Professional workstation for engineering and design
This HP Z8 G4 workstation is built for professional tasks such as CAD, content creation, rendering, engineering and data-heavy applications. Dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 48 cores at 2.10GHz for responsive performance on demanding workloads. The system includes 128GB DDR4 memory and a 1TB NVMe drive for quick access to large project files. An NVIDIA Quadro P2000 GPU supports professional visual work and multi-display setups with Windows 11 Pro preinstalled.
Suits studios needing high core counts
This configuration suits studios and engineers who need high core counts, certified professional graphics and large memory capacity for complex simulations or multi-application workflows. The four 3.5-inch expansion bays allow additional local storage for project archives. Buyers who need more than 1536GB maximum memory capacity or require newer GPU architectures for real-time ray tracing should evaluate alternative platforms. The 55kg weight also makes it unsuitable for portable or space-constrained deployments.
Sustained load handling
Under sustained load the dual 18-core processors maintain 2.10GHz across all 48 threads while ECC DDR4 memory protects data integrity during long renders or calculations. The Quadro P2000 provides stable driver performance for extended CAD sessions without thermal throttling typical of consumer cards. Windows 11 Pro manages background services to keep resources focused on professional applications. The chassis design supports continuous operation for batch processing and overnight simulation jobs.

Questions about this item
Does the motherboard support additional DDR4 modules beyond the installed 128GB?
Yes, the system supports up to 1536GB of DDR4 memory, so extra modules can be added to the available slots.
Can the NVIDIA Quadro P2000 drive legacy monitors that only have VGA or DVI inputs?
The card provides DisplayPort outputs; passive adapters for VGA or DVI will work, but active converters are needed for older single-link DVI displays.
How can I confirm both Xeon Platinum 8160 processors are active after first boot?
Open Task Manager, select the Performance tab, and verify 48 logical processors are shown across two sockets.
