HP updates entry-level workstations with 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs

HP has refreshed its entrylevel HP Z Workstations with 13th Gen Intel Core processors and the latest Nvidia RTX professional GPUs. The Z2 Mini G9, Z2 SFF G9, Z2 Tower G9, and Z1 Tower G9 join the 'Sapphire Rapids' Z4 G5, Z6 G5 and Z8 G5 workstations (see page 13) for a comprehensive update of its desktop workstation family.

The updated 'G9 Edition' Z workstations will support a range of 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs up to the Core i9-13900K. HP has not yet announced which new 'Ada Generation' Nvidia RTX GPUs it will support, but we expect the Nvidia RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation will feature widely (see page 14), even in the compact HP Z2 Mini G9 (pictured right) HP could be waiting for Nvidia to expand its Ada Generation pro GPU offerings before making an announcement.

HP has also improved the remote management capabilities of its Intel Core workstations, announcing support for the new HP Anyware Remote System Controller in the Z2 Mini G9, Z2 SFF G9, and Z2 Tower G9. The controller offers out-of-band management, allowing IT departments to monitor and manage a workstation fleet from ‘anywhere’ www.hp.com/zworkstations
