HP Z2 G5 – Core i7-10700 32GB Tower Workstation

Product Overview

This HP Z2 G5 Tower Workstation combines an eight-core Intel Core i7-10700 processor with 32GB of DDR4 memory in an ISV-certified, expandable chassis. The larger memory capacity makes it well suited to multi-threaded rendering, simulation pre-processing, and memory-intensive CAD assemblies. It targets engineering and IT procurement teams that need strong performance from an entry-class workstation platform. This build ships under SKU 644A5UT#ABA.

Product Description

The HP Z2 G5 Tower Workstation in this configuration is built for professionals running concurrent, memory-hungry applications. The Intel Core i7-10700 provides eight cores and sixteen threads with a 2.90 GHz base frequency and a 16 MB L3 cache, delivering capable multi-threaded throughput for rendering and analysis tasks. The 32GB of DDR4-3200 memory runs across two channels in a non-ECC configuration, providing meaningful headroom for large CAD assemblies and multitasking. Storage flexibility comes from PCIe NVMe SSD and SATA support, allowing fast boot volumes alongside larger project storage. The Z2 G5 carries HP workstation testing and ISV certifications for stable behavior in certified professional software. For a lower-memory build on the same processor, compare the i7-10700 16GB Z2 G5, or step to ECC memory with the Xeon W-1250 1TB Z2 G5. Browse the full HP Inc. collection for fleet standardization.
