The HP Z210 CMT and SFF entry workstations are the successors of the HP Z200 Workstations. The HP Z210 introduces a new Intel® micro-architecture for improved performance, processor based professional graphics and a new workstation chipset with upgraded I/O bandwidth.
Technology Highlights
These are a few of the technology highlights of the new entry workstation platform:
Processor
The HP Z210 Workstations offers a choice of the Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 family or 2nd generation Intel Core™ i3/i5/ i7 processors, featuring a new micro-architecture in the 32nm process. The HP Z210 utilizes the Intel C206 PCH (Platform Controller Hub) designed for workstations. It now also supports the Intel Turbo Boost Technology4 2.0 with new Dynamic and Graphics Turbo Boost features, Intel HD Graphics P30005 and Intel vPro® Technology. With this processor architecture and generation, all higher frequency processors (Intel Core i5/i7 and Intel Xeon E3-12xx) are quad core. Dual-core processing is only available on the Core i3-2xxx processors and below and will not support Intel Turbo Boost Technology.
Memory
The HP Z210 Workstations support both non-ECC and ECC protected unbuffered DDR3-1333 UDIMMs. The HP Z210 supports system memory sizes up to 32 GB (using 8 GB DIMMs) via two direct attach memory channels each having two DIMM slots.
Graphics
The HP Z210 Workstations now support the new Intel® HD Graphics P3000 (on select Xeon processors) which is certified for a limited set of professional applications. The platform also supports one PCIe Gen2 graphics card (midrange 3D, up to 75W) in the PCIe2 x16 slot. By using the PCIe Gen2 x16 (4) slot, dual professional 2D graphics cards can be utilized to enable up to four 2D displays support
I/O Slots
The HP Z210 Workstations provide a total of seven high-performance graphics and I/O slots. In comparison to the HP Z200, all PCIe slots now support the Gen2 speeds (starting with 5 Gb/s, bidirectional, on a PCIe2 x1 slot). An additional PCIe x4 slot is now connected directly to the processor, providing lower access latency for demanding applications. Five PCIe slots have been supported for HP Z210 Workstations, while the HP Z200 supports four in total. Two SATA ports have been upgraded to SATA Gen3 6.0 Gbps now for HP Z210 Workstations.8
