The Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 is a gaming laptop with a 22 mm thickness and overall dimensions of 359 mm wide by 264 mm deep, giving it a total volume of 2085.072 cm³. It weighs 2,400 g and relies on an active cooling system rather than a fanless design. The chassis is not weather-sealed, but it does include a backlit keyboard for low-light use. Lenovo backs the unit with a 2-year warranty.
The laptop features a 15.6″ IPS panel with an LCD, LED-backlit construction, delivering a resolution of 1920 x 1080 px at a pixel density of 141 ppi. Its 144Hz refresh rate makes it well-suited for fast-paced content, while a typical brightness of 350 nits and an anti-reflection coating help maintain visibility in varied lighting conditions. The display does not support touch input, and the system can drive up to 4 displays simultaneously.
The system is equipped with 16GB of DDR5 RAM running at 4800 MHz across two memory slots, with support for up to 32GB. Storage is handled by a 512GB NVMe SSD using flash technology and a PCIe 4.0 interface. The CPU operates at 4 x 2 GHz and 4 x 1.5 GHz with a turbo ceiling of 4.4 GHz, supports 12 threads with multithreading enabled, and is built on a 4 nm semiconductor process. On the graphics side, the GPU carries 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM, runs at a base clock of 1605 MHz with a turbo of 2370 MHz, and delivers 12.13 TFLOPS of floating-point performance alongside a texture rate of 204.8 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 113.76 GPixel/s. DirectX 12 Ultimate and 64-bit support are included, while XeSS (XMX) is not supported.
In CPU benchmarks, the laptop scores 2218 single-core and 8862 multi-core in Geekbench 6, while Cinebench R20 returns 640 for single-core and 3625 for multi-core workloads. The PassMark suite records a single-core score of 3348 and an overall CPU result of 16698, with the PassMark G3D graphics score reaching 17148.
The laptop offers a reasonable spread of wired and wireless connectivity options. USB ports include one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A; there are no Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports, no USB 4 ports, and no USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, with no DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, or VGA connector present. Wired networking is covered by one RJ45 port, while wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with backward compatibility for Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4, alongside Bluetooth 5.2 and AirPlay support. There is no external memory card slot on this model.
The laptop houses a 60 Wh battery and supports sleep-and-charge through its USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the system is asleep. It does not use a MagSafe power adapter.
The laptop includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headset jack, a front camera, and two microphones, though it lacks Dolby Atmos, an S/PDIF output, and an optical disc drive. On the graphics feature side, it supports both ray tracing and DLSS, adding to its gaming-oriented credentials. Biometric security options are absent, as there is no fingerprint scanner and no 3D facial recognition. The device also does not include voice commands, a stylus, or any motion and location sensors such as a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, or GPS.
The CPU has a TDP of 115W, a clock multiplier of 20, a maximum operating temperature of 100 °C, and employs big.LITTLE technology alongside multithreading, though its multiplier is not unlocked. Cache memory is distributed across 704 KB of L1, 7 MB of L2, and 12 MB of L3. The processor supports a range of instruction sets including SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, AES, FMA3, F16C, and MMX, and includes an NX bit for hardware-level security. It also features integrated graphics with 48 execution units and operates across 2 memory channels, with RAM speeds supported up to 5200 MHz. The Ada Lovelace-based discrete GPU contains 2560 shading units, 80 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, backed by a 96-bit memory bus running at 2000 MHz with an effective speed of 16000 MHz and a maximum memory bandwidth of 192 GB/s. Intel Resizable BAR is supported, LHR is not present, and the GPU is compatible with multi-display output and stereoscopic 3D. The system supports OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, Double Precision Floating Point, and ECC memory, and the overclocked PassMark score is recorded at 17684. The CPU contains 18,900 million transistors.
