The Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 is a gaming laptop with a footprint of 359 x 258mm and a thickness of 21mm, giving it a relatively compact profile for its category. It weighs 2380g with a total volume of 1945.062 cm³, making it a moderately substantial machine to carry. The laptop relies on an active cooling system rather than a fanless design, and it does not include a backlit keyboard or weather sealing. It comes with a one-year warranty period.
The laptop features a 15.6″ IPS LCD panel with LED backlighting, delivering a 1920 x 1080 resolution at a pixel density of 141 ppi. It runs at a 144Hz refresh rate, which is well-suited for gaming and fast-moving content, and offers a typical brightness of 300 nits. The screen includes an anti-reflection coating to help reduce glare, though it does not support touch input. The system can drive up to four displays simultaneously.
The CPU runs across 14 cores — six performance cores at 2.6GHz and eight efficiency cores at 1.9GHz — with a turbo boost reaching 4.9GHz and support for 20 threads via multithreading, all built on a 4nm process node. The system carries 32GB of DDR5 RAM at 4800MHz across two slots, which also represents the maximum supported memory capacity. Storage is handled by a 1TB NVMe SSD using PCIe 4.0, providing fast flash-based access. On the graphics side, the GPU base clock sits at 1605MHz and boosts to 2370MHz, backed by 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM, delivering 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. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and 64-bit computing, but does not include XeSS support.
In CPU benchmarking, the system scores 14077 in Geekbench 6 multi-core and 2524 in the single-core test, reflecting the processor's threaded and per-core capabilities respectively. The overall PassMark result comes in at 30674, with a single-core PassMark score of 3767. GPU performance is measured at 17148 in the PassMark G3D benchmark, capturing the graphics processor's rendering throughput under that test.
The laptop's port selection includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port and three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, with no Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports, no USB 4 ports, and no DisplayPort outputs. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, and a dedicated RJ45 port provides wired Ethernet connectivity. Wireless networking covers Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) along with backward-compatible Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4 standards, complemented by Bluetooth 5.2. AirPlay is supported, but there is no external memory card slot and no VGA connector.
The laptop is equipped with a 60Wh battery and supports sleep-and-charge functionality, allowing connected USB devices to be charged even when the system is in sleep mode. It does not use a MagSafe power adapter.
The laptop includes stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headset jack, and two built-in microphones for audio input, though it does not support Dolby Atmos or an S/PDIF output. A front camera is present, and the system has GPS, but it lacks a fingerprint scanner, 3D facial recognition, voice commands, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and a compass. No stylus is included, and there is no optical disc drive. On the graphics feature side, the machine supports both ray tracing and DLSS, enabling hardware-accelerated lighting effects and AI-based upscaling respectively.
The CPU is a laptop-class processor with a 115W TDP, a clock multiplier of 26, an unlocked multiplier, and a maximum operating temperature of 100°C. It uses big.LITTLE technology, contains 18,900 million transistors, and includes 24MB of L3 cache, NX bit support, and a supported instruction set covering SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, AES, FMA3, F16C, and MMX. The system also features integrated graphics with 16 execution units and supports Intel Resizable BAR for improved CPU-to-GPU data access. The dedicated GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and carries 2560 shading units, 80 texture mapping units, and 48 render output units, with GPU memory running at 2000MHz and an effective speed of 16000MHz across a 96-bit bus, yielding a maximum memory bandwidth of 192 GB/s. It supports OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, stereoscopic 3D, multi-display output, double precision floating point, and ECC memory, while operating across two memory channels with a maximum RAM speed of 4800MHz. LHR is not present on this configuration.
