From 3D modeling and simulation to visualization in VR and more, power through your most demanding workflows with Z desktop or laptop workstations.
3D Modeling
CPU
4-6 cores / 5.3 GHz
This workflow is mainly single-threaded which is why we recommend fast turbo frequency and lower core count.
GPU
NVIDIA RTX A2000 or higher
Memory
32-64 GB RAM
Project complexity and multi-tasking determines the amount of RAM needed.
Storage
512 GB OS Drive - 1TB for Data drive
Simulation &
Analysis
CPU
16-20 cores
Prioritize more cores if your software app takes advantage of CPU-compute and higher frequency if the app takes advantage of GPU-compute.
GPU
NVIDIA RTX A4000-class
Memory
64-512 GB RAM
Model size and complexity determines the amount of RAM needed.
Storage
512 GB OS Drive - 1TB for Data drive
Rendering &
Visualization
CPU
16-20 cores
This is a multi-threaded workflow – meaning it takes advantage of all CPUs available – which is why we recommend prioritizing higher core count.
GPU
NVIDIA RTX A4000 or higher
Memory
32-64 GB RAM
Project complexity and multi-tasking determines the amount of RAM needed.
Storage

From video editing and 3D animation, to game development and virtual production – your teams can tackle the heaviest software driven projects with Z desktop and mobile workstations.
Video Editing and Motion Graphics
CPU
8-16 cores / 4+GHz
Medium core counts and higher clock speeds are recommended
GPU
Entry graphics
GPU-based codec support (QuickSync in some Intel CPUs and NVENC in all NVIDIA GPUs) helps with some media formats, so low-end GPUs are sufficient. Move up to higher-end GPUs when using effects and color grading.
Memory
32-128 GB RAM
32–64GB for video editing, 64-128GB for motion graphics
Storage
Determined by project scale
Determined by project scale; multi-camera shoots with proxy workflow can require massive amounts of storage. Offline editing uses lower compression files, so size is more important than speed.
3D Modeling, Animation, and Rendering
CPU
6-8 cores / 3.5+ GHz
3D modeling applications tend to be single-threaded and therefore favor clock speed over number of cores, so choose a high-frequency (at least 3.5GHz) 6- or 8-core processor.
Rendering applications tend to be multi-threaded and can scale with higher CPU core counts, so if rendering on the same machine, choose a higher core count CPU while maintaining clock speed.
GPU
NVIDIA RTX A5000 class or above
Consider whether the renderer has GPU-accelerated features or is a GPU-only renderer. Either way, most can take advantage of two GPUs while some can scale with multiple GPUs.
Memory
32-64 GB RAM
A good rule of thumb is 3-6GB per core
Storage
Minimum 1 TB
Determined by project scale but min 1 TB. Amount of texture data inflates storage requirements.
Visual Effects, Compositing, and Finishing
CPU
12-18 cores / 3 GHz
VFX applications tend to be multi-threaded so performance scales with core count. Choose a CPU with at least 12-18 cores and a base frequency of 3 GHz (based on current gen CPUs).
GPU
NVIDIA RTX A5000 class or above
Some software supports dual GPU while others can scale with multiple GPUs
Memory
64-96 GB RAM
At least 64GB but 96GB or higher recommended.
Storage
Minimum 1 TB
Determined by project scale but min 1 TB. VFX workflows need higher-speed storage systems due to uncompressed media.
