HP Announces Next Generation of Performance-Driven Z Workstations

HP has announced the company’s most powerful workstation to date, the HP Z8 G4, as well as other models from the newly refreshed Z line. Designed for professionals such as product designers, architects, digital creators, scientists and educators, the HP Z8, Z6 and Z4 G4 desktop workstations offer advanced security and an innovative design. They are also built to be future-proof so they can support the fast growing fields of virtual reality, machine learning and advanced design.

The new workstations can be equipped with Thunderbolt 3 ports while dual 1GbE ports come standard. Each system also has modular front IO with USB 3.1 G2 Type C ports while the Z8 and Z6 models support dual CPUs and dual 10 GbE network module for high speed networking.

Dubbed “the world’s most powerful workstation,” the new HP Z8 features an all new ID with ducting that routes fresh air to the second CPU rather than using the warm air expelled from the ducting on the first CPU. Additionally, it sports a split chassis architecture, which gives rear access to the massive 1700 W power supply, 24 DIMMs, and the 9 PCIe slots (7 full length, full height PCIe slots and two internal PCIe slots) for some pretty versatile customization. Compared to the Z840, HP indicates that the new Z8 Tower has 67 percent more memory bandwidth, 27 percent greater processor core count capacity, 40 percent greater PCIe I/O bandwidth and 29 percent greater power supply capability. The Z8 also supports the latest professional graphics, 384GB of system memory, and dual M.2 slots for HP Z Turbo Drive PCIe SSDs, so users in the visual effects and design visualization industry will have the power they need.

Also announced by HP are seven new HP Z displays to accompany the new workstations. Among the new displays is the HP Z38c, a 37.5-inch diagonal curved 4K monitor with a 2300 mm radius and a wide 21:9 aspect ratio. The Z38c features a native resolution of 3840×1600 with optimized pixel density so icons and text are the ideal sizes.

The other HP Z Displays range in sizes from 21.5-inch through 27-inch diagonal, all of which feature nearly borderless screens for the best imagery possible, as well as factory color calibration to ensure optimal color accuracy and flexible connectivity.
