Z2 G4 Workstation Mini Tower-Your new benchmark for entry workstation power
The HP Z2 Tower G4 workstation is the next generation up from the Z240. HP is targeting the Z2 at entry and mid-range creators needs in AEC/Product Dev (e.g., CAD), Higher Education (e.g., Engineering labs), as well as Media and Entertainment (e.g., Maya). It is 13% smaller but with options for graphics packages providing 60% more power than the Z240.
Like many HP and other off the shelf workstations, the Z2 offers several customization options. For processors, it leans towards 8th generation Intel processors but also supports several Xeon processors and even a Pentium. Notably, many of the CPU options boast six cores, a major plus for anyone doing multi-threaded work. The Z2 also offers a range of hard drives depending on your storage and access speed needs, including their HP Z Turbo Drive G2 PCIe NVMe SSD. The NVMe drives provide some pretty significant performance gains over standard high-performing SSDs. This includes faster boot up, calculation, and graphics response times. It also allows for ideal work conditions under resource-heavy applications, adding a ton of versatility and power to the Z2.
