    Processor

    The Z640 supports two Intel Xeon E5-2600v3 and E5-2600v4 series processors. The Hyper-Threading support allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core -- Windows recognizes 44 total cores on this unit, 22 real and 44 virtual. It also supports "Turbo Boost" which automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload - so if an application is only using one of the 44 cores it will automatically increase the speed of the core in use and turn off the unused cores.

    The TDP wattage is the power supply consumption from each processor. Since the 'extreme' processors below are higher performance, they consume approximately 150w each. We recommend only one high performance processor in the Z640 considering the total power supply output. If you prefer to have two high performance 'extreme' processors, we recommend the HP Z840 since it comes with a higher wattage power supply and supplementary ventilation to support the heat.

    We are proud to offer the Intel Xeon E5-2696v3 2.3GHz 18-core and E5-2696v4 2.2GHz 22-core processor at a spectacular price due to our volume pricing.

    ZWorkstations installs only final release, legitimate, in production processors. We never use engineering sample (ES) processors.

    Flash NVMe Storage (Primary) more info

    The Z640 supports booting off PCIe which is four times faster than a SATA3 SSD. We offer the latest HP Z Turbo Drives featuring the Samsung NVMe Flash Storage.

    • SATA 3 SSD on Drive Bay: 500MB/s
    • NVMe Flash Storage on PCIe Slot: 1,500-2500MB/s

    If 'none' is selected for this section, we will install the operating system on the drive selected in 'Drive Bay 1'. If a drive is selected in this section, the operating system will be installed on it. Since these drives are super fast, you can edit from the primary drive as well. However, many pro users prefer to have separate drives for optimal performance:

    • The primary drive for the operating system, applications, and plug-ins
    • The secondary drive for your project files to edit from / as a scratch disk / cache.

    If you require the Intel Enterprise SSD, please contact us.

    HP Z Turbo Drive - 1,750MB/s Write | 2,500MB/s Read more info

    The HP Z Turbo Drive is a PCIe 3.0 mount that carries a Samsung NVMe flash storage drive.

    • HP typyically uses the 2015/2016 model SM951 which performs at about 1200MB/s Write and 1800MB/s Read.
    • We typically use the current 2016/2017 model SM961 which performs at about 1750MB/s Write and 2500MB/s Read.

    Upon request, we can divide one drive into two partitions if you would like to have two operating systems for different purposes.

    Flash NVMe Storage (Secondary) more info

    We will install the operating system in the drive selected in the Primary section. The secondary NVMe drive can be used for a second operating system if you plan to have dual boot options or virtual machines. For post production, it can be utilized as a scratch disk. Choose the NVMe RAID if you plan to run extreme computations, or edit 6K or 8K footage.

    • SATA 3 Solid-State Drive: 500MB/s
    • HP Z Turbo Drive - Single PCIe NVMe Flash Storage: 1750MB/s Write | 2500MB/s Read
    • Two Drive PCIe NVMe Flash Storage RAID: 3500MB/s Write | 5000MB/s Read
    • Three Drive PCIe NVMe Flash Storage RAID: 4000MB/s Write | 6000MB/s Read
    • Four Drive PCIe NVMe Flash Storage RAID: 5000MB/s Write | 7000MB/s Read (up to 9000MB/s Read depending on file size and format)

    Hard Drive / SSD - Bay 1

    The Z640 has 2x internal 3.5" SATA3 (6GB/s) bays. You can arrange any combination of hard drives or solid-state drives.

    ZWorkstations stocks only brand new HGST and Western Digital hard drives, and brand new Samsung solid-state drives.

    Hard Drive / SSD - Bay 2

    Configure the second drive bay with an additional hard drive or solid-state drive.

    Optical Drive (Default)

    The Z640 chassis comes with a built in DVD Burner drive.

    Optical Bay (Upper)

    The Z640 chassis has two 5.25" bays to be used for optical drives, hard drives, or solid-state drives. One DVD Burner drive that burns and plays both CDs and DVDs comes standard.

    Since hard drives are 3.5" and solid-state drives are 2.5", the drive adapters are included in the listed price.

    Graphics Card (Primary)

    The Z640 mainboard has two PCIe Gen3 x16 slots available for the highest performing graphics cards and/or accelerators.

    If more than one of the same graphics card is selected, we will include and install the SLI Bridge by default.

    NVIDIA Quadro Kepler (Second Gen)

    NVIDIA Quadro Maxwell (Third Gen)

    NVIDIA Quadro Pascal (Fourth Gen; Latest)

    NVIDIA GTX Pascal (Latest)

    Graphics Card (Secondary)

    Choose an optional second graphics card. Note that graphics cards work independently of each other. The benefit if a second graphics card is to support more displays or if you plan to perform multiple rendering or performance tasks at the same time. If you wish to have two cards working together to increase performance, choose a NVIDIA Quadro graphics card plus a NVIDIA Tesla graphics accelerator. The NVIDIA Tesla cards work in conjunction of the Quadro as computing processors.

    Graphics Accelerator

    GPU-accelerated computing is the use of a graphics processing unit (GPU) together with a CPU to accelerate scientific, analytics, engineering, consumer, and enterprise applications. GPU-accelerated computing offers application performance by offloading compute-intensive portions of the application to the GPU, while the remainder of the code still runs on the CPU. From a user's perspective, applications simply run significantly faster.

    "Solve your most demanding High-Performance Computing (HPC) challenges with NVIDIA Tesla family of GPUs. They’re built on the NVIDIA Kepler™ compute architecture and powered by NVIDIA CUDA®, the world’s most pervasive parallel computing model. This makes them ideal for delivering record acceleration and more efficient compute performance for big data applications in fields including seismic processing; computational biology and chemistry; weather and climate modeling; image, video and signal processing; computational finance, computational physics; CAE and CFD; and data analytics." -NVIDIA
