Lenovo Launches Next-Generation ThinkStation Workstations

Lenovo announced the launch of the ThinkStation PX, P7, and P5 advanced desktop workstations that use the latest Intel processors, supporting up to 120 cores and NVIDIA RTX professional graphics.

Lenovo announced the launch of the ThinkStation PX, P7, and P5 advanced desktop workstations that use the latest Intel processors, supporting up to 120 cores and NVIDIA RTX professional graphics.

Lenovo designed the new ThinkStation chassis in cooperation with Intel, NVIDIA, and customer Aston Martin, a luxury car maker. Aston Martin’s influence is seen in the sleek, new 3D grill design. Performance is Lenovo’s focus with these new models, redesigned air baffles and larger 3D hex ventilation openings, along with Lenovo’s tri-channel cooling system, allowing unobstructed airflow to ensure maximum cold air intake and hot air exhaust.

All the workstations have a modular design with front-accessible drives and a toolless chassis design that allows flexibility and enhanced ergonomics.
