Lenovo ThinkPad E14 laptop review: Intel CPU loses against AMD Ryzen, but what else is new?

Competitor from our own warehouse. We have already tested the ThinkPad E14 with Intel Core i5-10210U and integrated UHD Graphics, now the variant with a stronger Core i7 and dedicated Radeon RX 640 follows. However, the second generation of the ThinkPad E14 has already been released, initially only with a Ryzen 5 processor. The E14 Gen 2 with Intel Tiger Lake will follow later.

The ThinkPad E14 is the legitimate successor to the ThinkPad E490. We have already tested the E14 Gen 2 with AMD Ryzen 5 4500U and Vega 6 R4000, now we have another Gen 1 version with Intel Core i7-10510U and dedicated AMD Radeon RX 640. While Gen 2 in the pure AMD version costs 630 Euros (~$748), the Intel Gen 1 version with dedicated AMD graphics costs about 950 Euros (~$1,128). Of course, we compare both models and also look at the sister model with weaker CPU and iGPU as well as the predecessor to see what has changed since the E490. The comparison units are listed below.

Since we've already tested the ThinkPad E14, we won't go any further into the areas of case, equipment, maintenance, input devices, display and speakers - unless of course there are differences. These features can be found in the test of the sister model.

Barely perceptible screen bleeding

Keep your eyes open when you buy a ThinkPad: The E14 is available with either an IPS or worse TN panel. But the IPS option is not the same either. The panel here hardly does a better job than the screen we criticized in the AMD-E14. Although the black level and contrast are much higher, it is even darker. 229 nits is a weak result even for the entry level.

The screen is poorly calibrated at the factory and the color deviations are high. A separate calibration brings the colors to acceptable values. The panel from the same manufacturer in the sister model was better overall, as it is brighter with the same high contrast.

By the way, screen bleeding is almost imperceptible.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
29.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 15.6 ms rise
↘ 14 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 76 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
42 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 21.6 ms rise
↘ 20.4 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 63 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18071 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The viewing-angle stability is quite good, which is typical for IPS panels. However, a bit of brightness is lost when looking at the display from the sides at an angle.

Performance - Intel in E14 clearly behind AMD

The ThinkPad has a Comet Lake Intel Core i7-10510U CPU. It has 16 GB RAM at its side, and graphically more-demanding tasks are handled by the AMD Radeon RX 640. The equipment turns the ThinkPad into an office laptop with all-round potential, so occasional image-editing or video-editing tasks or even light gaming are possible.

Processor

The Intel Core i7-10510U is built into our test unit. Its four cores (8 threads) clock between 1.8 and 4.8 GHz. The potentially weaker Intel Core i5-10210U is also available as an option.

In the Cinebench loop, the performance drops by 8 to 10% after the first pass and then fluctuates around this value. The Asus VivoBook with the same CPU is on a similar performance level, but the Ryzen 5 4500U in the AMD-E14 is about 40 to 50% faster in the multithread test. Even the older E490 with Whiskey Lake CPU is minimally faster (2-5%). Nevertheless, the CPU performance is in line with expectations.

But during the Cinebench multi-loop a strange picture emerges: The TDP regularly jumps up to 25 W for a few seconds but is throttled down to 15 W most of the time. Similarly, the fans also regularly start up briefly, as do the clock rates (from 2.5 to 3.2 GHz). The 15 W level is regularly held for 30 seconds, then it is ramped up to 25 W for about 5 seconds, then down to 15 W again. The drivers do not seem to be optimized here.

The ThinkPad E14 does not lose any performance in battery mode.

System Performance

In the PCMark tests, all the comparison devices are quite close together. Overall, the AMD Ryzen version is probably a bit faster, but even the older E490 is at least equal in most tests. The performance of our test unit is at least half of what we expected, but could be about 5% better. No unusual delays are noticeable in everyday work.

DPC latencies

Opening several browser tabs didn't cause any problems, but playing our 4K/60 Hz YouTube video did. Especially the ACPI driver and the kernel mode driver caused problems, and there were five dropped frames during video playback.

Mass Storage

Lenovo installs a 512 GB SSD from Western Digital. Whether the same model is always used is unclear; in the configurator, only the size of the SSD can be selected (256 or 512 GB), information on the model is missing. The SSD of our test unit achieves decent transfer values. In our SSD/HDD list it occupies 88th position, so there are definitely faster models.

Graphics card

The Intel UHD Graphics 620 integrated in the CPU has already collected some dust on it and is supported in the E14 by the AMD Radeon RX 640, which is roughly comparable to a GeForce MX150 or MX250. It won't be able to handle demanding games, but occasional gaming is possible with strong limitations. Above all, it is useful for (en)coding tasks, so you should have a more fluent experience in image and video-editing.

