The Lenovo LOQ 16APH8 is classified as a gaming laptop and has a physical footprint of 359 × 277 mm with a thickness of just 21 mm, giving it a total volume of approximately 2,088 cm³. It weighs 2,600 g and is cooled by an active fan system rather than a fanless design. The keyboard includes backlighting for use in low-light conditions, and the laptop comes with a two-year warranty. It does not feature weather sealing or splash resistance.
The laptop features a 16-inch IPS LCD panel with LED backlighting, rendering at a resolution of 2560 × 1600 pixels and a pixel density of 188 ppi. It operates at a 165 Hz refresh rate, making it well-suited for fast-paced content, and delivers a typical brightness of 350 nits alongside an anti-reflection coating to help manage glare. The display does not support touch input, and the GPU can drive up to four connected displays simultaneously.
The processor runs six cores at 4.3 GHz with a turbo ceiling of 5 GHz, supporting 12 threads and multithreading, and is built on a 5 nm process node. The system comes with 16GB of DDR5 RAM clocked at 5600 MHz across two memory slots, expandable up to 32GB, paired with a 1TB NVMe SSD for flash-based storage. On the graphics side, the GPU operates at a base clock of 1545 MHz and boosts up to 2370 MHz, backed by 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM and 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. The system supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, PCIe 4.0, and 64-bit operation, while XeSS (XMX) is not available on this configuration.
In CPU benchmarking, the system scores 9,208 in Geekbench 6 multi-core and 2,293 in the single-core test, reflecting the processor's threading capability alongside its per-core throughput. The overall PassMark result stands at 22,965, with a single-core PassMark score of 3,652. Graphics performance is measured at 17,710 in the PassMark G3D test, which covers the dedicated GPU's rendering capability.
The laptop's wired port selection includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and one USB 2.0 port, while USB 4, Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, DisplayPort, and mini DisplayPort outputs are absent. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, and a wired network connection is available via one RJ45 port. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) along with backward-compatible Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4, 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 an 80 Wh battery and includes sleep-and-charge functionality, allowing connected USB devices to be charged even when the system is not actively running. It does not use a MagSafe power adapter.
For audio, the laptop includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headset jack, and two built-in microphones, though Dolby Atmos and an S/PDIF output are not available. A front camera is present, but there is no fingerprint scanner, 3D facial recognition, or voice command support. On the graphics side, the system supports both ray tracing and DLSS, adding hardware-accelerated lighting and upscaling capabilities to its feature set. Motion and location sensors — including a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS — are not included, nor is a stylus or an optical disc drive.
The dedicated GPU is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features 3,072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 render output units, with a memory bus width of 128 bits, an effective memory speed of 16,000 MHz, and a maximum memory bandwidth of 256 GB/s at a GPU memory speed of 2,000 MHz. It contains 18,900 million transistors and supports OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, stereoscopic 3D, multi-display output, and double precision floating point, while LHR is not present. The integrated GPU is identified as the Radeon 760M and has 8 execution units. On the CPU side, the laptop-class processor carries a 115W TDP, a clock multiplier of 43, and a maximum rated temperature of 100 °C; it supports the NX bit and instruction sets including MMX, AES, AVX, AVX2, FMA3, F16C, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, but does not use big.LITTLE technology or an unlocked multiplier. Cache is organized as 384 KB L1, 6 MB L2 at 1 MB per core, and 16 MB L3 at 2.67 MB per core, with two memory channels and a maximum supported RAM speed of 7,500 MHz. The PassMark DirectCompute result is 6,787, and the overclocked PassMark score reaches 24,911.
