Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 Workstation

This HP Z8 G4 workstation pairs two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each with 18 cores running at 2.10GHz, for a total of 48 cores. It is built for professionals running design, engineering, rendering and data-heavy applications that scale across many threads. Windows 11 Pro comes preinstalled for immediate deployment.

DDR4 Memory and Storage Limits

The system ships with 256GB of DDR4 memory and supports a maximum of 1536GB across its slots, so large datasets can stay in RAM. Storage starts with a 512GB NVMe drive, while four 3.5-inch expansion bays provide room for additional high-capacity drives when projects outgrow the boot volume.

Quadro P2000 Graphics Constraint

The NVIDIA Quadro P2000 GPU is certified for CAD, content creation and multi-display workflows, but it is not intended for heavy GPU compute or real-time ray-tracing workloads. Buyers who need more graphics memory or faster double-precision performance should look at higher-tier professional cards.

Questions about this item

Is the installed 256GB DDR4 enough, or should I plan to add modules up to the 1536GB maximum?

The system ships with 256GB DDR4 and supports up to 1536GB, so you can start working immediately and expand later if projects grow larger.

What does the 2.10GHz clock on the dual Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver in a real workload?

Two Platinum 8160 CPUs give 48 cores at 2.10GHz, providing high sustained multi-threaded throughput for rendering, simulation and large dataset processing.

Is the 512GB drive a standard NVMe SSD, and does the platform cap its speed?

The 512GB NVMe M.2 drive runs at full PCIe NVMe speeds supported by the Z8 G4 platform, with no artificial bottleneck on read or write performance.
