ThinkStation Family Expansion

Just in time for their World Tour, Lenovo today announced two new products within the ThinkStation portfolio.  The new ThinkStation P920 and ThinkStation P720 are both dual processor top-end desktop workstations. Lenovo designed these to “conquer the highest-performance workflows

“Intel worked closely with Lenovo to bring our newest Intel Xeon processor technology to the Thinkstation P series workstations, and deliver the performance, reliability and optimized acceleration that Lenovo’s clients need,” said Trish Damkroger, Vice President/GM, Data Center Group, Intel. “Our latest silicon technologies, combined with Lenovo’s innovations in the powerful new ThinkStation P920 and P720, offers a new level of performance for professional users across a broad range of industries.”

Faster is Always Better

Key Specs:

  • Intel’s newest Xeon processors with up to 3.6GHz and 28 cores per CPU
  • The latest NVIDIA Quadro GPUs (including the ThinkStation P920’s ability to support up to 3 x GP100 or P6000 cards)
  • Increased 6-channel memory
  • Full RAID support for NVMe drives (great for large CAD project files)

Based on SPECwpc 2.1 benchmarking, these systems show up to be 43% faster for users on a standard lifecycle.

With the new M.2 NVMe storage implementation the drives plug directly into the motherboard. The ThinkStation P720 offers a newly designed memory baffle for enhanced cooling for key components.

“At the Vanity, the main tool we rely upon for demanding projects is Autodesk’s Flame software,” said Naveen Srivastava, VFX Supervisor at the Vanity. “Flame is a very powerful tool which makes it one of the most resource-intensive solutions used in production today. We can’t wait to experience the enhanced performance of the new ThinkStation P920. We love the performance we’ve seen out of the über-powerful P910 and we can’t wait to take advantage of the additional power of the P920.”

Both systems will be available in late October.
