LENOVO ThinkStation P3 Tower (30GSS2PA00)

The Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tower is a powerful entry-level workstation designed to provide the performance capabilities required for professional workflows, traditionally found in more expensive systems, at a competitive, desktop-level price.¹ It is specifically built for designers, engineers, students, and other professionals who rely on demanding, ISV-certified applications.²

Targeted Performance for Professionals

• Processor: The ThinkStation P3 Tower can be configured with the latest high-performance processors, including up to 14th Generation Intel Core i9 or Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors with Intel vPro®.³ These advanced CPUs feature a high core count and, in the Core Ultra models, an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for accelerating AI-driven workloads.⁴

• Professional Graphics: It supports a wide range of dedicated professional graphics cards, including high-end options like the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation (with up to 32GB GDDR6 memory) or dual NVIDIA RTX A2000 cards.⁵ This ensures superior performance and stability for complex 3D modeling, CAD (Computer-Aided Design), rendering, and data analysis.

• Memory and Storage: For intensive multitasking, the system supports up to 128GB (or even 256GB in newer Gen 2 models) of fast DDR5 ECC or non-ECC UDIMM memory (up to 6400 MT/s). Storage is exceptionally flexible, supporting multiple drives, including ultrafast M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs (up to Gen 5 on some boards) and large capacity 3.5″ SATA HDDs, with extensive RAID options for data redundancy and performance optimization.⁶

Reliability and Expansion

• ISV Certification: A key feature is its Independent Software Vendor (ISV) certifications from major software makers (such as Dassault, Autodesk, and Bentley), guaranteeing application stability and optimal performance on the certified hardware.⁷

• Design and Durability: The tower chassis (typically 27L) is engineered for advanced thermal design, ensuring components remain cool and performance remains consistent under heavy load.⁸ The system is also MIL-SPEC tested for durability.⁹

• Connectivity: It offers extensive I/O options, including high-speed USB-C (up to 20Gbps / USB 3.2 Gen 2×2) ports, numerous USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, and multiple DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, allowing it to support up to 12 independent displays.¹⁰ Power supply options are high-efficiency, ranging up to 1100W (Platinum rated).¹¹
