HP2-H36 · Question #27
Which chipset is available on all HP Z440, HP Z640, and HP Z840 workstations?
The correct answer is B. Lntelc612. Option B, the Intel C612 chipset, is the platform foundation shared across the HP Z440, Z640, and Z840 workstations - all three are built on Intel's Wellsburg architecture and pair the C612 with Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 processors. (Note: "Lntelc612" in the answer choices is simply…

Explanation
Option B, the Intel C612 chipset, is the platform foundation shared across the HP Z440, Z640, and Z840 workstations - all three are built on Intel's Wellsburg architecture and pair the C612 with Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 processors. (Note: "Lntelc612" in the answer choices is simply "Intel C612" with a font rendering issue making the capital "I" look like "L.")
Why the distractors are wrong:
- A (DDR4) - DDR4 is a memory type, not a chipset; while these workstations do support DDR4, memory technology and chipsets are different components.
- C (AMD 9-series) - These HP Z-series workstations are Intel-based platforms; AMD chipsets are incompatible and were never used here.
- D (VIA CN700) - The CN700 is a VIA Technologies chipset from the mid-2000s aimed at embedded/low-power systems, entirely unrelated to professional workstations.
Memory tip: Think "C612 = Common to all three." The Z440, Z640, and Z840 share a Common Intel C612 chipset foundation - the numbers 440/640/840 reflect CPU socket count and scalability, not a chipset change.
