Lenovo ThinkStation P3 G2 Tiny workstation Core Ultra 7 265 32 GB/1 TB RTX A1000

The NVIDIA RTX A1000 is a professional RTX-series graphics card with 8 GB of graphics memory. More graphics memory lets the card hold complex 3D models, larger textures and more layers without constantly pulling data from system memory. Professional cards come with drivers focused on stability in CAD, BIM and visualisation software, and the RTX architecture includes dedicated units for ray tracing and AI calculations.

The 32 GB of DDR5 memory at 5600 MHz is installed as two SODIMM modules (2 × 16 GB). Two modules run in dual-channel mode, which raises memory bandwidth compared with a single module. The memory is not soldered, so the modules can be replaced. The 1 TB SSD holds the system, applications and bulky project folders and loads large files quickly.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 is a 20-core processor with boost up to 5.3 GHz. The version without the K suffix is designed for lower-power enclosures, which is why it fits a case measuring 179 × 182.9 × 37 mm. While the graphics card draws the 3D viewport, the cores handle simulations, compiling, data processing and CPU-based rendering.

The front has a 20 Gbit/s USB-C port, two 10 Gbit/s USB-A ports, one of them Always On so it charges a phone while the PC is off, and a headset combo jack. The rear has one 5 Gbit/s USB-A and three 10 Gbit/s USB-A ports, one with Smart Power On support, plus HDMI 2.1 (TMDS), DisplayPort 1.4 and GbE RJ-45. Wireless is Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.

3D designers, architects and mechanical engineers who work with larger models and need 8 GB of graphics memory; visualisation specialists and product developers who gain room for projects from 32 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD; and studios where the workstation has to be powerful yet unobtrusive on the desk and easy to move.