In the 3DMark tests, the Intel E14 with its dedicated GPU is for the first time clearly ahead of the Ryzen E14 with integrated GPU. Our test model is about 20% faster in the synthetic 3D benchmarks. But the old E490 with Intel Core i7-8565U and AMD Radeon RX 550X is just as fast. The competition with the MX250 is about as fast, and there might be slight advantages for the Nvidia card. The E14 passes the 3DMark stress test with 97.9%, so its performance remains relatively stable.

Away from the power outlet, the laptop loses about a third of its 3D performance in 3DMark 11.

Gaming Performance

The Witcher 3 can be played in medium resolution (1366x720) and details, but it is not enough for FullHD. The same applies to Rise of the Tomb Raider, with less-demanding titles like Dota 2 Reborn also available in 1080p. The competition with the MX250 is similar, but the higher the resolution and details, the greater the gap in favor of Nvidia GPUs. The Ryzen E14 with integrated RX Vega 6 is about 20% slower.

Emissions - Average Lenovo ThinkPad

Noise emissions

The fans are almost always active in "Best Performance" mode, even in idle, for example during a Steam download of a game, although no other loads were applied. Here it helps to adjust the power status to "Better performance" or "More battery efficiency", and then the fans are much quieter or turn off completely.

Under heavier load, the ThinkPad E14 stays a bit quieter than the competition with the MX250, but overall it gets a bit louder than the Ryzen E14. The sister model with iGPU and Core i5 is a lot quieter. For an office laptop, it is not really quiet under load, but not disturbingly loud either. Given the dedicated GPU, the volume is okay.

Temperature

Our test model warms up under load a bit more than its Ryzen counterpart, but still a lot has changed compared to the E490, because the latter became much hotter. Towards the screen it can still get up to 50 °C, and even on the bottom, so balancing on the thighs is no longer recommended. The palm-rests remain comparatively cool, and everything is in the pleasant range in idle anyway.

Even at the beginning of our stress test, the clock rates of 1.7 GHz are already below the base clock of 1.8 GHz. For 10 to 20 minutes this clock rate is held, and then it goes further down. After one hour, the clock rates jump back and forth quite wildly between 800 MHz and 1.3 GHz, with core temperatures fluctuating in parallel between 80 °C and 87 °C. Here, the cooling system may not be well optimized. The GPU clock drops only by about 80 MHz in the same period.

Speakers

The simple stereo loudspeakers in the laptop will not appeal to audiophiles, as is often the case. They play a bit too quiet and of course lack bass. In addition to HDMI and USB-C, the combined jack port is ideal for the connection of external devices.

Power Management - Jumpy Intel ThinkPad

Energy consumption

The Intel system is somewhat more economical in idle than the AMD variant. But under stress this trend turns around, which is probably mainly due to the dedicated GPU. We measure a jump between 63 and 52 W, so the 65 W power supply should be sufficient; after all, the consumption under The Witcher 3 Ultra is 54 W.

Battery life

The ThinkPad lasts about eight hours in the WLAN test, which is about the same as the Ryzen model. The times are also very similar for video viewing, at around 8.7 hours. The battery life of the Ryzen-E14 device only drops unusually sharply in the load test: while our test unit reaches a normal 1.5 hours, the Ryzen-E14 runs out after only 55 minutes. The runtimes are appropriate for the class and battery size.

Verdict - A neat ThinkPad, but superfluous

The ThinkPad E14, provided by
The ThinkPad E14, provided by

The ThinkPad E14 with Intel CPU is a good but also quite spartan all-rounder. The good keyboard and the TouchPad speak for it, which is why a ThinkPad is always good for work.

However, the Gen-2-Ryzen version of the ThinkPad E14 has the same advantages. Actually, there are hardly any reasons to buy the Gen-1 Intel version now, quite the contrary: The AMD processor in the Gen 2 is up to 50% faster on the road, the RAM runs, unlike here, in dual-channel mode, and it also stays a bit quieter and cooler and is 300 Euros (~$356) cheaper!

At most, the dedicated graphics, which generates about 20% more performance in corresponding applications, speaks for the Intel variant. Whether the 20% more 3D performance is worth the more than 300-Euro (~$356) surcharge is highly doubtful, if only because of the many other disadvantages compared to the newer AMD variant. The ThinkPad E14 with Ryzen 5 is clearly the better package!

The ThinkPad E14 is a good work computer with all-round potential. However, there is already the E14 Gen 2 with AMD Ryzen CPU, and that is superior in almost all areas! If you do not need the dedicated GPU, which is about 20% faster, you should go for the Ryzen version, otherwise you will have to wait for the Intel Gen 2 with Tiger Lake.
