AI-ready performance
At the heart of the system is the Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, a 20‑core, 20‑thread hybrid processor with 8 performance cores, 12 efficient cores, and boost clocks up to 5.3 GHz, backed by 30 MB of Intel Smart Cache. It supports modern AI frameworks and features dedicated acceleration (Intel DL Boost) so AI‑enhanced tasks such as upscaling, background effects, and content tools can run more efficiently alongside games and everyday applications. Lenovo’s AI Engine+ software then uses telemetry from the CPU, GPU, and thermals to auto‑tune power and performance profiles per game, balancing speed, noise, and temperatures dynamically.
RTX 5070 Ti graphics
Graphics are handled by an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti with 16 GB of GDDR7 VRAM on a 256‑bit bus, based on NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell architecture. With 8,960 CUDA cores, boost clocks around 2.45–2.64 GHz, and up to roughly 896 GB/s of memory bandwidth, this class of card is designed for ultra‑settings 1440p and very capable 4K gaming with ray tracing enabled, especially when combined with DLSS 4 frame generation. As part of the RTX 50‑series family, it also supports the newest RTX AI features, Reflex 2 latency optimizations, and NVIDIA Studio tools for creators.
Memory, storage, and cooling
The Tower 5i ships with 32 GB of DDR5 running at around 5600 MHz, giving ample capacity and bandwidth for modern games, streaming stacks, and creator workloads like video editing or 3D rendering. A 1 TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD provides fast system and game storage, yielding quick Windows boots, near‑instant level loads, and enough space for a sizeable game library before needing secondary drives. Cooling is handled by Lenovo’s Legion ColdFront design, which in this generation uses an optimized air‑cooling path rated for up to ~180 W and multiple ARGB fans to keep CPU and GPU temperatures under control while keeping acoustic levels reasonable.
Design, connectivity, and Game Pass
The Legion chassis combines a compact tower footprint with a transparent, tool‑less side panel, making internal components and RGB lighting visible while simplifying future upgrades. Modern connectivity—including Wi‑Fi 6E or better, 2.5G Ethernet, USB‑C, and multiple USB‑A ports—supports fast online play, streaming, and external storage with minimal fuss. Bundled with three months of PC Game Pass, the Tower 5i lets you immediately access a rotating catalog of recent and classic titles, turning this configuration into a turnkey solution for anyone wanting a powerful, AI‑optimized gaming and creation PC with minimal setup
