At the mobile industry exhibition MWC 2025, Lenovo demonstrated the new generation ThinkSystem V4 servers, built on Intel Xeon 6500P and 6700P processors of the Granite Rapids-SP family. The devices can be equipped with the proprietary Neptune liquid cooling system.
In particular, the 1U model ThinkSystem SR630 V4 debuted. The machine allows installation of two Xeon 6500P/6700P processors with a TDP of up to 350 W (86C/172T). There are 32 slots for DDR5-8000 modules with a total capacity of up to 8 TB. Depending on the modification, the front part may have 10 bays for SAS/SATA/NVMe SFF drives, 16 E3.S 1T NVMe slots, or eight E3.S 2T NVMe slots. In the rear area, there are two bays for SAS/SATA/NVMe SFF devices. There are three PCIe 5.0 x16 slots (Full height, Low Profile, Low Profile/FHHL) and two OCP 3.0 x8/x16 slots. Power is provided by two 80 Plus Platinum/Titanium certified power supplies with a power output of up to 2000 W.
Also presented are the ThinkSystem SR650 V4 and ThinkSystem SR650a V4 2U servers, designed for installation of two processors. The first of these models has a storage subsystem with the following configuration: 16×LFF, 40×SFF or 32×E3.S. There are two internal M.2 slots, up to ten PCIe 5.0 slots (four Low Profile + six single-slot or two dual-slot full-height cards) and two OCP 3.0 x8/x16 connectors.
The second model can be equipped with eight SFF or E3.S drives. There are 14 PCIe 5.0 slots (eight single-slot or four full-height dual-slot slots in the front and six single-slot or two full-height dual-slot slots in the rear) and two OCP 3.0 x8/x16 slots. Both servers can carry up to 8 TB of DDR5-8000 memory in the form of 32 modules. Two 80 Plus Platinum/Titanium-certified power supplies with a power of up to 3200 W can be installed.
All servers support the deployment of the Neptune Core Compute Complex Module liquid cooling system. It removes heat from key components, including the CPU, memory modules, and voltage regulators.
Lenovo also showcased other enterprise-class solutions at MWC 2025, including the ThinkEdge SE455 V3 server optimized for edge environments, the ThinkSystem SR645 V3 on the AMD EPYC 9005 Turin hardware platform, and more.
