Lenovo is introducing its  ThinkStation P620 as a new item to its portfolio of towering workstations.

The new device possesses the first and only professional workstation powered by AMD’s brand-new Ryzen Threadripper PRO processor, which brings together unprecedented levels of power, performance, and flexibility in a single socket CPU platform, and propel the global tech and innovation brand's new generation of workstation computing.

Today’s digital creation environment is packed with ever-scaling projects and increasingly complex workflows. From design and visualization to rendering and AI, enterprise users require a workstation that can not only keep pace but outperform what was previously possible.

Lenovo's new Thinkstation offering promises to provide users unparalleled power and performance, as well as the ability to configure to meet each customer’s unique needs in a way that wasn’t possible until now. By leveraging AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper PRO Processor, the leading tech and innovation company is delivering the world's first and only 64 core workstation platform – a new industry standard. Threadripper PRO processors also offer clock speeds up to 4.0GHz, 128 lanes of PCIe 4.0 bandwidth, and 8-channel memory support. In addition to speed and flexibility, Lenovo customers now have unmatched core counts for multi-threaded workloads in a single socket platform – rivaling competing dual-socket solutions.

Prior to launching, the usual max core count that a single-CPU system could handle was around 18 cores, while the highest a dual-processor system could support was 56. The ThinkStation P620 unlocks a new era of what can be accomplished with a single CPU workstation. Now users can achieve seamless 8K streaming in real-time, reduced render times, ultra-fast simulation solving, quick assembly rebuilds, and smooth interactivity with 3D assets all without having to scale to a dual-socket system.

Aside from being the world's pioneer to the next level of powerful workstations, Lenovo designed and built the ThinkStation P620 to be the most versatile workstation on the market, removing the bottlenecks to allow performance to scale and user productivity to soar. This includes support for up to two NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 or four RTX 4000 graphics cards, up to 1TB of memory and 20TB of storage. And when speed is king, this enterprise-grade powerhouse is the first and only PCIe Gen 4 workstation available today – offering twice the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0.

Built to harness these high-end components, the P620 takes care to support their reliability and stability. For example, the advanced design of the processor also brings increased thermal requirements. Leveraging a unique air-cooled solution, Lenovo and AMD collaborated to create a custom-designed heat sink.

“Our customers rely on us to deliver professional-grade solutions that are powerful, but nimble enough to be customized as their needs change and evolve,” said Rob Herman, General Manager, Workstation, and Client AI Business Unit, Lenovo. “One of the challenges for IT departments we’ve seen is the push to try new technologies before they’ve been vetted - lacking enterprise-grade features, certifications and security, and support. We’ve worked closely with AMD, ensuring the ThinkStation P620 removes all these barriers and gives users the support they need. Built on AMD’s versatile and extremely scalable Ryzen Threadripper PRO Processor there are no limits to what can be accomplished.”

The ThinkStation P620 is designed to work within some of the most demanding professionally managed IT environments and provides essential enterprise-grade features. Lenovo’s rigorous standards and testing, ThinkStation Diagnostics 2.0, ThinkShield support, upgrades to Premier Support, and a three-year warranty, deliver the peace of mind needed to work confidently and more securely. Adding to that is the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO desktop processors that can do advanced security features at the silicon level allowing users to better guard their important data, including AMD Secure Processor that validates code before it is executed to help ensure data and application integrity, as well as AMD Memory Guard which enables full memory encryption to help protect sensitive data against advanced physical attacks should a PC be lost or stolen.

“As the unique demands of today’s visual artists, architects, and engineers become more complex, AMD and Lenovo are teaming to bring the performance, flexibility, and reliability required to handle these workloads”,” said Jason Banta, corporate vice president and general manager, OEM client business unit, AMD. “Powered by the new AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors with industry-leading performance and unrivaled bandwidth, the ThinkStation P620 is ushering in the new standard for professional computing. By partnering with Lenovo, we have created a product that truly redefines workstations as we know them.”

Lenovo's ThinkStation P620 doesn't just suit power users across industries such as 3D artists and game developers whom can now create, edit, and build the media and entertainment experiences of the future. But also those working across architecture and engineering can now design, simulate and visualize products more efficiently. What's more? Even users working in artificial intelligence and virtual reality can now take advantage of the ThinkStation P620 as it redefines the segment and allows them to get even the most complex jobs done faster.

“There are multiple stages involved when it comes to building Unreal Engine, cooking content for our games, and powering applications in media and entertainment,” said Pat Swanson, IT engineer at Epic Games. “Previously, we always had to choose between either high core count or high clock speed. The Lenovo ThinkStation P620 powered by AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper PRO Processor is optimized for both aspects in a way that previous HEDT CPUs never quite were. It provides groundbreaking performance for everything from professional visualization and simulation to compiling and building for game development, whether the team is working from home or in the office.”

With ground-breaking performance and unprecedented professional graphics support, Lenovo is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Combining the power of AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper PRO processor with a fully customized and scalable chassis, the ThinkStation P620 has reimagined the traditional workstation, fine-tuned for multi-threaded applications.

The ThinkStation P620 will be available starting in September 2020. To learn more about the newest addition to Lenovo’s workstation product portfolio, visit www.lenovo.com/p620.
