Open the recordWhat actually differs
- Same RTX PRO platform. Model recipes carry over; the real differences are chassis, storage, cooling, support and price.
- Both expose 96 GB to models (96 GB per GPU · up to 4 GPUs vs 96 GB per GPU · up to 3 Max-Q GPUs).
- Memory bandwidth is not in the record for either machine, so the Lab cannot compare generation speed ceilings.
- No public list price in the record for either machine. Ask the supplier for a configured quote.

Before you choose
HP Z8 Fury G6i
- Up to 2 TB DDR5 ECC system RAM is separate from GPU memory. The memory screen uses one 96 GB GPU.
- Multiple GPUs do not automatically form one memory pool. Framework support, sharding and interconnect overhead must be evaluated.
Lenovo ThinkStation P7
- September 2026 PSREF supports up to three RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q GPUs or one 600 W Workstation Edition GPU, with orderability still to confirm.
- Memory screening uses a single 96 GB GPU, not an assumed pool across three cards.
