Compact AI workstation

The HP Z2 Mini G1i packs an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor with 13 TOPS NPU and NVIDIA 16 GB GDDR6 graphics into a mini PC chassis. It targets professionals running AI-accelerated workloads, 3D rendering, or complex simulations who need workstation-class compute in a minimal footprint. The 32 GB DDR5 memory and 1 TB PCI Express 4.0 SSD support large datasets and fast asset loading.

Build integration

The 280 W internal power supply removes the need for an external brick, simplifying cable routing in tight spaces. Six USB ports including two USB Type-C 20Gbps connections and two DisplayPort outputs handle peripherals and multi-monitor setups without docks. Integrated Ethernet, Wireless LAN and Bluetooth provide flexible network options. The Intel W880 chipset motherboard supports the installed CPU configuration.

Sustained load behaviour

A 36 MB L3 cache and 2.50 GHz base frequency help maintain throughput during extended compute tasks. The dedicated 16 GB GDDR6 frame buffer keeps GPU memory pressure low for prolonged rendering or inference sessions. Windows 11 Pro manages background processes to preserve resources for primary workloads. The compact thermal solution is engineered for continuous operation within the mini PC form factor.

Questions about this item

At what point does the 280 W power supply limit sustained performance?

The 280 W power supply caps total system draw, so prolonged heavy CPU and GPU loads will hit this ceiling first.

How loud or hot does the mini chassis get during all-day workloads?

The compact 280 W design relies on internal airflow; expect noticeable fan noise and warm exhaust under continuous AI or render tasks.

Which display cables or adapters must I already own to use the two DisplayPort outputs?

You need DisplayPort cables or DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapters for each monitor, as only two DisplayPort ports are provided.
