HP Z840 Workstation 2× 12-Core Xeon E5-2690 v3 2.60GHz 64GB DDR4

Dual Xeon workstation for professional workloads

The HP Z840 tower ships with two 12-core Xeon E5-2690 v3 processors running at 2.60 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 slots. It targets engineers, designers and data analysts who need multi-threaded CPU performance without a pre-installed GPU or storage. Buyers who require a ready-to-run operating system or integrated graphics should look elsewhere.

Sixteen DDR4 slots define upgrade ceiling

The board provides 16 DIMM sockets populated with 64 GB total, so maximum memory depends on the capacity of modules you install. No drive bays are filled, leaving all storage decisions to the builder. Systems needing more than two physical CPUs cannot use this platform.

Tower chassis accepts standard components

The LGA 2011 sockets and DDR4 slots follow common workstation layouts, so CPU and memory installation is straightforward for experienced builders. Missing drives and an absent operating system mean first boot requires adding storage and installing an OS before any application can run. Inexperienced users may find the bare-metal starting point time-consuming.
