's scientific enterprise management can bring healthy development to the enterprise, especially in enterprise procurement, which requires comprehensive consideration and comparison of various aspects such as industry, scale, resources, etc. As computers are our inseparable productivity tools, how to choose them is the primary issue faced by enterprises.
Taken together, no matter what kind of needs a company has, when purchasing computers, they must hope that the product will be as good as possible. How do you define "good"? This is reflected in the company's pursuit of product quality, cost performance, professionalism and safety. Especially in the post-epidemic era, some companies need to find new opportunities and new breakthroughs to achieve further development. However, the old equipment is not fully qualified to meet the diversified needs of enterprises in the new environment. This also makes employees obviously feel "inadequate" during use - unstable performance in some cases even It will affect the normal work of the enterprise and delay the progress of the project. This is all sending a signal: it’s time to change productivity tools.
Not long ago, the PConline review room received the HP Pro 99G9. The HP Pro 99G9 is a desktop workstation product under the HP brand. I would like to take this opportunity to take you to learn about this product. As we mentioned earlier, the commercial computers needed by enterprise users are different from ordinary home and entertainment equipment. Compared with the ultimate pursuit of appearance, performance, etc., when enterprises purchase commercial computers, they pay more attention to the professional and safe design of the product.
First of all, in terms of stability, HP Pro 99G9 has passed the MTBF certification of no less than 1.05 million hours and HP's internal 120,000 hours of internal testing. It can provide excellent reliability in daily use; and Energy Star The two standards of certification and EPEAT gold certification ensure the excellent energy consumption performance of HP Pro and 99G9.
In terms of after-sales service, HP Pro and 99G9 are provided with comprehensive technical support by a professional customer team, providing a 3-year nationwide limited on-site warranty, 3-year on-site maintenance by senior engineers, 3-year free major component warranty, and 7x24 hours of labor service. Service and technical support ensure that enterprise users have worry-free use; on the other hand, the after-sales service provided by HP also avoids (small businesses) to a certain extent the cost of hiring separate operation and maintenance.
Let’s look at its specific performance. The main hardware configuration of the HP Pro 99G9 we received is as follows:
Processor: Intel Core i5-12500 Graphics card: NVIDIARTX3050OEM Memory: 16GBDDR4 Hard drive: 512GB Power supply: The 500W
processor is the 12th generation Intel Core processor i5-12500. Its specifications are 6 cores and 12 threads, 18MB L3 cache, and 65WTDP design.
passed the Geekbench5 test. The i5-12500 single-core score was 1709 points and the multi-core score was 7188 points.
In CinebenchR23, a benchmark test developed based on Cinema4D software that measures the rendering capabilities of the processor, the HP Pro vs. 99G9 equipped with Core i5-12500 has a single-thread score of 1797pts, and the multi-threaded score is 11493pts. In terms of
graphics card, the HP Pro and 99G9 tested this time are equipped with NVIDIARTX3050 OEM version of the graphics card, which has 2304 CUDA units, 8GBGDDR6 is available, and supports RTX ray tracing and DLSS technology. Since
is a product targeted at workstations, we also installed the NVIDIA Studio driver for it before testing. In terms of
memory, the HP Pro and 99G9 configurations tested this time are equipped with a single 16GB DDR4. Tested through AIDA64, the read speed is 24125MB/s, the write speed is 22735MB/s, the copy speed is 25373MB/s, and the delay is 69.9ns. Overall Has a good performance. As for users who need dual-channel and large capacity, HP Pro and 99G9 have dual memory slots, leaving room for users to upgrade. It supports up to 64GB of memory, and users who have further needs in the future can freely install it. .
In terms of storage, identified by the CrystalDiskInfo software, the specific model of the HP Pro and 99G9 solid-state drives is Hynix BC711, with a capacity of 512GB. According to the CrystalDiskMark test,
has a sequential read speed of 3570.96MB/s and a sequential write speed of 2975.98MB/s. The read and write speeds are completely sufficient for daily use.
