HP has unveiled an updated HP Z Workstation line that features Intel's Xeon processor, several design innovations, multi-core updates and increased expandability.
The company says the HP Z820 was engineered for the most demanding and compute-intensive visualisation needs, and is perfect for customers using oil and gas, computer-aided design (CAD), and engineering, medical or media and entertainment applications.
For quiet environments and minimal space consumption, the HP Z620 is ideal for customers in financial services, video, animation, architecture and midrange CAD, says HP.
Finally, the HP Z420 was designed to meet mainstream computing and graphic needs for customers in product design, architecture, and video and image editing.
The workstations feature the latest eight-core Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family, offer up to 512GB of DDR3 memory and support multithreaded workstation applications.
According to HP, the Z820 provides up to 16 processing cores, up to 512GB of ECC memory, up to 14 terabytes (TB) of high-speed storage, and dual Nvidia Quadro 6000 graphics.
The HP Z620 provides up to 16 processing cores, up to 96GB of ECC memory, up to 11TB of high-speed storage, and Nvidia Quadro 6000 or dual Nvidia Quadro 5000 graphics.
The machines also feature third-generation PCI Express technology, offering increased performance and seamless integration of new graphics cards, says HP.
The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family allows for up to 16 physical cores in a single system and lets 32 threads run at one time when using two processors, each with eight cores and Intel Hyper-Threading Technology enabled.
The workstations include 90%-efficient power supplies that lower both overall energy usage and the amount of waste heat released. All HP Z Workstations offer BFR/PVC-free configurations and are more than 90% recyclable by weight.
