Professional CAD Workstation
The HP Z8 G4 delivers 48 cores across two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.10GHz, supported by 512GB of DDR4 memory. It targets engineers and designers who need sustained multi-threaded performance for rendering, simulation and large assembly workloads. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed for immediate deployment.
NVIDIA Quadro P2000 GPU
The dedicated Quadro P2000 graphics card drives professional visual applications including CAD, content creation and multi-display configurations. A 1TB NVMe drive provides fast access to project files and applications. Four 3.5-inch expansion bays allow additional storage to be added as projects grow.
Rackmount Installation Notes
The unit weighs 60 units and fits standard rackmount infrastructure with front-panel LEDs for power, Ethernet and USB status. Memory can scale to 1536GB across available slots, though the processor sockets are already fully populated. Buyers needing single-threaded frequency above 2.10GHz or GPU compute beyond the P2000 class should evaluate alternative configurations.

Questions about this item
Can I add more DDR4 memory later and how much room is there?
The workstation holds 512 GB now and the board supports up to 1536 GB total across its DIMM slots.
Which component hits its limit first when both Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs run flat-out for hours?
The 48 cores at 2.10 GHz will thermal-throttle before the 512 GB DDR4 or 1 TB NVMe become bottlenecks.
How loud and hot does the rackmount chassis get during all-day rendering on the Quadro P2000?
Fans spin up under sustained GPU and dual-CPU load; expect noticeable airflow noise and warm exhaust from the rear vents.
