- Lenovo ThinkPad T16g Gen 3 supports up to 192GB DDR5 memory
- A magnesium and aluminum chassis gives the ThinkPad its signature durability
- Intel Core Ultra HX chips bring 24 cores and built-in AI acceleration
Lenovo has quietly introduced the ThinkPad T16g Gen 3, a professional-grade workstation that quietly carries the specifications of a gaming system.
Built for demanding workloads in the AI era, the 16-inch laptop features industry-leading Intel mobile processors and Nvidia’s latest GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs.
While it looks every bit like a professional laptop, its internals suggest performance levels that could appeal to gamers and content creators.
Powerful Intel HX processors with AI acceleration
The T16g Gen 3 is built around the Intel Core Ultra HX series, including the flagship Core Ultra 9 285HX with up to 24 cores and clock speeds of 5.5 GHz.
These processors include Intel’s dedicated neural processing unit, dubbed “Intel AI Boost”, which provides up to 13 trillion operations per second of AI acceleration.
When combined with the computing performance of the CPU and GPU, the laptop achieves up to 36 TOPS of total AI capability.
This makes it suitable for professionals using AI tools in areas such as video editing, data science and software development, although its real advantage over traditional processors remains to be tested.
Unlike previous ThinkPad workstations that used Nvidia’s professional RTX chips, the T16g Gen 3 uses the GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 laptop GPUs.
With up to 24GB of GDDR7 memory, these GPUs provide enough performance for intensive AI processing, real-time ray tracing, and advanced simulation tasks.
This move effectively merges professional reliability and gaming performance, giving the T16g Gen 3 a unique identity in the Lenovo lineup.
Its display options include premium OLED and IPS panels, all X-Rite calibrated and TÜV certified for low blue light, supporting resolutions up to 4K and refresh rates up to 120Hz.
Lenovo has equipped the T16g Gen 3 with plenty of upgrade options, including up to 192GB of DDR5-5600 memory across four SODIMM slots.
Storage support includes three M.2 PCIe drives totaling 12TB, with one slot capable of PCIe 5.0 x4 speeds approaching 16GB/s.
The system maintains the ThinkPad’s reputation for durability, using a magnesium and aluminum chassis that meets MIL-STD-810H standards.
Connectivity options include Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, two USB-A ports and 2.5GB Ethernet, as well as optional 5G and Wi-Fi 7.
This device is powered by a 99.9Wh battery paired with a 180W GaN USB-C charger supporting fast charging up to 80% in one hour.
