The ThinkStation P720 Tower Workstation from Lenovo is a powerful performer for professionals with intensive data processing needs and offers fast processing, massive storage options, and parallel-processing capabilities. Its design includes Flex Trays that hold up to two drives, as well as Tri-Channel Cooling for enhanced reliability. The system is powered by dual 2.1 GHz Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors armed with eight cores on each CPU, for a total of sixteen cores. There is also 11MB of L3 cache per processor, for a total of 22MB. These processors, cores, and cache will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously and provide significant performance gains when running multi-threaded tasks. If you need more power, the CPU can deliver extra performance by increasing the clock speed up to 3.0 GHz utilizing Intel's Turbo Boost 2.0 technology..
The 16GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 ECC Registered RAM allows the computer to run multiple applications simultaneously and also to quickly access frequently used files and programs. The current memory configuration is two 8GB modules with an additional six slots available for memory upgrades, making for a total of twelve 288-pin DIMM slots. As this RAM features ECC technology, it is able to help detect and correct the most common kinds of internal data corruption. This RAM is also registered and registered memory modules, also known as buffered memory modules, place less electrical loads on the memory controller and allow single systems to remain stable with more memory modules than they would have otherwise.
For storage of your files, a 512GB Opal PCIe M.2 SSD offers quick access to your data. If you want to add external storage drives or other peripherals, the ThinkStation P720 features eight USB 3.0 Type-A ports, one of which provides 11W of charging power, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, and two PS/2 ports. For users who wish to add additional components to the drive bays, there is one additional M.2 slot, two internal 3.5" drive bays that support 3.5" and 2.5" SATA/SAS drives, and two external 5.25" flex bays. While one of these is used by the DVD±RW drive, the other can support a second optical drive, a 3.5" or 2.5" SATA drive, a USB 3.0 card reader, an eSATA or Thunderbolt port, and more.
No integrated or dedicated graphics controllers are included with this system, allowing users to select a dedicated graphics card of their choice. NVS 310, 315, 510, and 810, as well as Quadro P400, P600, P1000, P2000, P4000, P5000, and P6000 graphics cards are supported. Whether you are listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a game, the integrated Realtek ALC662 audio controller outputs high definition audio and delivers higher fidelity than standard audio controllers.
Lenovo's ThinkStation P720 Tower Workstation is powered by a 900W Platinum power supply that is 92% efficient. Included is a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, and a power cord. The installed operating system is Windows 10 Professional (64-bit).
