PCSP P920 Workstation/Server 2x Intel Gold 5118 - Dual CPU Power

Our review of the PCSP P920 Workstation finds a heavyweight dual-CPU system aimed at professionals who need sustained multi-threaded performance. With two Intel Gold 5118 processors delivering 24 cores and 48 threads total, this renewed P920 is best for engineers, researchers, and content creators who will add their own storage and OS. The single biggest reason to buy is raw CPU density for parallel workloads: the dual Gold 5118s make the machine well suited to rendering, simulation, and compute-heavy server tasks while the Quadro NVS 510 provides basic multi-display support.

Key Features

• Dual Intel Gold 5118: Two 12-core 2.3GHz CPUs provide 24 cores and 48 threads for heavy multi-threaded tasks and background services.
• Flexible memory options: Choose between 32GB up to 1TB DDR4 so the system can scale from workstation tasks to large in-memory datasets.
• Custom storage support: Two 3.5in drive bays plus two NVMe PCIe M.2 slots let users tailor storage for high capacity or fast NVMe performance.
• Quadro NVS 510 graphics: The included 2GB NVS 510 offers stable multi-display output for CAD viewports and monitoring, with four DisplayPort outputs and adapters included.
• High-efficiency power supply: A 1400W 80PLUS Platinum power supply supports multiple drives, add-in cards and upgraded components with good efficiency under load.
• Front and rear I/O: Multiple USB 3.1 ports and dual 1Gb Ethernet on the rear provide connectivity for peripherals and networked workloads.

Who It's For

The P920 is built for professionals who need sustained CPU throughput rather than a consumer gaming card: architects, product designers, simulation engineers, researchers running parallel jobs, and financial traders running many instances will benefit most from the dual Intel Gold 5118 setup. It is also useful as a compact server for small teams that need a powerful on-site compute node.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who want a fully configured turnkey desktop with storage and an operating system preinstalled, casual gamers seeking a modern high-end GPU, or buyers who need single-thread peak clock speeds above 3GHz for single-core-limited applications.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Exceptional multi-core processing capacity for rendering and compute tasks thanks to dual 12-core CPUs.
• Wide memory scalability up to very large DDR4 capacities for large datasets or VM hosts.
• Flexible storage expandability with both 3.5in bays and NVMe M.2 slots for fast and high-capacity setups.
• Robust 1400W 80PLUS Platinum power supply that supports upgrades and multiple drives reliably.

Cons

• Ships without drives or an operating system, so buyers must add storage and install software before use.
• Quadro NVS 510 is oriented to multi-display support and stability rather than modern 3D performance for high-end GPU workloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this system include drives or an operating system?
The unit ships without HDD/SSD or an operating system so buyers must add storage and install their chosen OS.

Can the memory be upgraded later?
Yes, the motherboard supports large DDR4 capacities and you can select or upgrade up to the supported maximum at purchase or afterward.

Is the NVS 510 suitable for modern 3D rendering?
The NVS 510 is designed for stable multi-display output and CAD viewports; it is not a high-performance GPU for GPU-accelerated rendering compared with modern workstation GPUs.
