HP Inc. announced its new Z by HP high-performance workstation desktop lineup, engineered to change what is possible within complex, data rich workflows. HP is advancing hybrid workforce management with the HP Anyware Remote System Controller, a device that gives IT departments the management capabilities to support high performance devices from anywhere.

The complex workflows in industries spanning media and entertainment, data science, and engineering mean increased time pressure and the need for more compute power to deliver faster results. They also highlight a need to iterate with remote teams and push creative boundaries to deliver more accurate results. The new Z by HP Z4, Z6, Z8, and Z8 Fury desktops, powered by Intel, deliver the scalable balance of CPU and GPU compute needed to fuel new levels of speed, accuracy, and creativity.




"Z by HP is dedicated to delivering the best possible computing experience to fuel new levels of speed, accuracy, and creativity," said Jim Nottingham, Vice President and General Manager, Z by HP. "HP's design engineering, together with the power of Intel and NVIDIA, provide the performance, scalability, and security our customers require to meet their evolving needs."

"Intel and Z by HP represent the future of high-performance workstation computing," said Roger Chandler, Vice President and General Manager, Intel. "With Intel Xeon W, users can expect breakthrough performance, advanced security features, and the scalability they need to tackle the most demanding workloads."

Extreme Workstation Performance
Z by HP innovations start with the customer to deliver the performance benefits needed whether it's importing and working with large models and assemblies, running complex simulations, or training complex deep learning and machine learning models faster. The latest Z workstation desktops include up to 56 CPU cores and four high-end GPUs in the Z8 Fury G5. The Z4, Z6, Z8, and our all-new Z8 Fury, provide a variety of configurations to meet every workflow challenge for each of these segments. From our best-selling workhorse, the Z4, to the extreme performance of the Z8 Fury, Z by HP has the right workstation for every workflow.

  • The Z8 Fury G5 delivers powerful performance while staying cool and quiet under high-performance workflows with up to 56 cores in a single CPU and unleashing the power of four high-end double-wide GPUs with 2 TB of DDR5 memory due to transformative single socket technology. Now you can breeze through even the most complex deep learning, virtual production, and VFX.
  • The HP Z4 G5 tackles advanced workflows from machine learning to advanced video editing with an evolutionary advancement of up to a 24-core CPU, two high-end GPUs, up to 512 GB of RAM. The Z4 G5 accelerates a wide range of professional apps to advance intensive workflows and provides plenty of room to expand as workflows evolves.
  • The HP Z6 G5 accelerates graphics-intensive workflows with multiple GPUs based on the increased PCIe expandability of the latest Intel Xeon W-3400 processor architecture. With up to 36 processing cores, three high-end graphics cards, and 1 TB of DDR5 memory, the Z6 G5 delivers significant performance for users demanding a machine that scales with their increased model and dataset complexity.
  • The HP Z8 G5 is designed for users who demand the most processing compute for CPU-intensive workflows to accelerate rendering with real-time ray tracing, data visualization, and model training while also providing plenty of room to expand as demands change. With a dual-socket workstation, designed to utilize 4th Gen Intel Xeon, it delivers up to 64 system cores in addition to supporting 2x high-end graphics cards with 1 TB of DDR5 memory.

Consolidate Workstation Fleet Management
The HP Anyware Remote System Controller provides IT administrators a single dashboard with the ability to launch a kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) session and perform out-out-of-band management tasks such as pre-boot access, BIOS updates and re-imaging from anywhere. Through a single interface, IT administrators can now manage a fleet of devices, access secure system information like model numbers and BIOS versions, receive reports, and develop insights, to optimize their infrastructure to resolve issues before they affect users. HP is designing this hardware and software based on strong security industry standards, completing extensive testing, third-party reviews, and certifications to ensure maximum security.

Pricing and Availability
  • The HP Z4, Z6, Z8, Z8 Fury G5 will be available for pre-order on HP.com/Z starting today.
  • The HP Anyware Remote System Controller is expected to be available this spring. Pricing will be available closer to product availability.

Started reading. This Press Release seem to have mixed up the products like a cats cradle such that it is hard to follow what is what. Then they had a video. They need to fire the PR team. That video is awful. And a waste of money. What an opportunity lost.

Maybe I'll wait for Dell to clear up the mess.

How would that work ? As far as I know there are no 32 core Xeons, so no 32 x 2 = 64.

Good catch.

I'm wondering if they copy/pasted something from their Threadripper Pro press release... and forgot to edit it to be Intel / Xeon related.

32 core Xeons are like the most common configurations, at least 14 models from the 4th generation Intel Scalable Processors have 32 cores.

Obviously there are 32 core Xeons but there are no "Xeon W-3400" 32 core CPUs.

It's a dual-socket machine, it ain't gonna use "W" series xeons. Just like with Z8 G4 it's going to use Xeon Silver/Gold with support for multi-socket configurations.
Lower tier Z2 and Z4 will.

After years of complaints about their disappearances, I can't wait to see how many posts show up criticising the front ODD slots, which will take away some fan & internal cage space.....that & the front I/O panel, which is EXACTLY where it belongs IMHO :)

Oh and the lack of TG & rainbow circus puke will surely spark some interesting comments too....

@bonehead123 yes - my workstation has a retractable coffee cup holder too. Very important, because my desk is so cluttered. ;P

Nice point - I checked the specs on the 3495, to see it is a single processing CPU. So no doubling up.

Agree on both! New Xeons are very interesting that could be the next workstation to go for, and HP's fiasco marketing does absolutely nothing to effectively communicate the differentiating benefits, missing the opportunity to put Xeon based workstations back in the game. Need to let them go... maybe Dell or custom.

I have tired of supporting the big brand computers - Apple/Dell/HP/Gateway/Renderbox. But overall, I enjoy the best with learning lessons of building my workstation. I also never received the value of purchasing from a big box store. I always felt I received a blotted machine.

Something about these PC's I hold on to for a lifetime.

Lastly, we, the consumer, should jump down the neck of the big software companies—the sad thing about getting updated parts and etc. Most of the software in the world does not take advantage of these parts. For example, I deal in the world of AutoDesk - Most of their programs do not take advantage of multi-core, big ram platforms. Why not make software that allows the end user to pick the performance impact on the machine? Maybe factory specs and requirements as one option. The second option pulls more resources for higher computers. Then the final option says I want to use all the resources there.

Maybe it is just me.
