How will the Intel® Ultrabook™ (ULT) processors perform on real-world, workstation-class applications?
The ULT processors on the HP ZBook 14 G2 work with the discrete AMD FirePro™ graphics to provide up to mid-level
workstation-class performance. However, for heavily threaded applications or users requiring the greatest CPU
performance, the HP ZBook 15 G2 and 17 G2 should be considered.
What is the docking solution for the HP ZBook 14 G2?
The HP ZBook 14 G2 uses a side docking solution due to its thin design. The bottom docking on the
HP ZBook 15 G2 and HP ZBook 17 G2 will not fit on the Ultrabook™ chassis of the HP ZBook 14 G2. This side docking
solution will be refreshed to include dual digital display outputs. It will also be shared by several other HP Commercial
Notebook systems, including the EliteBook 840 G2 and 850 G2.
HP ZBook 15u G2 Mobile Workstation
What is special about the new HP ZBook 15u G2 Mobile Workstation?
The HP ZBook 15u G2 is HP’s thinnest and lightest 15.6-inch diagonal screen workstation Ultrabook™. This customizable
workstation contains the latest Intel® Core™ processors, professional AMD FirePro™ 3D graphics with AMD Enduro™
Technology, up to 16 GB memory, and is designed to pass various MIL-STD tests. It can handle up to 2 internal storage
devices (up to 1.25 TB), including the new HP Z Turbo Drive (PCIe SSD) and comes with an optional full HD IPS display.
What processors does the HP ZBook 15u G2 offer and why doesn’t it offer quad-core CPUs?
The following 5th generation Intel® Core™ i5 and i7 processors
2
are offered:
• Intel® Core™ i7-5600U with Intel® HD Graphics 5500 (2.6 GHz, 4 MB cache, 2 cores)
2
• Intel® Core™ i7-5500U with Intel® HD Graphics 5500 (2.4 GHz, 4 MB cache, 2 cores)
2
• Intel® Core™ i5-5300U with Intel® HD Graphics 5500 (2.3 GHz, 3 MB cache, 2 cores)
2
• Intel® Core™ i5-5200U with Intel® HD Graphics 5500 (2.2 GHz, 3 MB cache, 2 cores)

All of these processors are dual-core because we opted for a very thin and light form factor which doesn’t allow enough
space for the thermal requirements to include quad-core CPUs.
