Lenovo ThinkStation P520c Tower vs. Lenovo ThinkStation P340 Tower

The Lenovo ThinkStation P340 Tower is a newer system that was released in 2020, while the Lenovo ThinkStation P520c Tower was released years earlier in 2018. Both systems share the same full-tower form factor that can accommodate a large motherboard, multiple graphics cards, extra storage, and better cooling solution.

Processor

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is like the brains of your desktop computer. Its performance determines how fast and responsive your PC is. Generally, a processor with newer architecture, more CPU cores, higher TDP (measured in W), and faster clock speed (measured in GHz) tends to be more expensive and run faster than others with older architecture, fewer CPU cores, lower TDP, and lower clock speed.

For Lenovo ThinkStation P520c Tower, you have options to configure it with a 120W 6th Generation Intel Skylake quad-core Intel Xeon W-2102 up to a 155W 8-core Intel Xeon W-2245 with a boost speed up to 4.50 GHz.

While Lenovo ThinkStation P340 Tower has configurations with a 65W 10th Generation Intel Comet Lake quad-core Intel Core i3-10100 up to a 125W 10-core Intel Xeon W-1290P with a boost speed up to 5.30 GHz.

Memory

The Random Access Memory or RAM is the super-fast and temporary storage used to handle all active tasks, apps, and games that will go away when your PC turns off. The more memory your PC has, the better multitasking your PC can handle without having to reload data from slower permanent storage that includes the hard disk drive or solid-state drive.

Both PCs have the same amount of four RAM slots meaning that you upgrade later if you are unsatisfied with the amount of memory on your PC. You can upgrade memory on Lenovo ThinkStation P520c Tower up to 256GB of 2666MHz or 128GB of 2933MHz 4 channels DDR4 ECC memory. For Lenovo ThinkStation P340 Tower, it supports up to 128GB of 2933MHz dual-channel DDR4 memory.

Ports

Computer ports are the interface for connecting your PC to its peripheral devices or other PCs. The most common peripherals are keyboard, mouse, monitor, flash drive, speaker, and printer. Most of them use Universal Serial Bus (USB) as their connection to your computer. So the PC with more USB ports can connect to more peripherals at the same time.

There is a total number of 8 USB ports available on the Lenovo ThinkStation P520c Tower, one less than the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 Tower that has 9 USB ports. On top of the number of USB ports, the type and version of each USB port are also necessary for determining how fast it is.

The Lenovo ThinkStation P520c Tower has eight USB ports USB ports that all of them are Type-A port. It has two ports that support USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and six ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps).

For Lenovo ThinkStation P340 Tower, it has eight USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-C port. The PC has two ports that support USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), five ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), and two ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps).
