Lenovo ThinkStation P2 Tower Gen 2 — AI-Ready Workstation
Core Ultra 7 265 (20-core) vPro32GB DDR5-5600512GB NVMe OpalWindows 11 Pro
The Lenovo ThinkStation P2 Tower Gen 2, part number 30JQ009DGE, is an AI-ready tower workstation built around a 20-coreIntel Core Ultra 7 265 processor with 32GB of DDR5 memory, a 512GB NVMe SSD and Windows 11 Pro — a strong CPU-focused machine for professionals who want high multi-core performance and plenty of room to expand.
The Core Ultra 7 265 is a Series 2 (Arrow Lake) chip with vPro — 20 cores (8 Performance + 12 Efficiency) reaching up to 5.3 GHz with 30MB of Smart Cache and a built-in NPU for on-device AI. It is paired with 32GB of DDR5-5600 in a single UDIMM (one of four slots used, expandable to 128GB) and a 512GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe Opal SSD. Graphics are handled by integrated Intel graphics, and the tower chassis leaves a free PCIe slot so you can add a dedicated NVIDIA RTX GPU later.
As part of Lenovo’s AI-ready line, the P2 Tower Gen 2 supports up to 128GB DDR5, PCIe Gen 5 storage and an 80 PLUS Platinum power supply, with Intel vPro for fleet management. Compared with the RTX A400 build that shares this Ultra 7 265 CPU, this configuration drops the discrete GPU for a lower price — ideal if your work is CPU-bound or you plan to add graphics yourself. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Graphics — good to know
This configuration uses integrated Intel graphics, not a dedicated GPU. It is ideal for CPU-heavy professional, office and development workloads. For GPU-accelerated 3D, rendering or AI, choose a P2 Tower build with an NVIDIA RTX card — or add a compatible GPU later, since the tower chassis and 80 PLUS Platinum power supply leave room to expand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ThinkStation P2 Tower Gen 2 (30JQ009DGE) include a dedicated graphics card?
No. This configuration uses integrated Intel graphics, making it ideal for CPU-heavy professional, office and development work. The tower has a free PCIe slot and an 80 PLUS Platinum power supply, so you can add a dedicated NVIDIA RTX GPU later.
Can I expand the memory and storage?
Yes. It ships with a single 32GB DDR5-5600 UDIMM (one of four slots), expandable up to 128GB, and a 512GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. The tower chassis supports additional drives and PCIe Gen 5 storage.
Is this workstation suitable for AI tasks?
It is part of Lenovo’s AI-ready line and includes the Core Ultra 7 265’s integrated NPU for light on-device AI. For heavier AI acceleration, add a dedicated NVIDIA RTX GPU or choose a P2 Tower build that already includes one.
How does this compare with the RTX A400 version of the same CPU?
Both use the 20-core Ultra 7 265. This build relies on integrated graphics for a lower price, while the RTX A400 build adds a certified professional 4GB GPU for CAD and multi-display work. Choose this one if your work is CPU-bound or you will add a GPU yourself.
Singular Expert Insight
This build makes sense when you want serious multi-core CPU performance and ThinkStation expandability, but your current work doesn’t need a discrete GPU. The 20-core Ultra 7 265 handles compiling, virtualization, data work and heavy multi-tasking comfortably, and the single 32GB DIMM plus free PCIe slot mean you can add memory (up to 128GB) and an NVIDIA RTX card later. If you already know you need GPU acceleration, the RTX A400 build of this same CPU adds certified graphics, and the RTX 5070 build adds far more raw GPU power. For a CPU-first, upgrade-ready workstation, this configuration is excellent value.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You want a strong CPU-focused, expandable ThinkStation tower with a 20-core Ultra 7 265 and 32GB DDR5 for multi-tasking, with vPro security and room to add a GPU and memory.
Skip it if
You need GPU acceleration for 3D, rendering or AI out of the box — choose a P2 Tower with an NVIDIA RTX A400 or RTX 5070 instead of integrated graphics.
Also consider
The RTX A400 P2 Tower (same CPU, adds certified graphics) or the RTX 5070 build for heavy GPU work; a P3 Tiny if a compact footprint matters more.
