JULY 2019 PCWorld 59You’re not buying a
ThinkPad for games, but
the X390 does nicely
against similar laptops in
3DMark’s graphics test.ThinkPad X390, which
took about 65 minutes
to encode our test
.MKV video file to a
smaller .MP4 file.
Dell’s XPS 13 fared
better, but overall it
shows that the laptop
makes good use of its
quad-core CPU over a
prolonged period of
heavy use.
As for Cinebench,
which tests the CPU in
short bursts, the X390
fell in the middle of the
pack among Core
i7-8565U laptops for
multi-threaded
performance. That
said, it did well in the
single-threaded test,
which better reflectsWhile the multi-threaded
results are nothing
special, the ThinkPad
X390 does well in
Cinebench’s single-
threaded benchmark.Dell XPS 13 9380
