Title: Now available to order in many countries: Panther Lake powered Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 releases
Post by: Redaktion on March 09, 2026, 13:51:47
March is here and so is the new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 - almost, at least. The thin premium model that is much more modular than the X1 Carbon Gen 13 can now be ordered with various Panther Lake CPUs.

When you review it, test the 1% FPS lows, because YouTube/Just Josh measured bad 1% FPS lows on all Panther Lake Arc B390 laptops:
Quote from: Panther Lake 1% lows on February 25, 2026, 09:18:33YT/Just Josh tested the Asus ExpertBook Ultra Panther Lake laptop (youtu.be/jduWl1J_4lQ?t=637), but what is up with the 1% FPS lows? He even points it out. Looking at the results, all Panther Lake Arc B390 are affected:

Cyberpunk 2077 (1920x1200, High settings):
ProArt PX13 (RTX 4060 | 95W): 91 FPS 1% lows
LOQ (RTX 5050 | 100W): 53 FPS 1% lows
ExpertBook Ultra (Intel Arc B390): 44 FPS 1% lows
Zenbook Duo (Intel Arc B390): 45 FPS 1% lows
XPS 14 (Intel Arc B390): 36 FPS 1% lows

The LOQ doesn't look too good either.
Now I wonder about Panther Lake' 10% lows, too.

PS: The 2 pre-order configs' RAM is at 8533 MT/s, not 9600 MT/s.