In addition, a major advantage of desktop computers is that they are easy to upgrade and expand. HP Pro and 99G9 support up to 2TB mechanical hard drive expansion. Users can install it by themselves, so that no matter how many files they work on, they can be easily loaded.
Productivity and Application Test
Regarding how HP Pro and 99G9 will perform in practice, we have also tested them, including PCMark10 Professional Edition, V-Raybenchmark, Blenderbenchmark, PremierePro, SPECviewperf2020 and other applications.
The first is the PCMark10Extended test, which provides a complete assessment of system performance beyond typical office work tasks. The HP Pro vs. 99G9 scored a combined score of 7846.
Blender is an open source, cross-platform, all-in-one 3D animation production software that provides a series of animation short film production solutions such as modeling, materials, animation, and rendering. In the benchmark, the CPU rendering test was performed, and the final results were as follows:
V-Ray is one of the most popular rendering engines in the industry. 3D modeling software such as 3DMax, Maya, etc. are well-known, all have animations developed with the V-Ray kernel. render. VrayBenchmark is a performance testing tool for the Vray rendering plug-in. According to actual tests, the i5-12500 of this machine can reach 8360vsamples.
V-Ray also supports using GPU for rendering. Running Benchmark, the GPUCUDA score is 528vpaths. The
RTX3050 graphics card also supports ray tracing acceleration and achieved a score of 652vrays in the ray tracing test V-RayGPURTX.
tests PremierePro and runs the PugetBenchforPremiere test script . Under a quarter-resolution screen, the HP Pro and 99G9 took about an hour in total, and the final score was 1038. The script ran smoothly and there was no lag. Phenomenon.
In terms of professional productivity, the author used SPECviewperf2020 for testing. SPECviewperf2020 can be called the authority in the field of graphics workstations, covering multiple test sets (3dsmax-07, catia-06, creo-03, energy-03, medical-03, snx-04 , solidworks-05, etc.), which has extremely high industry recognition. The SPECviewperf2020 test scores of HP Pro and 99G9 are as follows:
In addition, we also conducted a copy pressure test at a room temperature of 25°C using AIDA64FPU and FurMark. You can see the 30-minute stress test. Under this condition, the Core i5-12500 can maintain a stable power consumption level of 65W, and the core temperature is controlled at 85°C. The power consumption of RTX3050 is stable at 120W, the core temperature is controlled below 80°C, and the whole machine performs stably. In addition, it is worth noting that the fan of the HP Pro 99G9 is quieter during operation and the noise is well controlled.
chassis appearance and internal structure
HP Pro and 99G9 have a volume of about 15L and can be easily placed on the desktop. The grille shutter shape design can be well integrated into the office or home environment.
The front of the fuselage is arranged vertically with a power button, a 3.5mm headphone and microphone two-in-one interface, and 6 USB interfaces (two USB3.1Gen1 at the top and bottom, and two USB3.2Gen2 in the middle), which greatly facilitates user connections. Various input and output devices and storage devices, even if multiple devices are connected at the same time, you will not be forced to move the chassis to the rear panel to find interfaces because of insufficient interfaces.
This product has a disassembly-free module design on the left side, making it easier to clean and maintain the interior. The disassembly process is very simple. You only need to manually unscrew 1 screw designed on the rear of the fuselage to disassemble the chassis.
Taking apart the panel, the internal structure of HP Pro and 99G9 comes into view. The wiring design is very clean and refreshing, and it looks very comfortable. The power supply is 500W.
In terms of scalability, HP Pro and 99G9 support dual-channel memory in terms of memory, which can be configured with up to 64GBDDR4 (32x2) memory; in terms of hard disk, it supports up to 1TBSSD+2TBHDD.
In terms of heat dissipation, HP Pro and 99G9 use dual-fan airflow ducts for heat dissipation, which can efficiently dissipate heat. This is why the noise is very small when we perform high-load scenarios such as copying.
