Lenovo on Tuesday launched upgraded variations of its ThinkStation P720 and ThinkStation P920 workstations. The new machines are based mostly on Intel’s second-generation Xeon Scalable processors codenamed Cascade Lake and add assist for NVIDIA’s newest Quadro RTX 8000 graphics card.
Lenovo’s new ThinkStation P720 and ThinkStation P920 workstations are based mostly on as much as two Intel Xeon Scalable processors that includes as much as 28 cores per socket and working at as much as 4.Four GHz. The CPUs are paired with as much as 384 GB or 2 TB of DDR4-2933 reminiscence (P720 or P920 respectively) in addition to a number of NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 or Quadro GV100 graphics playing cards. As for storage capabilities, we’re speaking about machines supporting a number of NVMe/PCIe SSDs (both in M.2 form-factor or on a particular PCIe 3.Zero x16 Quad M.2 adapter) in addition to as much as 60 TB of HDD capability.
The producer positions its new workstations for all kinds of workloads, however contemplating capabilities of Intel’s second-generation Xeon Scalable processors (VNNI directions) in addition to NVIDIA’s newest Quadro RTX 8000 graphics playing cards, Lenovo places a particular emphasis on AI-related workloads that profit from the brand new {hardware}. Obviously, the brand new CPU and GPU can even enhance efficiency in content material creation and different functions.
Lenovo says that due to its superior inner structure and airflow administration the ThinkStation P720/P920 machines working two CPUs and two or three GPUs will have the ability to work stably for extended intervals of time, one thing all customers anticipate from workstations.
The new ThinkStation P720 and ThinkStation P920 workstations shall be out there in May in numerous configurations, though curiously Optane variations will not be listed. We would possibly see Optane variants pop up in the end.
