Unexpectedly, many people have not used the 13th generation Core laptop now, and the upgraded version of Intel is here again. This time, Intel brought the first generation of Core Ultra processors, and there are also some new notebook releases, including Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro16. This notebook is priced at 5999 yuan, using a Core Ultra5-125H processor, ** and the same as the previous generation when it was first released, it was 5999 yuan. So what's so good about this notebook, and is it worth buying?
Let's start with a brief introduction to this new set of processors. Intel's first-generation Core Ultra has changed a lot compared with the previous generation, mainly the core module has been split, from the original chip to the "glue quad-core", but this is just the appearance.
Core Ultra is actually on the mobile platform to change a chip into four chips, including CPU, GPU, SOC and peripheral controller, the internal bus connection between the functional modules has become an external bus connection, the previous idea of reducing power consumption purely by reducing the frequency has become which one is needed, and the other parts are standby, so it seems that the change is very big.
I won't say much about the CPU architecture changes, after all, I'm still digesting it, especially the AI enhancement part, it's difficult to make a direct comparison with the previous generation Core, let's take a brief look at the performance data provided by the official.

Compared with the previous generation, compared with Ryzen 7-7840U, the performance improvement of the first-generation Core Ultra processor is not small, but these are all Ultra7-155H data, Xiaoxin Pro16 2024 uses Ultra5-125H, the improvement is not so large, but it is also significant in some scenarios.
As for the GPU part, due to the adjustment of the architecture, it is impossible to make a direct comparison with the previous generation. But judging from some information on the Internet, the ultra7 series is equivalent to 128EU, and the ultra5 series is equivalent to 112EU, and the game performance is about 15% higher than that of Ryzen 7-7840U, which is a successful counterattack. Specific to Xiaoxin Pro16 2024, the official introduction says that the performance is 2 more than that of the 13th generation Core i54 times.
In terms of heat dissipation, Xiaoxin PRO16 2024 adopts the design of dual fans and dual heat pipes, which is the same as the previous generation. But considering that the energy efficiency of the first generation Core Ultra is very high, this cooling module is of course quite easy, even a little too easy, to suppress the Ultra5. The Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro16 2024 also weighs 191 kg, now it is actually unnecessary, it is one of the few shortcomings in the notebook.
In terms of screen, the notebook is equipped with a 16-inch high-resolution screen, 2560 1600 resolution, 120Hz high refresh rate, support 100% sRGB high color gamut, and an average δe of 15. And it is claimed to support "chip-level" color calibration, which roughly means that there is a separate module to store the color calibration file, and there is no need to find ICC files again after factory reset.
Expansion interface part,Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro16 2024 seems more generous,2USB3.2 ports, 1 USB Type-C port, 1 Thunderbolt 4 port, 1 SD card reader, plus HDMI20, which is enough to cope with most work scenarios.
To sum up, in addition to being a bit heavy, Xiaoxin Pro16 2024 is quite good in all aspects, especially the AI performance of Core Ultra is good, and the application prospects are broad, but it still needs to be developed. The notebook is 5999 yuan** is the same as the previous generation, and the large screen office will be very comfortable. But as a new product, how good it is still needs user feedback, of course, if you are willing to try it, it is a very good choice.
