Review: Lenovo ThinkStation P620

Conclusion

Lenovo was the first of the big workstation names to put its weight behind the Ryzen Threadripper Pro CPUs. The highly-configurable ThinkStation P620's potential is vast as it can mate a 64-core chip with massive amounts of memory and bandwidth, effectively rendering dual-socket CPU solutions obsolete.

And it's on the CPU front that the review system does well. A 32-core, 64-thread Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3975WX makes short work of certain benchmarks, while 128GB of octo-channel memory is a great home to large datasets.

Presented in a slimline chassis belying its power, we'd make a few specification changes for a better balanced system. The GPU could do with an upgrade to an Nvidia RTX workstation card, storage really ought to be a spacious PCIe 4.0 drive, and the fans could be tuned to run more quietly at full load.

The Lenovo ThinkStation P620 has the capability to be a wonderfully powerful and versatile system in a restrained form factor. A careful consideration of key components can take this system from good to great.
