Professional Workstation
The HP Z8 G4 is a dual-processor workstation built for design, content creation, rendering, engineering and data-heavy applications. It runs two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs at 2.10GHz, delivering 48 cores across 18 cores per processor. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 memory and a 1TB plus 4TB NVMe storage configuration. An NVIDIA RTX 4000 graphics card handles professional visual workloads and multi-display setups. Windows 11 Pro comes preinstalled for immediate deployment.
Installation and Service
The tower chassis provides four 3.5-inch expansion bays for additional internal storage. Memory capacity can scale up to 1536GB when larger projects demand more RAM. Front-panel LEDs show power, Ethernet and USB activity at a glance. The unit weighs 55 units, so plan for two-person handling or a mechanical lift when positioning it in a rack or on a desk. Ensure the intended location can support the mass and allows adequate airflow around the enclosure.
Target Users and Limits
This workstation suits professionals who need high core counts, large memory headroom and certified GPU drivers for CAD, simulation or video pipelines. Buyers who require more than two physical processors or memory beyond 1536GB should evaluate alternative platforms. Teams needing a lighter, quieter system for general office tasks may prefer a smaller form factor. Environments with strict power or space budgets should verify facility limits before purchase.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the 48 Xeon cores are active after Windows 11 boots?
Open Task Manager and confirm 48 logical processors are shown under the Performance tab; the dual Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs should each display 18 cores at 2.10GHz.
What ships inside the chassis and what must I add myself?
The workstation arrives with two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, 256GB DDR4, 1TB and 4TB NVMe drives, RTX 4000 graphics and Windows 11 Pro pre-installed; the four 3.5" bays are free for extra storage you supply.
Which memory capacity matches the 1536GB ceiling without wasting slots?
The board supports up to 1536GB DDR4; the installed 256GB leaves room for expansion, so add matching DDR4 modules in multiples of the slot count to reach your target.
