Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 (Intel): specs and configurations (19)

Performance score

Ultra 7 255H · Arc 140T fastest configuration

27.05

Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 (Intel) is a Lenovo laptop released Q2 2025. It comes in 19 configurations: CPUs Core Ultra 7 255H, Core Ultra 7 265U, Core Ultra 5 225H, Core Ultra 9 185H, Core Ultra 5 235U, Core Ultra 5 225U; graphics Arc 140V, Arc 130V, Arc 140T, Intel Arc Graphics (Meteor Lake), Arc 130T, Intel Iris Xe Graphics. The fastest is Ultra 7 255H · Arc 140T (score 27.05), the most basic 3 100U · Intel Iris Xe Graphics (14.11) — the gap between them is what the extra money buys.

A laptop's score is the average of its CPU and graphics scores by our calculation, not a benchmark. Graphics are counted at their power (TGP) in this very laptop: the same RTX 4070 at 60 W is slower than at 140 W.

Real tests

What the test measures

Blender is a popular free 3D graphics program. The test makes the device render three ready-made 3D scenes (light, shadows, reflections) and counts how many render passes it finishes per minute. The higher the number, the faster the device handles heavy work: 3D, video editing, photo processing. On a CPU the test loads all cores at once, so it shows the chip's full power; on a graphics card it shows its compute strength.
