The most powerful PC/Workstation is here. Yes, you’ve
probably already heard of it, the HP Z8.
It has been a while since HP has released their Z series of workstations. It has gained popularity among the top level of simulation designers, professional editors etc. Let’s take a look at what we actually have going on this whole unimaginably over ‘spec’ed workstation Z8.
Specs:
- 56 Cores Intel Xeon Processor
- 3 TB Memory (RAM)
- 48 TB Storage
- 3x NVIDIA Quadro P6000 Graphics (Up to 72GB Graphics Memory)
I Know! This is one heck of a pc!! The specs are jaw
dropping and maybe a “more than dream” stuff for a majority of people still out
there. And moreover, it costs around (for the base model: not with the spec
above!) $2,439 (approx. 1.5L INR)
Admit it, you may not even be having 3TB internal Hard Drive
in your PC you are using now. This
Workstation really has 3TB RAM and it’s a tiny bit over the limit of what we can believe that exists. I know what you are thinking right now: “Mahn!! What would
they do with this powerful monster?” And I'll tell you what.
With the continuous progress in development in the field of Tech, there is a necessity of a computer this powerful. Now 4k videos are getting more and more popular even though the viewers of 4k video in that quality are very very less. 4k televisions are getting cheaper and even mobile phones with 4k screens have been released. So computers and cameras became powerful to be capable of shooting, editing, and thereby creating 4k footages.
But recently, there has been more advancement in the quality of videos. A couple of years ago a television capable of viewing 8k video was released. But back then, no video cameras were able to capture that high quality content. A year later, video cameras were released which were capable of shooting 8k footages. Computers needed to be more and more powerful to handle these high quality footages and make us able to edit them. This is the incident that paved way to what we see now.
This Z8 is made capable to edit 8k footages seamlessly with minimal render delays. This advancement will increase the productivity of a film maker or editor by a scale which is unimaginable for us. Also, in film making fields, for making commercials of vehicles which are not yet released, they use a special prototype vehicle, which can later be mapped with the unreleased vehicle’s body through post production editing.
The training of highly dangerous sports or professions like Racing, Defence also will be benefitted by this monster machine. The training of these occupations include a large amount of simulations. By using this computer, we can also increase the efficiency and the details in the simulations. It is also built VR read. That means it can handle Virtual Reality simulations also.

Hence, there is no way that it is a mistake by the tech
companies to take the charge in designing and producing computers and
workstations powerful as this. But for a common man, it still remains as a not
possible or even imaginable dream!!
