As a benchmark for business laptops, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon series is highly anticipated with each new generation. The newly launched ThinkPad X1 Carbon 258v is equipped with Intel's latest Core Ultra 7 258V processor, undoubtedly injecting more powerful performance into this classic business laptop. This article will demonstrate the strong capabilities of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 258v through a detailed product review, especially the performance test of the Intel CPU.

Intel CORE ULTRA 7

In the Cinebench R23 test, the Core Ultra 7 258V processor achieved a single-core score of 1888 points. This score is an improvement of approximately 9.26% compared to the 1727 points of the previous generation Ultra5-226V. In practical applications, this means that when processing single-thread tasks, the 258V processor can provide a faster response speed and higher efficiency. For example, when processing large Excel spreadsheets or running a single professional software, users will experience a smoother operation.

CINEBENCH R23 Test Results

In terms of multi-core performance, the Core Ultra 7 258V in Cinebench R23 has a multi-core score that far exceeds that of competitors in the same level. Although the specific score varies depending on the test environment, it generally reflects its strong multi-thread processing ability. When performing multi-task processing or running software that requires high computing power, such as video rendering and 3D modeling, the advantage of multi-core performance will be particularly obvious. This means that business users can run multiple applications simultaneously without worrying about performance bottlenecks.

In the standby state, the power consumption of the Core Ultra 7 258V processor is less than 1W, showing an excellent energy efficiency ratio. And in the high-load state, its power consumption control is also relatively stable. The specific power consumption data is as follows:

· Standby Power Consumption: Less than 1W, ensuring low energy consumption during long standby periods.

Standby Power Consumption

· High Load Power Consumption: In the Cinebench R23 test, the power consumption is approximately 28W (the specific value varies depending on the test environment and heat dissipation conditions), ensuring stability when outputting high performance.

High Load Operating Power Consumption

This feature means a longer battery life and less battery anxiety for business users who need to work outside for a long time.

ThinkPad X1 Carbon 258v is a high-performance, ultra-thin laptop designed for business elites and creative workers. It performs well in terms of performance, display screen, battery life, interfaces, security, and intelligent services. In general, ThinkPad X1 Carbon 258v is a highly recommended laptop.
