Lenovo ThinkPad L16 Gen 1 AMD laptop review: Powerful hardware in a modest guise
AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7735U | AMD Radeon 680M | 16.00" | 1.9 kg
The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7735U is a processor for mid-sized laptops based of the Rembrandt refresh generation. The R7 7735U integrates all eight cores based on the Zen 3+ microarchitecture. They are clocked at 2.7 (guaranteed base clock) to 4.75 GHz (Turbo) and support SMT / Hyperthreading (16 threads). The chip is manufactured on the modern 6 nm TSMC process. Compared to the previous Ryzen 7 6800U, the 7735U offers 50 MHz higher boost clock and a slightly higher TDP of 28W (vs 15-25W). In comparison to the similar Ryzen 7 7735U, the PRO variant is aimed at business use and supports additional manageability and security features.
The Zen 3+ is a refresh of the Zen 3 architecture and should not offer a lot of changes. The chip offers modern features, like support for USB 4 (40 Gbps), PCI-E Gen 4 and DDR5-4800MT/s or LPDDR5-6400MT/s.
Performance
The average 7735U in our database is in the same league as the Core i7-1270P, Ryzen 5 6600H, Ryzen 7 5825U, Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned. The chip is absolutely capable of making most consumers happy, as of mid 2023; of course, your mileage may vary depending on how competent the cooling solution of your system is and how high the CPU power limits are.
The integrated GPU Radeon 680M is still one of the fastest iGPUs (only bested by the new Radeon 780M). It is based on the RDNA2 architecture and offers 12 CUs at up to 2.2 GHz.
The Ryzen PRO 7735U is manufactured in 6nm FinFET at TSMC and specified at a TDP of 28W.
