Professional workstation for multi-threaded
The HP Z840 tower workstation is built for professional design, content creation, rendering and engineering tasks. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2687W v3 processors deliver 20 cores running at 3.06 GHz for responsive multi-threaded performance. 256GB of DDR4 memory supports smooth multitasking with large project files. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit comes pre-installed for immediate setup.
Upgrade from single-socket or lower-core systems
This configuration replaces single-processor workstations or systems with fewer than 20 cores when workloads demand simultaneous compute threads. The jump is worth it for rendering, simulation and data-heavy applications that scale across all available cores. The 512GB SSD and 1TB HDD combination provides fast application launch with capacity for active projects. Buyers who need more than two processors or newer CPU architectures should consider other platforms.
Sustained load behaviour with professional graphics
Under continuous load the dual 10-core Xeon configuration maintains throughput for extended rendering and calculation tasks. The NVIDIA Quadro K600 with 1GB DDR3 memory drives professional visual applications including CAD and multi-display setups. The tower chassis accommodates the thermal requirements of two processors during prolonged operation. Workloads requiring modern GPU compute APIs or larger frame buffers will exceed the K600 capabilities.

Questions about this item
What drive bays are available for the 512 GB SSD and 1 TB HDD?
The tower chassis provides tool-less 3.5 inch bays that accept both the 512 GB SSD and the 1 TB HDD; cabling routes behind the motherboard tray.
How are the two Xeon E5-2687W v3 processors installed, and what step is often missed?
Each CPU seats in an LGA 2011-3 socket; the thermal module must be lowered and locked before the heatsink screws are tightened, otherwise the second processor will not post.
What memory upgrades does the 256 GB DDR4 configuration support later?
Eight DIMM slots per processor allow registered DDR4 modules up to the platform maximum; add matching sticks in quad-channel sets to keep all 20 cores fed.
