The Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 is a gaming laptop measuring 359 mm wide, 264 mm deep, and 22 mm thick, with a total volume of approximately 2085 cm³ and a weight of 2400 g. It features a backlit keyboard and uses an active cooling design rather than a fanless setup. The chassis is not weather-sealed, and the unit comes with a one-year warranty.
The Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 features a 15.6-inch IPS LCD display with LED backlighting, delivering a 1920 x 1080 resolution at 141 ppi and a typical brightness of 300 nits. The panel runs at a 60Hz refresh rate and includes an anti-reflection coating to reduce glare, though it does not support touch input. The system can drive up to four displays simultaneously.
The laptop is equipped with 16GB of DDR5 RAM at 4800 MHz across two memory slots, with a maximum supported capacity of 32GB. The CPU runs at up to 2 GHz on its four performance cores and 1.5 GHz on its four efficiency cores, with a turbo boost reaching 4.4 GHz across 12 threads, built on an 8 nm process with multithreading enabled. Storage is handled by a 512GB NVMe SSD over PCIe 4.0. On the graphics side, the GPU clocks at 735 MHz with a boost up to 1245 MHz, backed by 4GB of GDDR6 VRAM delivering 5.1 TFLOPS of floating-point performance, a texture rate of 79.68 GTexels/s, a pixel rate of 39.84 GPixel/s, and support for DirectX 12 Ultimate; XeSS is not supported.
In benchmark testing, the CPU scores 8862 in Geekbench 6 multi-core and 2218 in single-core, alongside a PassMark multi-core result of 16698 and a single-core score of 3348. Cinebench R20 results come in at 3625 for multi-core and 640 for single-core, reflecting the processor's performance across both sustained and single-threaded workloads.
The Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 offers a practical port selection, including two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, and a single HDMI 2.1 output for external display connectivity. Wired networking is covered by one RJ45 port, while wireless connectivity is handled by Wi-Fi 6 (with backwards compatibility for Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4) and Bluetooth 5.2. AirPlay is also supported. There are no Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports, no USB 4 ports, no DisplayPort or mini DisplayPort outputs, no VGA connector, and no external memory card slot.
The Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 is fitted with a 60 Wh battery and supports sleep-and-charge functionality on its USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the laptop is in sleep mode. A MagSafe power adapter is not included or supported.
The Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, two built-in microphones, and a front-facing camera, covering the basics for audio and video calls. On the gaming side, the machine supports both ray tracing and DLSS, while Dolby Atmos and S/PDIF output are not available. Security features are limited, with no fingerprint scanner, 3D facial recognition, or voice command support present. The laptop also lacks a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, GPS, and an optical disc drive.
The CPU carries a 30W TDP with a clock multiplier of 20, a maximum operating temperature of 100°C, and uses big.LITTLE technology without an unlocked multiplier. Cache configuration consists of 704 KB L1, 7 MB L2, and 12 MB L3, with support for instruction sets including SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, AES, FMA3, F16C, and MMX, alongside NX bit security and ECC memory support across two memory channels at a maximum RAM speed of 5200 MHz. The discrete GPU is built on the Ampere architecture with 2048 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, 32 ROPs, and 8700 million transistors, running GPU memory at 1750 MHz with an effective speed of 14000 MHz and a maximum memory bandwidth of 112 GB/s over a 64-bit bus. The system also features integrated Intel UHD Graphics with 48 execution units, supports stereoscopic 3D, multi-display output, OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, and double precision floating point, while LHR is not present and the overclocked PassMark result is recorded at 17684.
