HP Inc. announced the world’s first thin client with native quad UHD/4K display support for breakthrough graphics performance. The
HP T730 Thin Client is equipped with next-generation quad-core AMD processing power.
The
new performance leader in the HP Thin Client lineup empowers businesses
to work in the content-hungry environment they want, without add-ons,
extras or options. The HP t730 excels in this emerging market for
customers in high-performance sectors, like financial services, oil/gas,
digital media, and engineering, with an easy and secure solution to
drive their heavy content needs.
As display resolutions and screen
sizes increase, hybrid computing scenarios are driving new demand for
local client processing power. According to IDC, the Virtual Client
Computing market expects a five- year CAGR of 7.7percent.
“As
more businesses move their most demanding users and apps to virtual
computing, we’ve responded by combining cloud-client technology and
workstation innovation in one revolutionary platform,” said Jeff Wood, vice president of product management, Workstations & Thin Clients, HP Inc. “The HP t730 Thin Client gives our customers a secure, reliable endpoint for virtual workstation use cases.”
Supporting
more displays than the average desktop PC, the HP t730 natively drives
four displays at the new UHD/4K resolution standard, and six displays
with an optional AMD FirePro discrete graphics card. Multimedia is
presented in eye-popping detail that translates to a staggering
8,294,400 total pixels. The AMD R-Series quad-core APU with Turbo Core
technology accelerates CPU performance up to 3.6 GHz to run the most
demanding workstation-class apps, and render high-frame rate video to
connected displays.
