Which processor (available in HP Z1 G2 workstations) does not support integrated Intel HD Graphics?

Question

Options

• AIntel XeonE3-1280v3
• BIntel Core i3-4130
• CIntel Xeon i7-4600v3
• DIntel Core i5-4570

• A
  74% (28)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  16% (6)
• D
  8% (3)

Explanation

Intel Xeon E3-1280v3 is correct because this particular Xeon chip ships without an integrated GPU die - Intel intentionally omits integrated graphics from certain Xeon E3-12x0 v3 models (those ending in "0" in the x280/x270 range) to reduce cost and power draw in workstation contexts where a discrete GPU is assumed.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (Core i3-4130): All Haswell Core i3 desktop CPUs include Intel HD Graphics 4400 - Intel never released an i3 without integrated graphics in this generation.
• C (Xeon i7-4600v3): This label blends Xeon and Core i7 naming, but whichever chip this refers to in the HP Z1 G2 lineup includes integrated graphics.
• D (Core i5-4570): A standard Haswell Core i5 with Intel HD Graphics 4600 built in.

Memory tip: Think of the "80" suffix as "80% of the package - no iGPU." In Intel's Xeon E3 v3 lineup, the 1280 and similar higher-suffix models strip out the integrated graphics to differentiate them from consumer chips. If a Xeon E3 ends in "0" at the last digit and sits in the upper model tier, suspect no iGPU.
