Bold new technology

Get maximum compute and visualization power from Intel® Xeon® processors, Intel® QuickPath® technology with integrated memory controller, Intel® Hyper-Threading, and Intel® Turbo Boost technology.

Intel® Xeon® Processors

Workstation Intel Family
The latest-generation Intel® Xeon® processor technology launching with the HP Z Workstations represents the next step in processor performance and dynamic scalability while also eliminating one of the major bottlenecks of multiprocessor systems: the venerable front side bus. The new Intel® QuickPath Architecture—and its associated chipsets—gives each processor its own integrated memory controller to provide greatly increased memory performance.
The new processors also introduce an enhanced version of Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, which enables a single execution core to run two threads at the same time, doubling the potential number of overall threads that can be run simultaneously by each core in a multi-core processor. Finally, the new Intel® Turbo Boost Technology automatically allows a processor core to run faster than the base operating frequency if it fits within the processor power, current, and temperature specifications. HP has designed the HP Z Workstations for cooling and airflow specifically to leverage Intel Turbo Boost and enable a higher processor frequency than might be available in other implementations.
This system may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware and/or a DVD drive to install the Windows 7 software and take full advantage of Windows 7 functionality. See http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ for details
