In the 2023 China Computer Federation's "Technology Public Welfare Case Collection", three Lenovo technology public welfare cases are included, showing Lenovo's work in technology public welfare in an all-round way.
(1) Green technology, leveraging green upgrading Independent research and development of warm water cooling technology
Self-developed warm water cooling technology to achieve efficient computing power and green operation
The world's first Lenovo Poseidon warm water full water cooling technology, adhering to the way of warm water cooling, with powerful computing power + efficient heat dissipation + waste heat recovery "Poseidon Trident", supports multiple types of GPUs, heat dissipation efficiency up to 98%, can support data center PUE to reduce the minimum to less than 1.1, and achieve more than 42% annual electricity cost savings and emission reduction. The application of this technology has greatly improved the performance and efficiency of computing equipment, opened up a new field of computing, and taken a solid step towards the realization of global carbon neutrality.
Diversified applications empower green and intelligent computing infrastructure
Based on warm water cooling technology and technology accumulation in multiple fields, Lenovo has innovatively developed a new generation of green intelligent computing infrastructure to achieve a perfect balance between cost and benefit.
Innovate the service model and lay out the "Eastern Data and Western Computing" project. Lenovo innovates its service model through TruScale, which not only has the advantages of the public cloud, but also saves customers millions to hundreds of millions of initial fixed asset investments. At the same time, it can be flexibly customized according to needs and can ensure the local security of data. In 2021, Lenovo reached a strategic cooperation with Parallel Technology to land the first TruScale service project in Zhongwei City, Ningxia. At present, Lenovo has preliminarily completed the layout of green data center resources in western regions such as Ningxia, Gansu, and Inner Mongolia.
Provide high-performance computing to help the progress of scientific research in colleges and universities. In April 2021, Yang Yuanqing, Chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, donated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University to build a first-class green water-cooled high-performance computing center in colleges and universities in China, and the high-performance computing equipment was named "Siyuan No. 1". "Siyuan-1" can perform 6quadrillon operations per second, surpassing Harvard, Cambridge and other international famous universities in computing power, ranking first among Chinese universities.
(2) Green factories to build a green tomorrow
Lenovo Group has always implemented the concept of green manufacturing, and has achieved national green factories in its production bases in Hefei, Wuhan, Chengdu and Huiyang, and is actively moving towards the "zero carbon" road of benchmark smart factories.
Lianbao Technology is Lenovo's largest PC R&D and manufacturing base in the world, and was selected as a global "lighthouse factory", opening Lenovo's global lighthouse layout. In recent years, Lianbao Technology has continued to promote carbon reduction at the factory end through the construction of energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing technologies such as intelligent production scheduling (LAPS), the implementation of energy-saving and carbon-reduction projects, and the optimization of energy structure.
Lenovo Group's Wuhan Industrial Base is Lenovo's largest and most advanced R&D and production base for smartphones and tablets in the world. In 2022, Lenovo Group's Wuhan Industrial Base was awarded the first zero-carbon factory certificate in the ICT industry, becoming the first and only zero-carbon factory in China's ICT industry to be evaluated by a third party.
In September 2022, the Lenovo (Tianjin) Smart Innovation Service Industrial Park, the first "zero-carbon factory" built from scratch in the ICT industry and representing the highest level of intelligent manufacturing of Lenovo Group, was officially put into operation. With the core positioning of "green and zero-carbon, digital intelligence leading, and lighthouse factory", the industrial park will create a scientific and replicable "zero-carbon intelligent manufacturing" solution for the industry. Lenovo Group participated in the drafting and formulation of the first zero-carbon factory standard for the ICT industry in China, the "General Specification for Zero-carbon Factory Evaluation" group standard, and completed the pilot verification in Tianjin.
In terms of low-carbon transformation, Lenovo Group first leveraged its leading ESG advantages and took the lead in realizing its comprehensive green and low-carbon transformation. At the same time, we will cultivate, drive and lead the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to jointly achieve low-carbon and digital transformation; Combined with the company's 3S strategic transformation, it has always been committed to building an ESG ecosystem, actively empowering the outside world, and helping the low-carbon transformation of thousands of industries.
(3) Led by AI technology, Lenovo Smart Education empowers the digitalization of rural education
