Lenovo is set to launch its new AI computer, the P7, with pre-orders beginning on October 24, coinciding with China's Programmer's Day. The unveiling will take place at 2:30 PM during the Lenovo AI Host P7 Super Power Sharing Event in Changsha, Hunan province. This compact system is designed for local deployment of large language models and is capable of executing complex AI tasks autonomously.
The Lenovo P7 features a combination of the P1 System on Chip (SoC) and the M50 dNPU neural processor from Chipcore Technology. This powerful duo delivers an impressive performance of up to 190 TOPS for local AI computations. The P7 supports large language models with 122 billion parameters, a context window of up to 128,000 tokens, and a local generation speed of up to 50 tokens per second. Notably, the computer weighs just 300 grams, consumes a maximum of 30 watts, and operates at a noise level not exceeding 35 dBA.
Equipped with the P1 chip, the P7 can support up to 64 GB of LPDDR5 RAM running at 6400 MT/s. It provides 4K output at 120 frames per second and can connect up to ten external displays. The device includes four USB-C ports, PCIe 4.0, an AI acceleration card slot, and two GMAC network interfaces.
A standout feature of the P7 is its support for the Tianxi Claw architecture, which allows the AI to independently and accurately perform complex sequences of actions. The system also incorporates an updated personal knowledge base for storing and utilizing user information, along with four levels of security to ensure the safety of autonomous operations.
The software platform is based on Lenovo's Tianxing architecture for AI computing, which has been developed in collaboration with leading laboratories. The company claims that the use of 4-bit quantization brings the accuracy close to that of 16-bit models while significantly increasing inference speed by two to five times without changing the number of parameters.
Details regarding the pricing and specific configurations of the Lenovo P7 have not yet been disclosed, but pre-orders will commence on October 24. This innovative product could disrupt the market dynamics for existing giants like Nvidia, AMD, and Intel by offering a powerful, compact solution tailored for AI applications.
