Over at Solidworks World, HP Inc has unveiled a refreshed Z4 Workstation with the power to crunch through VR-related (or other heavyweight) tasks, along with a ‘pro’ edition of the firm’s Windows Mixed Reality Headset.
The new Z4 can now be configured with Intel Core X processors – with up to 18-cores – as well as Xeon CPUs, in tandem with (up to) a pair of GPUs.
HP’s workstation is aimed at VR content creation as well as the likes of engineering and simulation-based design.
The company also revealed a new Professional Edition of the HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset, offering a pair of 1440 x 1440-resolution panels – one for each eye, as you might just have guessed – with a 90Hz refresh rate.
