We take a look at the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 Tiny. This 1L workstation has not just an Intel 8 core processor, but also a NVIDIA Quadro P620 dGPU installed in mini PC package. Between the GPU and the Intel Core i7-10700T we get additional performance but also a humorous feature in the power supply.

The P620 is basically a GT1030 IIRC it is slightly more powerful and feature rich. What i'm looking forward to is a 6800U/6800H based system as, with the right RAM, those should be equivelant to a GTX 1650. I'd also like to get my hands on the $399 Nvidia Orin NX 12 core ARM CPU, and 2048 combined FP32/INT cores. A similar core count to the RTX 3050

@vap0rtranz 6 месяцев назад

The best part is seeing "Quadro"! That brings back datacenter memories before all this AI hype with desktop GPU prices skyrocketing. (Also, you would have to get the M75q. I have it :) It's Ryzen 5 3400G w/ Vega11 that also uses 2GB VRAM. I say "uses" because it's an iGPU so technically shared system RAM. But for significantly less $$$, the AMD benches just a tad behind this setup.)

@dmytrokyrychuk7049 2 года назад

I wish it was possible to put an HBA in that port and have a separate box that can house a bunch of drives (I believe this is called a JBOD enclosure) of matching dimensions, so that you could stack them and use this little computer as a NAS or a home server.

Very cool stuff, wasn't aware that Lenovo had an option of this type! Have you ever messed with an HP Z mini? They're a good bit bigger than the 1L PCs, but they perform quite well and come equipped with low spec quadros as well. Seems very similar to this device, but with quite a bit more cooling. Uses a similar power brick, too, haha!

@stanb1455 2 года назад

The GPU appears to be a regular PCI-E card, so you could upgrade to an RX 6400 and get even more power! Also I think the CPU is socketed, but finding any 10900Ts would be impossible.

@ServeTheHomeVideo 2 года назад

It is PCIe, just a custom faceplate. The other challenge is ensuring a replacement is properly cooled

@stanb1455 2 года назад

Also, 12900T versions with undervolting would be great for a beowulf cluster. 64GB would be nice too.

Can the power brick for this Tiny also power the Tiny-in-One monitor? Normally you use the power brick that comes with the monitor as it is made to power both the monitor and the Tiny, that wouldn't work in this case.

I've worked on one of these in my shop, that GPU is not for gaming at all but is more meant for multiple displays. I had a customer who needed 7 outputs for his management software and this was the model we had to get for him. If you do want to game on this I would highly recommend swapping out the gpu with AMD's new sff RX 6400 which would really bring it up to modern games on medium settings.

@dmytrokyrychuk7049 2 года назад

A word of caution: not all low-profile cards are single-slot. My wife's EliteDesk 800 SFF has a low-profile GTX 1650, but it is still two-slot thick beacause of the big heat sink.

I am wondering if the 10th and 11th gen Intel Core T CPUs throttle down in these Lenovo units. I had a 6700T and 7500T Dell Optiplex 1L back in the day and with stock cooling, neither power throttled after a few seconds running full load.

@ServeTheHomeVideo 2 года назад

I think that is why the cooling is much more aggressive in these generations with top vents. Also the Core i9-10900T is not that much faster I think because of power/ thermal limits.

@fabioabe6418 2 года назад

sorry for the Off Topic question, I have 1 of this p340 tiny I buyed used with intel i5 10th gen and 32gb ram, I changed the 256gb m2 ssd with a datacenter class kingston 480gb m2 nvme, so I have another m2 slot free. I have no discrete gpu so maybe with a rizer bracket I can use the pci express slot. Now the question: someone has experience of adding inside the Lenovo p340 tiny a m2 Coral.ai card, passing it to the proxmox host and using it with a Frigate vm to save only real motion triggered videos to an external disk? for example saving to a nas (I don't have one but want to buy also for other reasons). ma Thank you for any reply, the problem now is to find the Coral cards and their price, also the usb are out of stock worldwide.

@hefnyx 2 года назад

I am seeing a lot of comments suggesting the use of the Rx 6400. The AMD card uses only 4 lanes instead of 16 of PCIe 4. This means that things can get rough on PCIe 3 with less bandwidth.

@AidGum 2 года назад

A 1650 would be better for this PC than the 6400 in this case. Plus you get video encoding.

@hefnyx 2 года назад

@@AidGum I wanted to say Radeon Pro W6400, as a workstation card, I don't know why I wrote RX 6400. But it also lacks the video encoding, so your point is valid. There is also a configuration option from Lenovo to add the NVIDIA T1000 8GB GDDR6 card for an extra 240USD!

@MatteoSaitta 2 года назад

You always make vPro availability more complex than reality :) vPro requires three things: 1. compatible CPU 2. compatible PCH 3. compatible bios chip/file. Most OEM use a 1.5Mb bios file which only include ME, vPro has a bigger space requirement (5Mb). This size difference usually materialize as a different logic board for standard and vPro machines.

@JashtonnFS 2 года назад

To be fair, vPro has never been something that intel has properly explained to the press, nor has it educated it’s industry engineers on it to any sort of reasonable extent. I can understand why it has been seen in a negative light overall. It has its advantages, but even after all of my learning and qualifications, I had to read through some stack overflow thread to understand it properly - and that was written by complete randoms in the field!

@ServeTheHomeVideo 2 года назад

It is less about the availability, and more that we have folks that buy systems that can support vPro, CPUs that can support vPro, but then fail at the final software enablement. Usually this is a corporate IT department that said no vPro so the system looks like it should but does not. That was a bit challenge early in TMM for our readers/ viewers so I like to call it out.

I can't keep track of Nvidia video GPU generation names any more than I can keep track of Mac OS version names. Could you give us a reference point as to what generation of GTX consumer card it's equivalent with? As in "this is the stablemate to the GTX 9xx generation".

@MisterTonyG 2 года назад

Some of these Quadro cards are hard to find information on. From what I found on this one, it's similar in power to a GT 1030/ GTX 750 Ti/ GTX 570. This is a rough estimate as there isn't a very close equivalent. I didn't include the 900 series because to my knowledge the GTX 950 is the lowest of that generation and the 950 is a step above.

Something like that in a mITX for reasonable consumer prices would be nice, but then still I prefer "real" hardware, the difference in pricing doesn't make up for a little saving on the energy consumption

I think the public should be made aware of the fact that Lenovo was convicted twice of selling systems with embedded fishing ware. The first time they were convicted they received a strong reprimand and was ordered to fix the "issue". The second time they received a very stiff fine. I would think twice before purchasing from a company that blatantly ignores policy and already has a reputation for dishonest dealing and shady tactics. Feel free to GOOGLE it.

Why is it Apple has managed to make mac-minis that run ever so quiet despite also having cooling-fans? I need a quiet pc but can't live with the intrusive sound of fans kicking in. A constant (very) quiet hum in the background is not too bad, but it's when extra load makes the fan kick in. It's like driving a heavy car up a mountain and realising its not gonna make it and having to shift down gears to make slow advance - that revving! So, what's a quiet pc alternative?

@MnemonicCarrier Год назад

Apple are miles ahead because they make their own silicon (CPUs) which are based on ARM. Take a look at the power used by the Apple M1 and M2 chips - it's around 5W. This is why they can make M1 MacBooks without fans.
