Knldge,

I checked with the product manager for the P series and wanted to pass along the following information:

T he 1535 is available in the US, but it’s not showing on the US website for Lenovo.com. The product manager has sent a note to that team to get that CPU posted on the site so customers can build with it. Rather than wait a few days, feel free to call in and work directly with a Lenovo representative to spec out a 1535 system. In the US, you can reach Lenovo sales for ThinkPad Mobile Workstations at 1-855-253-6686.

8/11/16 EDIT: This model will not be listed for purchase on Lenovo.com. Please contact Lenovo sales directly and order by phone.

9/1/16 Edit: The P50 with Xeon 1535 processor is currently only available in EMEA regions.

A note about alternate Xeon processors which I wanted to make available for other customers considering the ThinkPad P50 Mobile Workstation:

Lenovo does not offer the 1545 or 1575 on P50. This is because both of these CPUs are paired with the Iris Pro graphics which requires a different thermal assembly than Lenovo designed for the ThinkPad P50.

While those CPUs are slightly faster (0.1GHz) than the CPUs paired with Iris graphics (P530), the trade-off to accommodate the bigger TDP didn’t make sense as the vast majority of Lenovo customers ask for discrete graphics and really don’t want/use the Intel integrated graphics in the first place.

I hope this information assists you with your purchasing decision.

Sincerely,
