Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 Workstation
The HP Z8 G4 arrives with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.10 GHz with 18 cores, giving 36 cores in total. It targets professionals who run multi-threaded engineering simulations, large-scale rendering or data-heavy analysis that benefit from high core counts and 256 GB of DDR4 memory. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed for immediate deployment.
Upgrade From Single-Socket Systems
Moving from a single-socket workstation to this dual-socket platform makes sense when workloads scale beyond the thread capacity of one CPU or when memory needs exceed typical single-processor limits. The 1536 GB maximum memory capacity provides headroom for future expansion, while four 3.5-inch bays allow additional local storage without external enclosures.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous multi-threaded load the dual Platinum 8160 configuration maintains consistent throughput for rendering, simulation and compilation tasks that run for hours. The NVIDIA Quadro M2000 with 4 GB GDDR5 delivers stable viewport performance for CAD and multi-display workflows, while the 2 TB NVMe drive keeps project assets fed to both CPUs without bottlenecks.

Questions about this item
How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the HP Z8 G4 have for storage expansion?
The workstation includes four 3.5-inch expansion bays, allowing you to add up to four additional hard drives or SSDs for extra capacity.
What is the correct order for populating the DDR4 memory slots on the dual Xeon Platinum 8160 system?
Each processor has six memory channels; fill the slots associated with CPU 1 first, then CPU 2, using identical 2666 MHz DDR4 modules per channel for best performance.
When should the NVIDIA Quadro M2000 graphics card be replaced for continued professional application support?
Plan to replace the Quadro M2000 when ISV-certified drivers for your CAD or rendering software are no longer released for the Kepler architecture, typically after 5–7 years.
