FX516PR bottleneck?

[WhereHere1]

Will the cpu bottleneck the GPU on this laptop? It’s only 4 core and now clocks.

Yeah thats not an ideal CPU. Are you particularly looking for a thin solution?

The Legion 5 Pro 16 can be had for similar money but is bulkier. Upside is a far better CPU and the higher TDP 3070 version.

Yeah I saw that but it’s sold out, I think it works out about £200 more expensive

You can get 10% off with the newsletter discount and configure the spec to save a bit too. Dropping one of the two nvme drives cuts £130 off the price.

It was in stock at the start of the week so shouldn't be unavailable for long.

Regardless of that though I wouldn't want a 4c8t CPU at that price. That will bottle neck in current games let alone future titles.

Thanks that’s really cool!

I love the Lenovo laptops too with the rear ports and I heard they have good cooling!
