Lenovo ThinkPad P72 Review a Powerful Mobile Workstation

Lenovo ThinkPad P72 Mobile Workstation Rendering Benchmarks

Next, we wanted to get a sense of the rendering performance of the Lenovo ThinkPad P72 Mobile Workstation.

Cinebench R15

Cinebench is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. The test scenario uses all of your system’s CPU processing power to render a photorealistic 3D scene. This scene makes use of various algorithms to stress all available processor cores. You can also run this test with a single core mode to give a single core rating.

In Cinebench R15 the Intel Xeon E-2186M in this Lenovo ThinkPad P72 shows improvements over Core i7-8850H found in our ThinkPad P52 in single core benchmarks but falls slightly behind in multi-core results.

Arion v2.5

Arion Benchmark is a standalone render benchmark based on the commercially available Arion render software from RandomControl. The benchmark is GPU-accelerated using NVIDIA CUDA. However, it’s unique in that it can run on both NVIDIA GPUs and CPUs.

Download the Arion Benchmark from here. First-time users will have to register to download the benchmark.

MAXON Cinema4D 3D

ProRender is an OpenCL based GPU renderer which is available in MAXON’s Cinema4D 3D animation software. A fully functional 42-day trial version is available for downloaded from the MAXON website here. Note: Even after expiration, the trial can still be used to measure render times.

Here we see the higher-end NVIDIA Quadro P5200 outperform the Quadro P3200.

Redshift v2.6.32

Redshift is GPU-accelerated renderer with production-quality output. A demo version of this benchmark can be found here.

Again, we are seeing around a 29% decrease in rendering time due to the higher-end GPU.

Next, we will finish up with power consumption, boot times, and our final thoughts.
