HP’s new workstation offerings include a small form factor workstation, multicore processor updates to its Z Workstation series, and a mobile workstation with DreamColor display technology.

The HP Z200 SFF Workstation is a small form factor workstation designed for space-constrained environments including the health care, engineering, education, financial, and original equipment manufacturer markets. It is expected to be available worldwide starting April 5. U.S. pricing starts at $739.

New six-core, 32nm Intel Xeon 5600 series processors are now available on HP Z800, Z600 and Z400 workstations, which deliver greater parallel processing performance. They are available today worldwide. U.S. pricing starts at $929 for the HP Z400 Workstation, $1,579 for the HP Z600 Workstation, and $1,799 for the HP Z800 Workstation.

“The new Intel Xeon Processor 5600 series runs multithreaded workstation applications up to 45 percent faster than its predecessor, the Intel Xeon Processor 5500 series,”  says Anthony Neal-Graves, general manager for workstations at Intel.

Dressed in a gun metal anodized-aluminum finish, the HP EliteBook 8740w Mobile Workstation is HP’s most powerful mobile workstation to date. It has the ability to produce accurate, predictable and consistent color through its HP DreamColor display. The HP EliteBook 8740w is expected to be available worldwide starting in April.
