AMD released the new Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors and partnered with Lenovo for the world’s first 64-core professional workstation; ThinkStation P620. And it’s more than just a “Mac Pro killer”.
AMD released Threadripper processors in 2017 and they became quite popular with creators due to their high base counts and relatively affordable pricing strategy. The company introduced a new PRO line of the Threadripper with four new processors ranging from 12-core to 64-core models. However, unlike other Threadripper CPUs, the new PRO processors will be exclusive to Lenovo for a time. So, with performance-demanding creators and users in mind, Lenovo introduced the new ThinkStation P620 workstation that outperforms its rivals in specs.
Highlight
The ThinkStation P620 is the first workstation to provide the highest multi-core performance on a single CPU with PCIe Gen4 support. With 128 PCIe lanes in total, the workstation can be configured with multiple graphics cards and NVMe drives at high bandwidths without losing performance. On the graphics side, the P620 can be equipped with up to four Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000, or two RTX 8000 graphics cards.
Unlike other consumer-grade desktop PCs, the P620 supports 8-channel ECC (Error Correction Code) memory, and can upgrade to up to 2TB of RAM in total.
