Lenovo ThinkPad P53 Mobile Workstation Rendering Related Benchmarks

Next, we wanted to get a sense of the rendering performance of the Lenovo ThinkPad P53 mobile workstation.

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 is 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.

Again, we see enormous generational improvements with the new Quadro RTX 5000 GPU in the ThinkPad P53.

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.

Redshift v2.6.32

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

As we can see the ThinkPad P53 came in at the highest scoring, fastest mobile workstation in our rendering benchmarks that we have reviewed.

LuxMark

LuxMark is an OpenCL benchmark tool based on LuxRender.

Again, the trend with this notebook is its excellent performance.

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

  2. Any information on cpu throttling? For instance, say I want to know if multi-core workloads will be any faster compared to a max spec 6 core Lenovo x1/p1 thin and light workstation.

    The extra thickness of the p53 should help cooling and thus maintain higher clocks, but it is hard to find any actual tests of this. Could you add this? Perhaps time to do Linux compile for example on different laptops?
