ryzen 6000 Series Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 Landing Page Goes Live, Here Are All The Highlights

Leo Wong De Quan — Sat, 16 Apr 2022 09:19:31 +0000

At the start of 2022, AMD revealed its brand new Zen 3+ based Ryzen 6000 Mobile Series of CPUs for the laptop market at CES 2022. Lenovo, Asus, Dell and HP are amongst the well-known manufacturers expected to incorporate AMD’s latest and greatest Ryzen 6000 Mobile chips for their upcoming laptop lineups in 2022.

As of April 2022, the availability of these Ryzen 6000 laptops is still scarce as you are still unable to purchase such a device today. However, it seems that Lenovo may be the first laptop manufacturer to bring Ryzen 6000 laptops available to the market with their Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 (14”, AMD).

ThinkPad T14s Gen 3

Lenovo recently listed the landing page of the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 (14”, AMD) on its official website detailing the specifications, configurations and highlighting features of the device. Conventionally, when Lenovo lists a product on its official website, this spells out that the device is coming very soon to the market, as the landing page will be updated with a price tag in the upcoming weeks.

Moving onto the device specifications, the ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 is a lightweight business powerhouse featuring up to 32GB LPDDR5 6400MHz Dual Channel Memory, 2TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage, and AMD Ryzen 6000 processors up until the Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U.

The ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 features the largest integrated graphics performance boost in a ThinkPad to date, as the GPU present on the device is the AMD Radeon 680M based on AMD’s best performing RDNA2 architecture. AMD claims that the new integrated graphics can deliver GPU performance that outperforms or performs on par with dedicated graphic cards like the Nvidia MX450 card still found on many laptops today.

The next highlight is the screen on the ThinkPad T14s. The ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 now features a 14-inch 16:10 display giving users more screen to work with, and the screen can be configured up to a 90Hz 2.8K resolution 400-nit OLED display that covers 100% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut for the business professionals out there who are creative in their free time.

Coming to connectivity, the ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 supports WiFi 6E with optional support for 4G LTE and sub-6 5G via eSIM for those business users who are always on the go. Powering the device is a 57Wh battery which can last the laptop an entire day with a just single 2-hour charge on Lenovo’s 65W Rapid Charge technology. For the ports, the laptop is equipped with one USB-C 4.0 Gen 3 port, one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one HDMI 2.0b port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T-series generally slots in at a lower price tag than its P-series, Z-series, X1 series siblings, so it is expected that Lenovo would continue its same lineup pricing strategy in 2022. If true, then the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 (14”, AMD) may be the best ThinkPad one can buy in 2022 with its high price-to-performance ratio, high power efficiency and amazing 16:10 OLED display.

New AMD rumor reveals key details about Ryzen 7000H & 8000 series CPUs

Sean — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 14:00:47 +0000

A new rumor has just revealed interesting information regarding the upcoming AMD Ryzen 7000H series mobile APUs (Ryzen CPU’s with integrated Radeon graphics) and even the desktop lineup of Ryzen 8000 processors as well.

The news arrives from @greymon55 on Twitter (Via NotebookCheck) who revealed the key information related to Ryzen 7000H and 8000 series. For those unaware, the upcoming AMD Ryzen 6000 Rembrandt is successor to the last gen’s Cezanne. While the Rembrandt is based on the Zen 3+ and RDNA 2 architecture, the succeeding model that will replace it will arrive in two variant, namely Phoenix-H and Raphael-H APUs that feature Zen 4.

These two mobile APU variants will apparently be launching sometime in late 2022. The Phoenix is rumored to be based on the 5nm Zen 4 with up to 8 cores and 16 threads and is expected to feature up to a 40W TDP rating. On the other hand, the Raphael will also be based on Zen 4 but will reportedly feature up to 16 cores and 32 threads, with its TDP crossing 45W. Similar to the Ryzen 7000 series APUs, the desktop Ryzen 8000 series will also launch in two variants as per the tweet.

The processors in question are desktop grade chips, including Granite Ridge and Strix Point. These chips are rumored to be based on the Zen 5 architecture, with the Granite Ridge using 3nm Zen 5 cores for its mainstream desktop processor lineup. Greymon added this chip will sport both 3nm and 6nm Zen 5 cores. Meanwhile, the Strix Point is the next gen mainstream APU lineup for desktops that feature 3nm Zen 5 cores along with 5nm Zen 4D cores as well. So, the desktop APUs are planned to be a hybrid variant with the Zen 4D’s design being similar to the “LITTLE cores” in smartphone chips. Keep in mind that these processors are still far off, so take this report with a pinch of salt.

Next-gen AMD Rembrandt (Ryzen 6000) APUs may already be in Mass Production, suggests rumor

Ashutosh — Mon, 06 Sep 2021 04:28:05 +0000

From what we could gain from the reports over the last few years, it was expected that AMD Rembrandt would arrive sometime in early 2022. But if recent claims are anything to go by, we may see a launch sooner than expected. According to a renowned leaker, AMD Rembrandt (Ryzen 6000) APUs have already hit mass production and may arrive in the first half of 2022.

AMD's packaging plants in mainland China will complete six new products in the first half of next year.

Rembrandt is AMD’s next-gen APU that is based on the enhanced Zen3+ architecture and integrates RDNA 2 GPUs. Utilizing both LPDDR5 and DDR5 capabilities, these APUs will be fabricated on TSMC’s 6nm process nodes. With a maximum of 8/16 cores/threads, these APUs are expected to join the Ryzen 6000 series.

Followed this, would be the Zen3+ AMD Rembrandt-H and Rembrandt-U with TDP of 35-45 watts and 15-25 watts respectively. Rembrandt-H will feature 6nm process node, Navi2X (RDNA2) GPU architecture whereas Rembrandt-U will have Navi 2 (RDNA2) GPU architecture. Coupling with them will be the processor, codenamed Barcelo-U that will be based on Zen3 technology, 7nm process node, Vega 4th gen GPU architecture, having a TDP of 12-25 watts, and the same core/threads as the other two, 8/16 max.

[AMD APUs for 2022]

Rembrandt-H | 45W | Zen3+ | Navi2 | 6nm | LPDDR5/DDR5
Rembrandt-U | 15W | Zen3+ | Navi2 | 6nm | LPDDR5/DDR5
Barcelo-U | 15W | Zen3 | Vega 7 | 7nm
DragonCrest | 9W | Zen2 | Navi2 | 7nm | LPDDR5
Pollock | 4.5W | Zen | Vega | 14nm

The H-series is supposed to power high-end notebooks, U-series is meant for ultra-low-power notebooks. The other two, DragonCrest and Pollack families of processors, scheduled to launch alongside the above-mentioned ones, will power the ultra-low TDP notebooks. The current AMD Ryzen lineup, Ryzen 9 5980HX, shares a lot of the same features as the upcoming APUs with an exception to the updated LPDDR5/DDR5 memory capability and making use of the Ryzen 6000 series of processors.

That said, we will continue to track this, as the exact timeline for these launches is not defined yet.
