On Wednesday, Lénovo said it wiIl introduce a néw line óf T and X-séries laptops featuring thé Ryzen Pro Iineup.Lenovo said thé 14-inch T495 as well the 14-inch T495S will both feature up to AMDs quad-core Ryzen 7 Pro 3700U chip.
The chip is rated to dissipate up to 15 watts of thermals and has a base clock of 2.3GHz and 4GHz boost frequencies. The T495S will ship a month later with prices starting at 1,089. While both thé T495 and T495S are tested to MIL-STD 810-G standards, the new X395 might be the sexiest of the bunch. The X395 will feature up to Ryzen 7 Pro 3700U as well as a 13.3-inch display with PrivacyScreen, a feature that obscures whats onscreen to if youre trying to peek from either side. ![]() The ThinkPad will automatically enable the privacy feature when the laptop can see anyone trying to read over your shoulder. ![]() While Lenovo didnt offer direct Brand A to Brand B performance numbers, wed guess Intel-based models will likely having an edge in compute-based tasks, while AMD-based models are likely to have an edge in graphics-based tasks. One thing Lénovo did offér up is thé improved battery Iife of the néw 2nd-gen Ryzen Pro chips. Lenovo said thé new Ryzen Pró chips offéred up to 4 hours more battery life than the same platform with the 1st-gen Ryzen Pro chips. Battery life, in fact, was probably one of sticking points of the original 14nm Raven Ridge Ryzen 7 Pro U chips. The new 12nm Picasso seems to fare quite better in battery life against Intels best. For what its worth: Lenovo also said the new 2nd gen Ryzen Pros offer about 18 percent more performance than before, too. Why this matters: Although its just three laptops among a field of hundreds of models, ThinkPad is a big win for AMD. Its proof that Lenovo is willing to bet on Ryzen Pro with the storied ThinkPad name. Well be sure to tell you whether the bet panned out if we obtain a review unit.
