The Lenovo LOQ 16IRH8 is a Gaming laptop with a weight of 2600 g and a volume of 2088.303 cm³, measuring 359 mm wide, 277 mm tall, and 21 mm thick. It features a backlit keyboard and comes with a 2-year warranty. The laptop does not use a fanless design and is not weather-sealed, and it does not offer splashproofing of any kind.
The laptop features a 16″ IPS LCD panel with LED backlighting, delivering a resolution of 1920 × 1200 px at a pixel density of 141 ppi. Its 144Hz refresh rate makes it well-suited for fast-paced content, while typical brightness sits at 350 nits. The display includes an anti-reflection coating but does not support touch input. The system can drive up to 4 displays simultaneously.
The system is powered by a CPU running at 6 × 2.4 GHz and 4 × 1.8 GHz with a turbo frequency of 4.9GHz, 16 threads, multithreading support, and a 5 nm semiconductor process, paired with 16GB of DDR5 RAM at 5200 MHz across two slots and a maximum expandable capacity of 32GB. Storage is handled by a 1024GB NVMe SSD using PCIe 4.0 and flash memory. On the graphics side, the GPU operates at a base clock of 1545 MHz and a boost of 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 and 64-bit processing; XeSS (XMX) is not supported.
In PassMark testing, the system scores 23,805 in the overall CPU benchmark and 3,569 in the single-threaded result, while the GPU achieves a PassMark G3D score of 17,710.
The laptop offers a varied USB port selection consisting of one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port; there are no Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports, no USB 4 ports, and no USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, while DisplayPort and mini DisplayPort outputs are absent, as is a VGA connector. Wired networking is covered by one RJ45 port, and wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) alongside Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4 support, plus Bluetooth 5.2 and AirPlay. An external memory slot is also present.
The laptop houses a 60 Wh battery and supports sleep-and-charge functionality through its USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the system is powered off. It does not include a MagSafe power adapter.
The laptop includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headset jack, two built-in microphones, and a front camera, 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. Biometric and motion capabilities are absent, with no fingerprint scanner, 3D facial recognition, voice commands, gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, or GPS on board. A stylus is not included.
The GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 3,072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, 48 ROPs, and 64 execution units, running GPU memory at 2,000 MHz for an effective speed of 16,000 MHz and a maximum memory bandwidth of 256 GB/s across a 128-bit bus. It supports multi-display technology, stereoscopic 3D, Double Precision Floating Point, OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, and ECC memory, and does not include LHR. The CPU operates as a Laptop-type processor with a clock multiplier of 24, a 115W TDP, a maximum temperature of 100 °C, 9.5 MB of L2 cache, 24 MB of L3 cache, two memory channels supporting up to 5200 MHz RAM, and integrated graphics with 64 execution units; it uses big.LITTLE technology and carries an NX bit, but does not have an unlocked multiplier. Supported instruction sets include SSE 4.2, SSE 4.1, AVX, AES, FMA3, F16C, and MMX. The PassMark DirectCompute result stands at 6,787, and the GPU is built with 18,900 million transistors.
