Lenovo ThinkPad P1 G4 Laptop Review: BIOS update provides more CPU performance

Name: Lenovo ThinkPad P1 G4-20Y4Z9DVUS
Brand: Lenovo

On par with the vapor chamber models. In our first review of the ThinkPad P1 G4, there were problems with the performance of the Tiger Lake CPU. However, we now observe a significant performance improvement with the latest BIOS version, and the CPU performance is now on par with that of the vapor chamber models.

Business Geforce Laptop ThinkPad Thunderbolt Tiger Lake Workstation

The current version of the ThinkPad P1 G4 and the identically built ThinkPad X1 Extreme G4 are available with two different cooling solutions. Configurations with faster graphics cards (from RTX 3060 or the corresponding RTX A3000) use a more capable vapor chamber cooling.

In our first review unit of the ThinkPad P1 G4 with conventional cooling, we were disappointed by the CPU performance. We now have the same configuration in the editorial office once again, and we wanted to check whether the CPU performance has improved in the meantime with the latest BIOS (version 1.13).

Apart from the change in working memory configuration (now dual-channel), the specifications of today's test device do not differ from the first model of the ThinkPad P1 G4. Therefore, we are again looking at a combination of the Intel Core i7-11800H and the Nvidia T1200. A panel from a different supplier is now being used for the WQHD screen, so we also look at the display characteristics. The main focus, however, is on the CPU performance.

For further information about the ThinkPad P1 G4 and the identically built ThinkPad X1 Extreme G4, we refer you to our previous reviews:

Display: WQHD panel from at least two suppliers

Our review sample of the ThinkPad P1 G4 is once again equipped with the standard WQHD panel (2,560 x 1,600 pixels, 16:10, matte), but the panel ID, and thus the supplier, differs. This BOE panel scores minimally better in the measurements (slightly brighter, slightly higher contrast), but the values are pretty much comparable. Both panels offer very good picture quality without PWM flickering. The response times are slow, but we didn't find them to be problematic.

The panel covers the sRGB color space completely, but the screen should be calibrated for the best possible display quality (our calibrated profile is available for free download in the box below). The two optional 4K displays offer a larger color space coverage (AdobeRGB), but the standard WQHD panel is excellent for normal use.

Display Response Times

ℹ

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
20.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ ms rise
20.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 40 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
40.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ ms rise
40.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 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. » 59 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

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 17900 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance: ThinkPad P1 G4 finally without handbrake applied

Processor: Core i7-11800H

We have now tested several versions of the ThinkPad P1 G4 and the X1 Extreme G4, and the CPU performance has been increased with each new BIOS version. In our first test, we were disappointed because the CPU settled at 40 W after a short time and was thus significantly slower than an average Core i7-11800H. However, with the latest BIOS version 1.13, these limitations are now a thing of the past and the Core i7-11800H performs very well.

The CPU performance is now comparable to the vapor chamber models and is identical to the actually faster Core i9-11950H. This shows that the optional Core i9 processor only offers a minimal performance advantage over the Core i7-11800H in the single-core tests.

In battery mode, the processor's power consumption is limited to 70 W, which leads to a small performance loss of around 15 percent. Further CPU benchmarks are available in our mobile processors comparison section.

Graphics card: Nvidia T1200 with 60 W

The performance of the graphics card has not changed due to the BIOS updates. Nvidia's professional T1200 GPU (based on the TU117 chip of the consumer GeForce GTX 1650 Ti) is still allowed to consume a maximum of 60 W, and the results in the benchmarks are unsurprisingly on the same level as before. In professional benchmarks, you can still see the advantage of professional drivers because even the RTX 3070 can be overtaken in some scenarios.

The performance remains stable even under longer loads, and the demanding Time Spy stress test is passed without problems with a score of 99.2%. This also applies to our gaming stress test with The Witcher 3 wherein the performance remains completely stable. The GPU is allowed to consume a maximum of 35 W in battery mode, which is why the graphics performance drops by about 15%.

Further GPU benchmarks are available here.

Temperature

Surface temperatures under load are now slightly higher than before as the power consumption of the components under combined load has shifted a bit. The dedicated GPU was clearly prioritized in the stress test in our preview review, and it continued to run at 60 W, which is why the processor was throttled to just 20 W. With the latest BIOS 1.13, this ratio has now shifted and the processor settles at 35 W after a few minutes, while the Nvidia T1200 now runs at 45 W.

Energy consumption

The power consumption under load is now significantly higher when the CPU is subjected to greater stress. In the stress test, we determine a maximum of 170.8 W at the beginning of the test, but the value first settles at 122 W for a few minutes and then at 111 W, which is in line with the decreasing TDP of the processor. The standby consumption of slightly north of 2 W is still too high.

Battery life

The battery run times are practically identical to the first review unit of the ThinkPad P1 G4. At a brightness of 150 cd/m² (corresponds to 68% of maximum brightness in this case), our WLAN test runs for just under 9 hours and at maximum brightness for just over 6 hours. Thus, the standard WQHD panel clearly remains the better choice over the optional 4K panels when it comes to endurance.

Verdict - ThinkPad P1 G4 now with more CPU power

In review: Lenovo ThinkPad P1 G4. Test device provided by Lenovo Germany.

Lenovo has now noticeably improved the CPU performance with the latest BIOS version, and it no longer matters whether you choose a configuration with conventional cooling or a model with a stronger GPU and the vapor chamber cooling. Under combined load, the graphics card performance is similar in both versions, whereas the processor with the conventional cooling even has a slight advantage (35 vs. 30 W in the stress test).

Furthermore, our benchmarks also clearly show that the optional Core i9 CPUs do not provide any additional performance compared to the standard Core i7-11800H. The only reason for an upgrade in our eyes is the vPro support that the optional chips offer.

With the latest BIOS 1.13, it no longer matters whether you choose a configuration with conventional or vapor chamber cooling since the CPU performance is more or less on the same level.

The fact that Lenovo relies on several suppliers for the standard WQHD panel is not a big problem for the customer in this case because the performance of the two panels is very comparable, and you will not notice a difference in practice. Thus, you need not worry of a panel lottery like in some older ThinkPad models.
