Dual Xeon 48-core workstation
The HP Z8 G4 is a new workstation built around two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.10GHz each. Twenty cores per CPU give 48 logical threads for parallel workloads. It ships with Windows 11 Pro installed and 256GB of DDR4 memory. The NVIDIA Quadro P5000 GPU handles professional visual tasks.
Build integration
Four 3.5-inch drive bays are available for additional storage expansion. The system weighs 55 units and uses front-panel LEDs for power, Ethernet and USB status. A 512GB NVMe M.2 drive provides the boot volume. The platform supports up to two processors and the memory slots can be populated up to 1536GB total capacity.
Capacity and headroom
The 256GB DDR4 configuration suits large datasets, simulation and multi-application workflows. The Quadro P5000 drives multi-display CAD and rendering pipelines. The single 512GB NVMe drive may fill quickly with active project libraries, so the four 3.5-inch bays are the path to more capacity. Memory headroom reaches 1536GB when all slots are filled.

Questions about this item
How many cores can the dual Xeon Platinum 8160 processors handle before thermal throttling limits sustained performance?
The two Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs provide 48 cores total at 2.10 GHz base speed; sustained all-core loads are managed by the Z8 G4 thermal solution designed for 20 cores per socket.
What noise and heat levels should I expect when the Quadro P5000 and both CPUs run continuously under full load?
The Z8 G4 chassis uses redundant fans and a large heatsink array to keep dual 20-core Xeons and the Quadro P5000 within thermal limits during extended render or simulation jobs.
Which memory modules must I already have to expand beyond the installed 256 GB DDR4?
The board accepts DDR4 RDIMMs or LRDIMMs up to the 1536 GB maximum; populate the remaining slots with matching speed modules to add capacity.
