HP Z8 G4 workstation 2x Xeon Gold 6136 3.00GHz 64GB DDR4 512GB SSD Quadro P2000 5GB GDDR5 Windows 11 Pro

Dual 18-core Xeon Gold 6136 workstation

The HP Z8 G4 pairs two 3.00 GHz Intel Xeon Gold 6136 processors for 36 cores and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets engineers, designers and data analysts who need sustained multi-threaded throughput for CAD, rendering and simulation workloads. A 512 GB SSD and NVIDIA Quadro P2000 with 5 GB GDDR5 handle project files and professional visual tasks. Windows 11 Pro is installed and ready for immediate deployment.

Thermal headroom for continuous compute

Dual-socket architecture and the Z8 chassis distribute heat across both CPUs so clock speeds hold steady during long renders or batch simulations. The 64 GB DDR4 pool feeds all 36 cores without paging, keeping large assemblies and datasets in memory. Quadro P2000 drivers are certified for major ISV applications, so viewport performance remains stable across extended sessions. Four 3.5-inch bays allow additional local storage without external enclosures.

Steps up from single-socket or entry Quadro rigs

Builders moving from a single-CPU workstation gain a second 18-core Xeon and double the memory ceiling to 1536 GB. The P2000 replaces consumer GPUs that lack certified drivers and 10-bit colour pipelines for professional pipelines. Shops that already saturate one CPU or hit VRAM limits on smaller Quadro cards see the clearest benefit. Teams needing GPU compute clusters or more than four internal drives should look elsewhere.
