Ranked #4 in Best AI Workstations
HP Z8 Fury G54.4
$7,995as of Apr 25The HP Z8 Fury G5 is HP's flagship workstation — a formidable, highly scalable tower designed specifically for demanding professional media, VFX, and AI creators who need a four-GPU ceiling. Built around Intel's Xeon W9-3495X (56 cores), 128 GB DDR5 ECC, and up to four NVIDIA RTX A6000 cards, it is a credible local-LLM training and inference rig at the upper end. The configured price varies enormously: a 1-GPU base build lands around $7,995, a 2-GPU build around $14,000, and a fully loaded 4x RTX A6000 configuration pushes well past $25,000. The price field below reflects a typical 1-GPU configured build; readers planning multi-GPU AI work should expect to roughly triple that figure.
Strengths
- — Supports up to a four-GPU configuration for extreme parallel AI inference and tensor-parallel training
- — Features an easily accessible design with a built-in handle for serviceability
- — Offers a massive range of customization options for specific workloads
Watch-outs
- — Scaling up configurations becomes prohibitively expensive — 4x A6000 builds push $25,000+
- — Enormous tower chassis requires significant floor or desk space
- — Interior uses plain black plastic rather than premium materials
