ThinkStation P620 | Threadripper Workstation | Lenovo US

0 Deal Score

Lenovo are selling their "entry level" Threadripper Pro workstations with big discounts. The base machine is available for $1936, with an additional 5% off for students or teachers or anyone signing up for the business discount. This is about $1400 off the MSRP.

The 3945WX Threadripper is the lowest level of Threaderipper Pro, but it's a beast. It's performance in a lot gaming benchmarks sits between a 5600x and a 5900x. But it's the extensibility of these machines which is mind blowing. They can be upgraded to use 8 channels of memory and hold 2 TB of RAM. And if you really want to build an insane system leverage every extension, storage device and network add in card, the Threadripper Pros have 128 gen 4 PCIe lanes (that compares to just 20 PCIe lanes on a standard x570 motherboard).

$2K is a lot to drop on a new machine without a serious graphics card. And not top of line standalone CPU performance. But this is an insane machine to build from.

If you want to sweeten the deal, find a friend with an EPP code. This can be had for $1400ish.

For the average Joe, I guess buying a 3900x or a 5900x might be more cost efficient.

I work with enterprises as a professional services technicall consultant, and it's not rare to see my customers spending 3 times more on machines of this class. Getting this with a great EPP discount to some of technicians I work with will be a life changer, ability to spin up a number of Hyper-V guests for testing of some software or infrastructure or deployment is priceless, a must have at work if you are in this area. Thank you for this post.

How many PCIe gen 4 slots do these boards have, and how many can run simultaneously at gen 4 16x?

Also maybe worth noting that a new threadripper is due out later. This year. This may cause TR40 price drops.

I bought a P620 from Lenovo and I would never NEVER NEVER buy another machine from them again.

The computer was faulty and it took seven months of constantly calling them to get them to honor the 30-money back guarantee. After I finally received the RMA and returned the computer they didn't refund they money. I'm still trying to get the money back. I bought the computer last September.

The customer service is by far the worst I have ever experienced.

Don't buy! If you do, just cross your fingers you don't need to return the computer or for any reason need to call customer service.
