Lenovo ThinkStation P2 Tower Gen 2 — Flagship AI-Ready Workstation
GeForce RTX 5070 12GBCore Ultra 9 285K (24-core) vPro128GB DDR5 · 1TB NVMeWindows 11 Pro
The Lenovo ThinkStation P2 Tower Gen 2, part number 30JQ00A4GE, is the flagship AI-ready tower workstation in the range, pairing a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12GB graphics card, a maximum 128GB of DDR5 memory and a 1TB NVMe SSD — built for power users, 3D artists and AI developers who want top-tier CPU and GPU performance.
The Core Ultra 9 285K is Intel’s flagship unlocked Series 2 (Arrow Lake) chip with vPro — 24 cores (8 Performance + 16 Efficiency) reaching up to 5.7 GHz with 36MB of Smart Cache and a built-in NPU for on-device AI. It is matched with the platform’s full 128GB of DDR5-5600 (4× 32GB filling all four UDIMM slots) and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe Opal SSD. The GeForce RTX 5070 brings 12GB of next-generation GDDR7 memory and Blackwell-architecture RT and Tensor cores for fast GPU rendering, visualization and AI workloads.
As part of Lenovo’s AI-ready line, the P2 Tower Gen 2 supports PCIe Gen 5 storage and an 80 PLUS Platinum power supply in an expandable tower chassis with Intel vPro management. This is the most powerful P2 Tower configuration — stepping up from the Ultra 7 265K / 64GB build with the flagship CPU, maximum memory and double the storage. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
About the graphics card
This configuration uses an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 — a consumer (GeForce) Blackwell GPU with 12GB GDDR7, offering excellent raster, ray-tracing and AI performance for content creation and GPU rendering. It is not an ISV-certified professional RTX A-series / RTX Pro card; if your workflow strictly requires certified professional drivers, ask about RTX 2000 Ada or A-series configurations of the P2 Tower. Note: with all four memory slots filled (4× 32GB), the 128GB is the platform maximum.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the GeForce RTX 5070 in this workstation a professional or gaming GPU?
It is a consumer (GeForce) Blackwell GPU with 12GB GDDR7 — excellent for GPU rendering, 3D, video and AI work. It is not an ISV-certified professional RTX A-series / RTX Pro card. If you need certified professional drivers, ask about RTX 2000 Ada or A-series versions of the P2 Tower.
Can I add more memory to this configuration?
This build already ships with the platform maximum of 128GB DDR5-5600, using all four UDIMM slots (4× 32GB). Memory is therefore fully populated; storage can still be expanded thanks to the tower’s additional bays and PCIe Gen 5 support.
Is the ThinkStation P2 Tower Gen 2 suitable for AI workloads?
Yes. It combines the flagship Core Ultra 9 285K with an NPU, the RTX 5070’s Tensor cores and a full 128GB of memory, making it well suited to running and developing AI tools locally as part of Lenovo’s AI-ready line.
How does this flagship build compare with the other P2 Tower configurations?
This is the top build: a 24-core Ultra 9 285K, 128GB DDR5 and 1TB storage with GeForce RTX 5070 12GB. The Ultra 7 265K build has 64GB and 512GB with the same GPU, while entry builds use a professional RTX A400 or integrated graphics. Choose this one for maximum CPU and memory.
Singular Expert Insight
This flagship P2 Tower is built for users who push both CPU and GPU hard — large 3D scenes, GPU rendering, video and local AI — with the 24-core Ultra 9 285K, the full 128GB of DDR5 and a GeForce RTX 5070 12GB. The main consideration is the consumer GeForce GPU: outstanding performance per euro, but without ISV-certified professional drivers, so teams locked to certified CAD pipelines should look at an RTX 2000 Ada / A-series build instead. If you need certified graphics rather than raw power, the RTX A400 build is the certified entry point; for the strongest professional GPUs and most expansion, the larger ThinkStation P3 Tower steps up. For maximum mixed CPU/GPU performance in the P2 line, this is the configuration to choose.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You want the most powerful P2 Tower — 24-core Ultra 9 285K, full 128GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe and GeForce RTX 5070 12GB — for heavy GPU rendering, 3D, video and AI work.
Skip it if
Your workflow strictly requires ISV-certified professional drivers — choose an RTX 2000 Ada / A-series P2 Tower — or you need more than 128GB of memory.
Also consider
A ThinkStation P3 Tower for higher-tier professional GPUs and more expansion, or the RTX A400 P2 Tower build if you need certified graphics over raw power.
