Title: Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (16" AMD) - Refresh with 6xxxU chips?
Post by: Jose Hidalgo on August 18, 2022, 19:13:32
Hi, I'm interested in this laptop, but sadly it still has the outdated 5700U chip with the old Vega7 iGPU.
I am waiting for Lenovo to refresh it with the new 6xxxU chips, which has to happen sooner or later.
Any thoughts on when this refresh could arrive? Thank you.

Ryzen 6000 production is still low so that too few models get it. Regardless, offering Ryzen 5000 in a model now means that it will keep it until the next major model revision so that the manufacturer can rip off the uninformed endcobsumers. Such products are designed as rip-offs. Same as with Ryzen 6000 but without immediate full USB 4 support.

Well, the IdeaPad Flex 5 with the 5700U chip has been going on since march 2022. I'll wait for as long as it takes: I won't be buying an outdated Vega7 thing!
