Product Features
Technical Overview
At the heart of the ThinkCentre M90q Gen 5 is the Intel Q670 chipset paired with the Core i9-14900 processor, featuring tetracosa-core (24-core) architecture with 32 threads. This combination supports Intel vPro technology for enhanced security, remote management, and hardware-assisted threat detection. Memory utilizes DDR5 SDRAM technology at 5200 MHz speed through a single 32 GB module, providing a foundation for expansion up to the platform's maximum capacity.
Storage performance is maximized through the PCI Express NVMe 4.0 x4 interface, which delivers significantly higher throughput than SATA-based solutions. Graphics are handled by Intel UHD Graphics 770 with shared DDR5 memory, sufficient for HD video playback, photo editing, and office applications without requiring a discrete graphics card.
