Product Features
Technical Overview
At the heart of the ThinkStation P3 is the 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900 processor, featuring a tetracosa-core (24-core) design with 32 threads and Intel vPro technology for enhanced security and manageability. The processor operates on a base frequency of 2 GHz within the Socket LGA-1700 platform, supported by the Intel W680 chipset which provides robust I/O and storage capabilities.
Memory performance is driven by 32 GB of DDR5 SDRAM running at 4.40 GHz across four available slots, supporting future upgrades up to 128 GB. Storage is handled by a 1 TB PCI Express NVMe 4.0 x4 solid-state drive, offering exceptional read/write speeds for large datasets and applications. The system supports multiple RAID configurations (0, 1, 5, 10) via NVMe and SATA controllers for data redundancy or performance optimization.
