Intel Edges Out AMD in Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 7 Showdown
[CITY, STATE] โฃ – In a head-to-head comparison of โthe Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 7, Intel’s Coreโ Ultra 7 155H processor and superior display have proven to be the winning โคcombination for this affordable business laptop, according to a recent review by NotebookCheck.net. The โfindings offer crucial guidance for consumers weighing options between AMD and โIntel processors in thier next PC purchase.
The ThinkPad E14โ Gen 7 is available in both AMD and Intel configurations, โprompting a detailedโ analysis of theโ two versions. The AMD model โคfeaturesโฃ a Ryzenโข 7 7735HS processor wiht eight Zen 4 cores, whileโ the Intelโ version boasts โa Core Ultra 7 155H with a hybrid architecture of 16 cores (6 P-cores, 8 E-cores, and 2 LPE cores).
A key differentiator lies in the display: the Intel ThinkPad E14 Gen 7 utilizes a 2.8K (2,880 xโข 1,800) IPS screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, significantly outperforming the AMD model’s standard 1.920 x 1,200 IPS display โคrunning โat 60Hz.Otherโค specifications, including battery size and cooling systems, remain consistent between โthe two. The AMDโ version is power-limited to 35W, while the Intel model operates โat 28W.
Testing revealed the Intel processor generally outperforms the AMD Ryzen 7 inโข mostโ benchmarks. While the AMD processor demonstrated better sustained performance under heavy load, the Intel Core Ultra 7 exhibited approximately 25% faster single-core performance.
Despite the Intel model’s more power-hungry screen, battery life remained comparable in Wi-Fi web browsing tests.The AMD version ran slightly cooler and quieter under load. Though, NotebookCheck.netโ notes that with a comparable display, the Intel model โฃwould likelyโ deliver significantly longer battery โlife.
“if AMD has often won victory in recent โyears, Intel is simply the best option here,” โthe review concludes. “A much better screen associated with a more efficient and powerful processor offers a better user experiance, โฃeven if the AMD model is slightly colderโฃ and less noisy.”
