48-Core Xeon Workstation for Demanding

This HP Z8 G4 workstation pairs two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.10GHz to deliver 48 total cores. The platform targets engineers, designers and data scientists who need sustained multi-threaded throughput for rendering, simulation and large-model analysis. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed for immediate deployment in professional environments.

Dual-Processor Architecture with High Memory Ceiling

The chassis supports a maximum of two processors, both sockets already populated, and offers 1536GB maximum DDR4 capacity with 768GB installed across available slots. Four 3.5-inch expansion bays provide room for additional local storage arrays without requiring external enclosures. An NVIDIA Quadro P4000 dedicated GPU drives professional visual workloads and multi-display configurations.

Sustained Load Behaviour for Continuous Production

The dual Xeon configuration distributes long-running compute jobs across all 48 cores, maintaining clock stability during extended render or simulation runs. The 512GB NVMe boot drive keeps operating-system and active-project latency low while the large DDR4 pool reduces swap pressure under heavy multitasking. This system is not suited for buyers who need more than two physical CPUs or who require GPU compute beyond the Quadro P4000 class.

Questions about this item

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon 8160 processors run at 2.10GHz all day?

The workstation has two Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs installed and supports a maximum of two processors, so sustained load is constrained by the dual-socket thermal design.

How much power and heat does the system produce under continuous load?

With 48 total cores across two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, 768GB DDR4 memory and a Quadro P4000 GPU, the platform draws significant power and generates substantial heat during extended rendering or compute tasks.

What memory type must already be in place to reach the 1536GB maximum?

The system uses DDR4 memory; the 768GB installed today fills half the 1536GB maximum capacity supported by the dual Xeon 8160 configuration.
