Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 workstation

The HP Z8 G4 is a 48-core rackmount workstation built for professional design, engineering and data-heavy applications. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.10GHz deliver responsive performance for rendering and complex simulations. It ships with Windows 11 Pro preinstalled for immediate setup.

DDR4 memory ceiling at 1536 GB

The system uses DDR4 memory and currently holds 256 GB across its slots. Maximum supported capacity is 1536 GB, so large datasets or heavy multitasking will require additional modules. Four 3.5-inch expansion bays allow further storage upgrades if needed.

Quadro P2000 for professional visual work

The dedicated NVIDIA Quadro P2000 GPU drives CAD, content creation and multi-display workflows. A 1 TB SATA SSD provides quick access to applications and project files for everyday professional use. Buyers needing GPU compute beyond professional visual tasks should consider a different configuration.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single or dual Xeon Platinum 8160 configuration for this workstation?

This unit ships with two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors installed, giving 48 cores total at 2.10GHz. The board supports a maximum of two CPUs, so no further processor upgrade is possible.

What does the 256GB DDR4 memory mean for everyday rendering and simulation workloads?

256GB of DDR4 RAM lets you keep large assemblies, point-cloud data and multiple virtual machines resident at once, reducing swap delays during CAD rendering or engineering simulations.

How does the SATA SSD interface affect the 1TB drive's real-world throughput?

The 1TB SSD connects over SATA, so sequential reads and writes are limited to the SATA 6Gb/s bus rather than the higher speeds of PCIe-based storage.
