Dual Xeon Platinum 8168 workstation

The HP Z8 G4 is a professional workstation built for design, engineering, rendering and data-heavy applications. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 processors run at 2.70GHz with 20 cores each, giving 48 cores for parallel compute tasks. 256GB of DDR4 memory and a 512GB NVMe drive support large project files and fast application loading. An NVIDIA Quadro P5000 graphics card handles professional visual work and multi-display setups.

Suited for CAD and simulation.

This workstation suits engineers, designers and analysts who need certified drivers and CPU-heavy throughput for CAD, simulation and content creation. The Quadro P5000 provides professional OpenGL stability for modelling and rendering workflows. Buyers who need modern GPU compute APIs, larger VRAM for deep learning or a smaller chassis for standard office desks should look at something else.

48-core Xeon Platinum 8168 configuration

The defining specification is the dual-socket Xeon Platinum 8168 layout delivering 48 cores at 2.70GHz. This core count and clock speed determine how the system scales across multi-threaded engineering solvers and batch rendering jobs. Memory can expand to 1536GB DDR4 across available slots, and four 3.5-inch bays allow additional local storage. The 55kg weight reflects the full-tower chassis and dual-processor thermal design.
