With cutting-edge single socket technology enabling 56 cores in just a single Intel Xeon w9 processor, Z8 Fury can speed up compute-heavy tasks across VFX and data science. But it's more than just advanced processing power that makes the Z8 Fury extraordinary. Adopting a single processor compute architecture enabled a design that pur- posefully balances the powerful CPU performance with extreme GPU performance. Why is that important? Because the compute environment has changed dramatically with CPU and GPU compute now equally important. Specifically, data scientists, creative professionals, product de- velopers, architects, and engineers have ever-growing data pro- cessing and compute requirements across their high-end workflows coupled with a need to create and iterate faster. With the extreme performance of the Z8 Fury workstation across both processor and graphics, media and entertainment pros can seamlessly build envi- ronments and render in real time, and drive render nodes in virtual production studios for in-camera VFX on an LED stage. Data scien- tists can train models faster and with more iterations or analyze data in real time for more accurate insights. Because a machine built with both a powerful CPU and four high-end GPUs has not previously been broadly available commer- cially, pros in both fields, but particularly in media and entertain- ment/VFX, had to build their own high-power compute worksta- tions. Using the new Intel Xeon w9 processor with 56 cores in just a single CPU, space is freed up to enable four double-wide GPUs in the same workstation. Z by HP now delivers this capability out of the box in the Z8 Fury. And, when combined with HP Anyware soware and the new HP Anyware Remote System Controller for out-of-band management, the extreme performance of Z by HP workstations can be accessed and managed remotely, essential in the age of work-from-anywhere.
