    Processor

    The Z820 supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2600v1 and E5-2600v2 series processors for the ultimate in power and performance. The Hyper-Threading support allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core -- Windows recognizes 48 total cores on this unit, 24 real and 24 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 48 cores it will automatically increase the speed of the core in use and turn off the unused cores.

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

    We are proud to offer the Intel Xeon E5v2 2.5GHz 12-core processor at a remarkable price due to our volume pricing.

    Flash NVMe Storage

    The Z820 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: 500MB/s
    • HP Z Turbo Drive (PCIe NVMe Flash Storage): 1,750MB/s Write | 2,500MB/s Read

    By default, the operating system will be installed on this drive. 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 to edit from / as a scratch disk / data.

    Hard Drive / SSD - Bay 1

    The Z820 has 4x internal 3.5" SATA3 (6GB/s) bays. You can arrange any combination of hard drives or solid-state drives.

    Z-Workstations 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.

    Hard Drive / SSD - Bay 3

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

    Hard Drive / SSD - Bay 4

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

    Optical Bay 1 (Upper)

    The Z820 chassis has three 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 Z840 mainboard has 3x 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.

    Quadro Kepler (Second Gen)

    Quadro Maxwell (Third Gen)

    NVIDIA Quadro Pascal (Fourth Gen; Latest)

    GTX Maxwell (Second Gen)

    GTX Third Gen. (Pascal)

    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
