Bringing new levels of power previously only available in high-end desktop workstations<\/a>, at NVIDIA\u2019s GTC 2021, HP is announcing significant GPU performance improvements to its entry Z by HP<\/a> desktop lineup<\/a>, including HP Z1 Tower G8, HP Z2 Small Form Factor G8, and Z2 Tower G8, to ensure today\u2019s professionals have the right technology <\/a>and tools to be productive, connected, collaborative, and secure, whether working from home or in the office. Additionally, in order to democratise 3D for entry workflows and bring advanced visualisation to the masses, Z offers the latest technology <\/a>from NVIDIA\u00ae and Samsung, brands trusted by the creative community to bring reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance is critical for creators to speed up the conversion of ideas into designs and their needs continue to grow with real time engines as design cycle times are reduced. \u00a0As companies migrate to a more hybrid work model, 77 per cent of IT decision makers agree that this means an increase in security vulnerabilities. The Z entry desktop lineup<\/a> offers advanced security features, equipping IT departments the ability to keep devices, data, and identities protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NVIDIA\u2019s new NVIDIA\u00ae RTX\u2122 A4000 and RTX\u2122 A5000 provide HP Z2 Tower G8 customers the option to configure their Z desktop with the latest generation RT cores, Tensor Cores, and CUDA cores to deliver a powerful desktop <\/a>experience for designers, engineers, and artists to create the future, without limits. Z by HP<\/a> is also adding additional Ampere graphics options to the performance desktop line, including the Z4, Z6, and Z8 desktop workstations, for improved performance across segment workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRemote work is going to continue and employees will have a choice of where to work,\u201d said Bob Pette, vice president of Professional Visualization at NVIDIA. \u201cThe new NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPUs with Z by HP<\/a> desktops<\/a> will give employees the computing power they need to work from anywhere<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To further enhance the performance of the Z entry desktop lineup<\/a>, customers can now configure the Z1 Tower, Z2 SFF, and Z2 Tower with Samsung\u2019s recently announced PCIe Gen4 drives<\/a>. The latest drives from Samsung offer increased transfer rates, delivering improved bandwidth for even greater performance and seamless workflows for data-intensive users. Customers now get unthrottled storage performance because of innovative thermal solutions designed by Z by HP<\/a> engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday\u2019s rapidly changing work environment has cemented the PC\u2019s role as a critical productivity tool,\u201d said Jaejune Kim, Corporate Senior Vice President of Memory Marketing, Samsung. \u201cWith applications growing in complexity and file sizes increasing exponentially, PCIe Gen4 SSDs offer a big step up in performance.\u00a0\u00a0We\u2019re proud to partner with HP<\/a> on the design in of our PM9A1 SSD into HP<\/a>\u2019s newest performance platforms to maximise the technology <\/a>benefits for an improved user experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HP Z2 G8 SFF and Z2 G8 Tower:<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Z2 Small Form Factor, the world\u2019s fastest SFF workstation running Autodesk and SolidWorks applications,\u00a0and the\u00a0Z2 Tower improves on previous generations with the latest components from NVIDIA\u00ae, Intel\u00ae, and Samsung, and continues to be an industry-leader in sustainability being part of the world\u2019s most sustainable PC portfolio. To help meet needs of the today\u2019s workforce, the Z2 SFF and Z2 Tower continue to offer increased expandability capabilities with tool-less access in condense and compact desktop footprints<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Z2 Small Form Factor features up to 11th<\/sup> generation Intel\u00ae Core\u00ae and Xeon\u00ae W processors and up to an NVIDIA\u00ae Quadro RTX\u2122 3000 GPU to deliver outstanding performance for accelerated ray tracing and AI in a small size with endless options to upgrade. The Z2 Tower is the benchmark in entry-level workstation power for professional creators. With the Z2 Tower, users can now run multi-threaded applications while multitasking by leveraging up to an NVIDIA\u00ae RTX\u2122 A5000 GPU and Intel\u00ae Xeon\u00ae vPro\u00ae processors and Intel CPU K-series performance with no throttling in SPECapc\u2122 for SOLIDWORKS\u2122 2021 benchmark in a design engineered to evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
