Within the Z Series, the Z840 Series Tower Workstation from HP delivers extreme performance in a tower form factor. The Z840 is designed for professionals who require high reliability and is well suited for tasks such as intensive graphics, 3D rendering, multimedia, and gaming, as well as science and engineering applications. The system is powered by dual 2.2 GHz Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors armed with twelve cores on each CPU, for a total of 24 cores. There is also 30MB of Intel Smart Cache per processor, for a total of 60MB. These processors, cores, and cache will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously and provide significant performance gains when running multi-threaded tasks. If you need more power, the CPU can deliver extra performance by increasing the clock speed up to 2.9 GHz utilizing Intel's Turbo Boost 2.0 technology.

The 32GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 ECC Registered RAM allows the computer to run multiple applications simultaneously and also to quickly access frequently-used files and programs. This Z840 is able to support 16 DIMM slots and the current 32GB memory configuration is made up of 8 x 4GB modules, which can be upgraded to up to 128GB per slot for a total of 2TB of RAM. As this RAM features ECC technology, it is able to help detect and correct the most common kinds of internal data corruption. This RAM is also registered, and registered memory modules, also known as buffered memory modules, place less electrical load on the memory controller and allow single systems to remain stable with more memory modules than they would have otherwise.

For long-term storage of your files, this system is equipped with a 512GB Z Turbo Drive PCIe SSD, which allows quick access to your data. While the SSD may not have the larger storage capacity of a traditional spinning disk, it contains no moving parts, which helps it to be more resistant against bumps, drops, and other kinds of damage. SSDs also receive less wear and tear than traditional hard drives, as there are no read and write heads. Additionally, as this SSD connects via PCIe as compared to SATA, it is able to operate with even greater data transfer speeds. It provides sequential reads up to 1.17 GB/s and sequential writes up to 930 MB/s.

If you want to add external storage drives or other peripherals, the Z840 features eight USB 3.0 Type-A ports, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, one serial port, and two PS/2 ports. There is also a Thunderbolt 2 PCIe 1-port I/O card, which allows bi-directional transfer speeds of up to 20 Gb/s and also includes a DisplayPort. For users who wish to add additional components to the drive bays, the Z840 features four internal 3.5" drive bays and two external 5.25" drive bays. The dedicated NVIDIA Quadro M4000 graphics card features 8GB of GDDR5 RAM over a 256-bit memory interface with a bandwidth of 192 GB/s and delivers a sharp, clear picture while allowing for up to four simultaneous displays to be used via its four DisplayPort outputs at resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz. Whether you are listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a game, the integrated IDT 92HD94 audio controller outputs high-definition audio and delivers higher fidelity than standard audio controllers.

The Z840 Series Tower Workstation is powered by an 1125W power supply and includes a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, a power cord, HP Remove Graphics Software, and an HP Dual Processor Air Cooling Kit. The installed operating system is Windows 10 Pro (64-bit).
