Lenovo Unveils First 12-Core AMD Laptop: The Lightweight AI-Ready Mobile Workstation


  • Lenovo’s ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 can accommodate up to 96GB of DDR5 RAM, but this is exclusively supported by CPUs from the Krackan Point series.

  • Rapid Charge provides 80% battery in just 60 minutes with a 65W USB-C adapter.

  • Nevertheless, its battery might have difficulty handling intense workloads.

Lenovo has announced its most powerful AMD laptop yet: the ThinkPad P14s Gen 6, which is set to launch with the 12-core AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 370, making it the company\’s first AMD-powered model to break past the eight-core ceiling.

Targeted at creative experts and individuals requiring portability along with robust AI capabilities and high-performance needs, the ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 can accommodate up to 96GB of DDR5-5600 memory; however, this capacity is exclusive to models equipped with the Krackan Point processors, specifically the Ryzen AI 5 Pro 340 and Ryzen AI 7 Pro 350 chips.

That means the 12-core Strix Point model may be capped at 64GB of soldered memory. While it\’s a limitation, it still offers enough for demanding workloads like 3D rendering or Photoshop, making it a strong candidate for users searching for the

Poor choice of battery

Even though its processing capability might categorize it as one of the
best workstation
In terms of sheer strength, the downside lies with the model’s battery potentially failing to keep up with the power requirements of the chipset.

With a weight of 1.39 kg (3.06 lbs) and a thickness ranging from 10.9 to 16.3 mm, this gadget employs either a 57Whr or 52.5Whr battery, based on the type of processor used.

Even though both batteries are bigger than the
weedy 39.3Whr battery
On the earlier ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 models, they might still face challenges when handling the increased power demands of the newer, stronger processors. Nonetheless, this laptop comes equipped with Rapid Charge technology using a 65W charger, which can boost the battery up to 80% within an hour.

It includes a 14-inch 2.8K OLED display offering 100% DCI-P3 color gamut along with an anti-reflective finish.

It comes with TÜV certifications for Eyesafe and Low Blue Light, features a touchscreen, integrates PrivacyGuard technology, and will be offered in various IPS versions providing up to 500-nit brightness.

The graphics are managed by an integrated AMD Radeon 890M, which is based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture. It offers performance of up to 32 TOPS and comes with support from AMD’s PRO Graphics Driver.

Regarding connectivity options, this device provides WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, an optional 5G or CAT16 WWAN featuring eSIM support, as well as a possible addition of NFC functionality.

The physical connections consist of two USB-C (Thunderbolt 4) ports, two USB-A (5 Gbps) ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, an RJ45 Ethernet connection, a combined headphone and mic jack, along with optional Nano SIM and smart card reader options.

The pricing and stock status are not specified, with the description merely indicating \”coming soon.\” Since the T14 Gen 6 AMD versions probably won\’t be shipped until May or June of 2025, the P14s model is also expected to become available sometime during the summer season at the earliest.
