New AMD-based computer combines the best of both AMD and Nvidia for engineers and other visualization professionals.
Capitalizing on AMD’s unveiling of its next gen workstation processors, HP today announced the new Z6 G5 A desktop workstation powered by the AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7000 WX series CPUs. The latest addition to the Z by HP workstation lineup features up to 96 cores and up to three pro graphics cards.
The HP Z6 G5 A targets engineers and other professional users, and is “perfect for tearing through virtual production, 3D modeling tasks, or complex, advanced data sets,” according to HP’s press release.
The new workstation maxes out with the AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX CPU and three Nvidia RTX 6000 Ada Generation GPUs. AMD graphics cards are also supported. The HP Z6 G5 A offers up to six PCIe Gen 5 slots and twelve NVMe SSDs for flexible user upgrades.
Even with all that going on, HP assures users that the Z6 G5 A won’t moonlight as a radiator and sound like a jet engine. The workstation has enough airflow to remain cool at peak performance, according to HP, and adjusts fan speeds in real time using more than 20 temperature sensors for “whisper-quiet operation.”
“The HP Z6 G5 A is a groundbreaking workstation that embodies the perfect fusion of maximized cores and powerful graphics,” Jim Nottingham, HP’s senior vice president and division president for Advanced Compute and Solutions, said in the HP release. “Our team at HP is dedicated to empowering professionals across the fields of virtual production, 3D rendering, and data science with a robust and reliable solution that not only meets, but exceeds, performance expectations.”
HP says it expects the Z6 G5 A to be available on the company’s website in November 2023.
