Today, Lenovo has launched its first ever workstations branded under a new name - ThinkStation. Lenovo executives unveiled the single-socket ThinkStation S10 and the dual-socket ThinkStation D10, which will be ready for the market in January.
According to the company the ThinkStations will be equipped with Intel's 45nm Penryn processors which are scheduled to launch on November 12. Besides, the computers will support a wide range of dual- and quad-core Penryn models, including Core 2 Duo, Xeon and Core 2 Extreme processors. The top models will come with the powerful dual-core Xeon E5200 processors that have clock speeds up to 3.33GHz.
The ThinkStations were designed to be very powerful. For example, the S10 will use Intel's X38 Express chip set and offers up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM. On the other hand, the dual-socket ThinkStation DC10 supports Intel's 5400A chip set and up to 64GB of DDR2 RAM. Their users have to choose either a 750GB SATA hard disk drive or a 300GB SAS (serial-attached SCSI) drive. For graphical needs, Lenovo offers the powerful Nvidia Quadro FX4600. Both workstations have second-generation PCI Express x16 slots and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports.
The starting price for the S10 model is $1,199 and for the DC10 is $1,739.
