Ryzen 7 7745HX performance debut: Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16 Gen 8 laptop review
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16ARX8 is the AMD version of the Intel Legion Pro 5 16IRX8. Both models utilize the same Legion Pro 5 16 Gen 8 chassis and are otherwise visually identical. We recommend checking out our existing review on the Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 to learn more about the physical features of the model as many of our comments still apply for the Legion Pro 5 16ARX8.
Our test unit is a higher-end configuration with the Zen 4 Ryzen 7 7745HX CPU, 140 W GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, and 165 Hz 1600p IPS display retailing for approximately $1600 USD. Other SKUs may include the Ryzen 5 7645HX, GeForce RTX 4050, or 240 Hz IPS display. This particular model is one of the first to ship with the midrange Ryzen 7 7745HX whereas earlier Zen 4 laptops were only available with the pricier Ryzen 9 7945HX.
Competitors in this space include other midrange to high-end gaming laptops like the Asus ROG Strix G16, Razer Blade 16, Uniwill GM6PX7X, or MSI Pulse GL76. The Legion 7 series is one step above our Legion Pro 5 with much faster CPU and GPU options to select from.

Case — Same Look With Identical Ports
The AMD Legion Pro 5 16ARX8 shares the same chassis as the Intel Legion Pro 5 16IRX8. While there are usually a few port differences between most AMD and Intel variants, there are actually none between these two models since Lenovo has opted to exclude both USB 4 and Thunderbolt support on all Legion 5 Pro SKUs regardless of CPU option. This can be seen as a way to force users to consider the more expensive Legion 7 series instead which includes Thunderbolt support by default.
Communication
The AMD model swaps out the common Intel AX211 for the less common MediaTek MT7922. Performance is otherwise steady and reliable when paired to our 6 GHz network.

Display — 165 Hz, 1600p, and Full sRGB
Interestingly, our AMD-powered Legion Pro 5 16ARX8 utilizes a different IPS panel than on the Intel-powered Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 (CSOT MNG007DA1-Q vs. AU Optronics B160QAN03.1) even though both panels have a similar 165 Hz native refresh rate, 1600p native resolution, ~1000:1 contrast ratio, and full 100% sRGB coverage. The CSOT panel has slightly faster black-white and gray-gray response times, but the differences are marginal at best for an essentially identical viewing experience.
A second panel is available that promises an even brighter 500-nit backlight and faster 240 Hz refresh rate. Our measurements below reflect only the base 165 Hz panel.

The display comes pre-calibrated out of the box with excellent average grayscale and color DeltaE values of just 1.4 and 1.13, respectively. Attempting to calibrate the display even further with our X-Rite colorimeter would actually improve grayscale and color deltaE values to just <0.5 each. Even so, an end-user calibration is generally not necessary if deltaE values are already <2.

The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 16 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.8 ms). |

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8705 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |
Outdoor visibility is average for the category as the displays on most gaming laptops typically range between 300 to 400 nits. The 240 Hz panel option promises to be 500 nits or about 200 nits brighter than our 165 Hz panel which should improve outdoor visibility if it is a concern. Regardless, you'll want to work under shade whenever possible to minimize glare and preserve colors.
Performance — Midrange Zen 4 Ryzen 7
Testing Conditions
We set our unit to Performance mode via both Windows and the Lenovo Vantage software prior to running any benchmarks below. We also made sure to set the graphics to dGPU mode with the preset GPU Overclock feature active. It's recommended to become familiar with Vantage as it is the main interface for controlling keyboard lighting features, Lenovo-specific updates, GPU behavior, and more.
MUX is supported for switching between Optimus (iGPU + dGPU) or dGPU only. G-Sync is supported on the internal display only when on dGPU mode. A reboot is required when switching between Optimus and dGPU modes since Advanced Optimus is not supported. Annoyingly, the rebooting process when switching between graphics modes would be much longer than a regular reboot.
Processor
After experiencing the incredible Zen 4 Ryzen 9 7945HX only to let down by the underwhelming Zen 3 Ryzen 7 7735HS, we weren't sure what to expect from the Zen 4 Ryzen 7 7745HX. Thankfully, results are excellent for a midrange CPU with single- and multi-thread performance scores that are 15 percent and 30 percent higher, respectively, than the Ryzen 7 7735HS. The Ryzen 7 7745HX is therefore within reach of the competing Core i7-13700HX by just 5 to 15 percent in most benchmarks including LibreOffice and HWBOT x265 4K. It's definitely a reasonable upgrade from last year's Ryzen 7 6800H or Ryzen 9 6900HX when compared to the Ryzen 7 7735HX.
Lenovo offers a slower Ryzen 5 7645HX option with fewer cores than the Ryzen 7 7745HX (6 vs. 8). However, we've yet to personally test the Ryzen 5 7645HX as of this writing and so the performance differences between the two options are unknown for now.

Storage Devices — Up To Two PCIe4 x4 Drives
Our unit ships with a 1 TB Samsung PM9A1 NVMe SSD which is one of the fastest consumer PCIe4 x4 SSDs available. Transfer rates top out at about 6600 MB/s, but performance would throttle to as low as 3300 MB/s after just a few minutes into our stress test as shown by the graph below. The results suggest that the SSD in the Lenovo isn't being properly cooled as the same SSD in other laptops like the Uniwill GM6PX7X can sustain higher transfer rates for much longer periods.

GPU Performance — An Upper-Midrange Graphics Card
Raw graphics performance is comparable to last year's mobile eForce RTX 3070 Ti. The 140 W TGP target allows the mobile RTX 4070 in the Lenovo to marginally outperform most other laptops with the same GPU.
Downgrading to the mobile RTX 4060 or mobile RTX 4050 SKUs is expected to decrease performance by 15 percent and 20 percent, respectively. There is unfortunately no mobile RTX 4080 option which would have boosted performance significantly by 40 to 50 percent over our mobile RTX 4070. Instead, such high-end GPU options are reserved for Lenovo's top-end Legion 7 series.
Running the dGPU on the balanced power profile with no overclocking would decrease graphics performance by about 13 percent according to 3DMark Time Spy.
