This early listing indicates that Lenovo's Legion 5 Pro gaming laptop should be released shortly. This might be revealed with Intel 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh processors with the debut of numerous other laptops at CES 2024. The date of this event is early January. After reviewing the desktop CPU, the i9-14900K, we discovered that the generation-to-generation gains were, at most, negligible.

The 16-inch screen on the Legion 5 Pro laptop will feature a brightness of 500 nits and a resolution of 2560 x 1600. It is an IPS panel that supports G-Sync and has a refresh rate of 165 Hz.The product description also mentions Wi-Fi 6 with Bluetooth 5.1. Given that it weighs 2.55 kg, it is anticipated that Lenovo's next Legion laptop would have a powerful cooling system.It is reported that the CPU has 8 P-Cores. The i9-14900HX (performing cores) equipped with 16 E-Cores It is a CPU with 24 cores & 16 threads (efficiency cores). For this CPU, the maximum P-core clock speed is 5.50GHz, while the highest E-core clock speed is 3.70 GHz. Moreover, 36MB of Intel Smart Cache will be included.Regarding the i7-14650HX, it is composed of 8 P-cores and 8 E-cores, for a 16-core & 14-thread arrangement. The performance and efficiency core clock speeds of the Core i7 variant are said to be 5.0GHz and 3.70GHz, respectively.

Intel 14th Gen: Raptor Lake Refresh vs. Core Ultra
On these specific CPUs, overall performance will take precedence above efficiency. New Core Ultra processors are likely to provide gaming laptops with much longer battery lives than alternatives like this Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with Intel 14th Gen Raptor Lake HX CPUs.Additionally, those Core Ultra computers will be more portable. Low Power Island, or LP E-core, is the newest core type from Intel, and it will be available for 14th Gen Core Ultra processors instead of this 14th Gen i9-14900HX.It is therefore not anticipated that new laptops equipped with 14th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs would provide significant advancements, in line with our previous observations on Intel 14th Gen desktop CPUs. Nevertheless, except from a few gaming laptops equipped with top-tier Intel 14th Gen Meteor Lake-based Core Ultra CPUs.In comparison to the Meteor-Lake based Core Ultra 5 & 7 processors, the Raptor Lake-based 14th gen CPUs (i9-14900HX & i7-14650HX) will provide greater core counts & higher power limits.According to Intel, the Core Ultra 9 185H has an unlocked power limit of up to 115W, which may be customized by the manufacturer. The unlocked power limit of this specific gaming laptop is unknown, however the i9-13950HX that we evaluated on a MSI Titan GT77 HX reached 157W...What do you think of this Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with Intel 14th Gen CPUs based on the Raptor Lake Refresh architecture and graphics from the Nvidia RTX 40 series? Out of all the forthcoming laptops featuring Core Ultra and Raptor Lake HX CPUs, which Intel 14th generation model would you pick? Tell us in the comments section below.
