Lenovo has launched a new range of high-performance workstations, the ThinkStation PX, P7, and P5, designed to meet the extreme demands of industries such as virtual reality, machine learning, data science, computer-aided engineering (CAE), and AI. These workstations feature the latest processor technology from Intel, with up to 120 CPU cores and support for high-end NVIDIA RTX professional GPUs. They also boast all-new groundbreaking chassis designs and advanced thermals, as well as BMC capabilities for streamlined remote system monitoring.
“These new desktop workstations have been meticulously designed with a customer-centric lens in order to meet desired business outcomes and deliver innovative new solutions that our customers can enjoy well into the future as workloads increase in complexity,” said Rob Herman, vice president of Lenovo’s Workstation and Client AI Business Unit.
To bring this trio of workstations to life, Lenovo partnered with Aston Martin, a renowned high-performance automotive manufacturer, to co-design the new ThinkStation chassis. The teams conceived a new tool-less chassis design that allows extreme flexibility and enhanced ergonomics. The chassis’ 3D grill is directly inspired by Aston Martin’s iconic DBS grand tourer, applying design insights from the high-performance automotive segment to a desktop workstation. Redesigned air baffles and larger 3D hex ventilation openings, along with Lenovo’s patented tri-channel cooling system, allow for unobstructed airflow, ensuring maximum cold air intake and hot air exhaust, and thus maximising the performance of CPUs, GPUs, memory, and storage.
The Lenovo ThinkStation PX is the highest-end, flagship workstation product offering, offering the flexibility needed for both desktop and data centre environments, enabling a seamless transition between the two. It is powered by the latest 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, which offer up to 120 CPU cores and boasts a 53% average performance gain over the prior generation. The ThinkStation PX also offers support for up to four dual-slot NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation GPUs.
The ThinkStation P7 features a breakthrough new compute architecture with the latest Intel Xeon W processors, supporting up to 56 cores in a single socket, for reimagined power needed to tackle compute-intensive, multithreaded tasks head-on. It is rack-optimised for use in a variety of desktop and data centre environments in a 4U enclosure. The ThinkStation P7 is also ideal for content creators, architects, designers, engineers, and data scientists who require unprecedented graphics, visualisation, real-time rendering, CAE, and AI performance.
The Lenovo ThinkStation P5 is future-proofed for versatility, reliability, and scalability. It features a redesigned motherboard that can accommodate both current and future Intel Xeon processors, up to 48 DIMM slots for up to 6TB of DDR5 memory, and support for up to four dual-slot NVIDIA RTX 8000 or 16 single-slot NVIDIA A6000 GPUs. It is also equipped with Lenovo’s patented Tri-Channel Cooling technology and BMC capabilities.
“NVIDIA offers the world’s most powerful visual computing GPUs for desktop workstations,” said Bob Pette, vice president of Professional Visualization at NVIDIA. “These are featured in all three of Lenovo’s new ThinkStation desktop systems, equipping data scientists, engineers and creative professionals with the high-performance technology they need to work with massive datasets, innovate faster, and elevate their AI and compute-intensive workflows of tomorrow.”
