The Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 is a gaming laptop with a compact footprint of 359 x 258 x 21 mm and a total volume of 1945.062 cm³, weighing 2380 g. It features an active cooling system rather than a fanless design, and includes a backlit keyboard for use in low-light environments. The chassis is not weather-sealed, so it offers no splash resistance. A 2-year warranty is included as standard.
The laptop features a 15.6″ IPS LCD panel with LED backlighting, running at a 1920 x 1080 resolution and a pixel density of 141 ppi. With a 144Hz refresh rate and typical brightness of 300 nits, the display is well-suited for fast-paced content, and an anti-reflection coating helps reduce glare in varied lighting conditions. The screen does not support touch input, and the system can drive up to 4 displays simultaneously.
The system is powered by a 10-core, 16-thread CPU built on a 5 nm process, with six cores clocked at 2.4 GHz and four efficiency cores at 1.8 GHz, boosting up to 4.6 GHz, and it supports 64-bit computing along with multithreading. It is paired with 32GB of DDR5 RAM running at 4800 MHz across 2 memory slots, which also represents the maximum supported memory capacity. Storage is handled by a 1024GB NVMe SSD using flash storage and a PCIe 4 interface. On the graphics side, the GPU runs at a base clock of 1545 MHz and boosts up to 2370 MHz, backed by 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, delivering 14.56 TFLOPS of floating-point performance, a texture rate of 227.52 GTexels/s, and a pixel rate of 113.76 GPixel/s, with support for DirectX 12 Ultimate; XeSS (XMX) is not supported.
In CPU benchmarks, the laptop scores 2337 in Geekbench 6 single-core and 11891 in Geekbench 6 multi-core, alongside a PassMark single-core result of 3553 and an overall PassMark score of 25071. GPU performance is reflected in a PassMark G3D score of 17710.
The laptop offers a wired and wireless connectivity setup that includes three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, and a single RJ45 Ethernet port for wired networking. Video output is handled via HDMI 2.1, while Thunderbolt 3 and 4, DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, and VGA outputs are absent. There is no external memory card slot. On the wireless side, the machine supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) along with Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4, paired with Bluetooth 5.2, and AirPlay is also supported.
The laptop is equipped with a 60 Wh battery and includes sleep-and-charge USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the laptop is powered off or in sleep mode. A MagSafe power adapter is not supported.
The laptop includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headset jack, and dual microphones for audio input and output, though Dolby Atmos and S/PDIF output are not available. A front camera is present, while biometric options such as a fingerprint scanner and 3D facial recognition are absent, and voice commands are not supported. On the graphics feature side, the machine supports ray tracing and DLSS, making these capabilities available for compatible applications. Motion and location sensors — including a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS — are not included, no stylus is bundled, and there is no optical disc drive.
The CPU is a laptop-class processor with a clock multiplier of 24, a maximum operating temperature of 100 °C, a TDP of 115W, and an unlocked multiplier, while employing big.LITTLE technology and supporting instruction sets including SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, AES, FMA3, F16C, and MMX, along with an NX bit for hardware-level security. It carries 16 MB of L2 cache and 20 MB of L3 cache, supports ECC memory across 2 memory channels, and includes integrated graphics with 16 execution units. The discrete GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features 3072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 render output units, with GDDR6 memory running at 2000 MHz and an effective memory speed of 16000 MHz, delivering a maximum bandwidth of 256 GB/s over a 128-bit bus; RAM is supported up to 4800 MHz. The GPU also supports multi-display output, stereoscopic 3D, and Double Precision Floating Point, and does not use LHR. On the compute side, it is compatible with OpenCL 3 and OpenGL 4.6, and the PassMark DirectCompute result stands at 6787. The chip contains 18900 million transistors.
