Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G3 AMD laptop review: Quiet and efficient workhorse with Ryzen power

Lenovo's lineup for business customers is clearly aligned: The standard laptop for the office is the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 G3. For the executive floor and particularly mobile users, Lenovo offers the significantly more expensive ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10. And if that is too expensive but mobility is still important, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G3 represents another option that is supposed to combine the best from both models. An advantage compared to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is that the T14s is also available with AMD processors, such as the AMD Ryzen Pro 6850U included in our test unit today.
Since the T14s G3 always uses the same case, regardless of whether it houses an Intel or AMD processor, this review is a test update. You can find information on the case and design, the equipment, and the input devices in our review of the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G3 Intel.

Size Comparison
Connections
The connections are almost identical to those of the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G3 Intel. The only difference is that instead of two Thunderbolt 4 ports, the ThinkPad T14s G3 AMD offers one USB 4 connection and one USB-C port that supports a maximum of USB 3.2 Gen 2. Both connections can be used for charging via USB-C power delivery, and both also have the DisplayPort alternate mode. To test this, we connected a Thunderbolt 3 eGPU and a Thunderbolt display to the ThinkPad, and both ran without any problems using the USB 4 port.
Communication
The communication equipment is identical, except for the WiFi chip: While the T14s G3 Intel has a WiFi module from Intel, the T14s G3 AMD uses a WiFi chip from Qualcomm. The performance specs are almost identical, and both solutions also perform similarly well in the benchmarks.

Low-Power Display with a Matte Surface
In terms of the display, there are also many similarities to the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G3 Intel. The available display options as well as the display model used in our test unit are identical. Even the model numbers of the 14-inch, 16:10 display are the same: MNE007JA1-1. This is a power-saving low-power panel on IPS basis with a WUXGA resolution (1.920 x 1.200).
Lenovo specifies a brightness value of 400 cd/m², but the display of our Intel test unit remained far below that. Fortunately, our ThinkPad T14s G3 AMD test unit does not confirm this result, and at about 379 cd/m² on average, it is much closer to the target value than the T14s G3 Intel, which only offered 301 cd/m².

The DeltaE values are already very low in the state of delivery, and an average of 1.3 in the Calman ColorChecker is very good. Through a calibration with the X-Rite i1Pro 2 Colorimeter, we are even able to further improve the ColorChecker DeltaE value to an excellent 0.7, which corresponds to an accurate color display without any tint. As always, you can download the profile we created from the link above for free.
Lenovo advertises 100% sRGB for the low-power panel, and we measure 99.8%. This means that nothing should prevent you from using it for image processing tasks at a simple level. However, for the display of the wider AdobeRGB and DCI-P3 color spaces, you'd need to use an external display.

Performance: Ryzen 6000 beats Intel in the multicore performance significantly
Lenovo sells the ThinkPad T14s G3 AMD with two different processor options: the AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U and the Ryzen 5 Pro 6650U. There is no dedicated GPU, and you have to use the integrated AMD Radeon, which is more powerful in the Ryzen 7 (Radeon 680M) than in the Ryzen 5 (Radeon 660M). The working memory is soldered in. Lenovo uses the most current LPDDR5-6400 storage. The maximum available is 32 GB, but for less demanding customers, 8 and 16 GB are also offered. As the storage solution, there is an M.2-2280 SSD that is connected via NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4.
Test Conditions
Lenovo doesn't use its own power management software in its ThinkPad laptops, but the performance modes can be selected directly from the Windows Settings. There are three different modes that differ in terms of the power consumption limits (PL2, which is the short-term power limit, and PL1, which is the long-term power limit):
- Best Power Efficiency: PL2 12 Watt, PL1 12 Watt
- Balanced: PL2 24 Watt, PL1 16.5 Watt
- Best Performance: PL2 30 Watt, PL1 24 Watt
We run our performance tests solely using the "Best Performance" mode, and "Balanced" is used during the WiFi battery test.
Processor
The AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U is a processor of the Ryzen 6000 generation with the codename "Rembrandt." This is a Zen3+ chip with a total of 8 cores and 16 threads. The maximum clock speed is 4.7 GHz and the basic clock speed 2.7 GHz. AMD specifies the typical TDP of this CPU as 15 to 28 watts. You can find more extensive benchmark comparisons in our CPU benchmark list.
In the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G3, the Ryzen 7 delivers a very good performance. In the multicore benchmarks, the T14s places above all the models from the competitors, even in the performance under constant load. However, the picture changes in the single-core performance, where the current Intel model and also the Apple M2 perform slightly better. In addition, the CPU performance overall is minimally better in the ThinkPad T14 G3 with the same processor.
The CPU performance is not limited in battery operation.
