HP releases new ZGX desktop with Nvidia GB300, 496 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 276 GB VRAM
HP has finally started selling its latest high-end workstation in the US. For context, the company presented the ZGX Fury AI Station at the start of September. As we discussed at the time, HP declined to reveal how much the workstation would cost.
Nonetheless, we inferred that the ZGX Fury AI Station could cost in excess of $100,000, based on the price of equivalent machines. Now, HP's latest workstation has landed in the US, both on the company's official webstore and on B&H Photo Video. However, the ZGX Fury AI Station costs considerably more than we expected.
For context, all SKUs ship with an identical Nvidia GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra chipset packing 72 ARM Neoverse V2 cores. Additionally, HP always includes 496 GB of LPDDR5x-6400 RAM and dual 2 TB SSDs. With that said, the ZGX Fury AI Station contains two other M.2 slots for up to 32 TB of storage, as well as three PCIe Gen 5 and QSFP112 (400 Gbps) ports for linking two machines.
Moreover, the Nvidia GB300 contains 252 GB of HBM3e GPU memory to provide 7.1 TB/s of bandwidth. Nonetheless, one can configure RTX Pro 2000 or RTX Pro 4000 Blackwell Generation discrete GPUs with 16 GB and 24 GB of GDDR7 VRAM, respectively. Currently, the machine starts at $132,000 with no dedicated GPU. Alternatively, HP charges $1,000 extra for an RTX Pro 2000 and $4,000 more for the RTX Pro 4000 (curr. $2,999 on Amazon). Please see HP's website for more details about the ZGX Fury AI Station.
