HP Z2 Mini G1a Workstation (AMD Ryzen AI MAX PRO)
$3,523.99
The HP Z2 Mini G1a is a compact, workstation-certified desktop built around AMD's Ryzen AI Max PRO processor family. HP positions it for CAD, 3D design, rendering and local AI/LLM inference, with ISV certifications, MIL-STD durability testing and an enterprise warranty. It suits engineers, designers and ML practitioners who want workstation reliability in a footprint small enough to mount behind a monitor.
Who it's for
- CAD, 3D design, rendering and content creation with ISV-certified applications
- Local LLM inference and light fine-tuning on up to 128GB of unified memory
- Teams already running HP Z-series workstations who want the same procurement and support
- Shared deployments, with roughly five units per 4U of rack space
Key features
- AMD Ryzen AI MAX PRO options: From the Ryzen AI MAX PRO 385 (8 cores/16 threads, up to 5.0GHz, Radeon 8050S) to the Ryzen AI MAX+ PRO 395 (16 cores/32 threads, up to 5.1GHz, 64MB L3 cache, Radeon 8060S).
- Up to 128GB unified LPDDR5x: One memory pool shared by CPU and GPU, with up to 96GB assignable to the integrated GPU through AMD Variable Graphics Memory.
- Up to 50 TOPS NPU: Dedicated AI acceleration on top of CPU and Radeon graphics compute.
- Storage to 8TB: Dual NVMe modules with RAID support.
- Connectivity: 1x USB4-C (40Gbps/Thunderbolt 4), 1x USB-C (10Gbps), 2x USB-A (10Gbps), 2x Mini DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR10 driving up to four 4K displays, 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and two Flex I/O slots with ten additional I/O module options.
- Flexible mounting: On the desk, behind a monitor, or under a desk with an optional VESA mount accessory.
- Enterprise build: MIL-STD 810H durability tested, a high-airflow 3D mesh chassis, and 60% recycled plastics / 20% recycled steel.
- Windows 11 Pro, WSL2 or Linux: Configure the OS to suit your development environment.

Good to know
- Reviewers have tested the top configuration running 120-billion-parameter class models without a discrete GPU.
- It is not a training rig for large models from scratch, and ROCm maturity still trails CUDA's depth for the newest inference frameworks.
Choose the Ryzen AI MAX PRO 385 configuration for CAD, office work and light AI. Step up to the AI MAX+ PRO 395 with 128GB when local LLM inference and larger models drive the purchase.
