1. The specifications shown in this column represent the maximum turbo frequency with one core active. Turbo boost
stepping occurs in 100MHz increments. Processors that do not have turbo functionality are denoted as N/A.

2. Integrated Graphics is NOT enabled in the HP VR Backpack G2. All graphics for the platform is provided by the
NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX2080 GPU.

NOTES:

* Multicore is designed to improve performance of certain software products. Not all customers or software applications
will necessarily benefit from use of this technology. Performance and clock frequency will vary depending on application

workload and your hardware and software configurations. Intel’s numbering is not a measurement of higher

performance.

INTEL® Core™ i7 with vPro™

Intel® Core™ i7 with vPro™ technology is a selectable feature that is available on units configured with select
processors, a qualified Intel® Centrino® WLAN module and a preinstalled Windows® operating system. It provides
advances in remote manageability, security, energy efficient performance, and wireless connectivity. Intel® Active
Management Technology (iAMT) offers built-in manageability and proactive security for networked mobile
workstations, even when they are powered off* or when the operating system is inoperable. It can help identify
threats before they reach the network, isolate infected systems, and update regardless of their power state.

*Requires a Windows operating system, network hardware and software, connection with a power source, and a
direct (non-VPN) corporate network connection which is either cable or wireless LAN.

NOTE: Some functionality of Intel® Core™ i7 with vPro™ such as Intel® Active Management technology and Intel®

Virtualization technology, requires additional third- party software in order to run. Availability of future "virtual
appliances" applications for Intel® Core™ i7 with vPro™ technology is dependent on third- party software providers.
Compatibility with future "virtual appliances" is yet to be determined.

NOTE: NVIDIA® GEFORCE® mobile graphics support up to four independent displays when

used with an HP Z VR Backpack Dock (included with the HP VR Backpack G2) Connecting a
Virtual Reality HMD will take one or more of the display connections depending on the HMD
requirements, thus reducing the number of simultaneous external displays connected
accordingly.

NVIDIA® GC6 Technology is supported allowing S0 state power usage optimization.

DisplayPort™ 1.2 protocol features supported on Thunderbolt™ 3 ports:

• Legacy displays (HDMI, DVI, VGA) may be attached to Thunderbolt™ port with
the use of a certified dongle.

• DisplayPort™ monitors capable of supporting DisplayPort™ 1.2 may be directly
attached to the Thunderbolt™ port to achieve HBR2 with the use a dongle.

• Thunderbolt™ 3 enabled monitors may be directly attached to the Thunderbolt

port to achieve HBR2 and MST.

• DisplayPort™1.2 MST feature ("daisy-chain" feature) is supported through
Thunderbolt™ 3 port on Thunderbolt™ 3 enabled devices or DisplayPort™1.2

monitors (requires monitor with DisplayPort™ 1.2 MST capability) with the use of

a dongle.

• Up to 2 streams (eight lanes) of DisplayPort™ 1.2 are supported over a single
Thunderbolt™ 3 port. Up to (2) 4K displays 24/30-bit color depth at 60 Hz or (1)

5K display supported over a single Thunderbolt™

3 port. (Requires Intel®

certified Thunderbolt™ cable).

DisplayPort™ 1.2 w/MST (Multi-stream Transport): Supports resolutions up to Full 4K, 24/30-

bit color depth at 60 Hz, and WUXGA (1920 x1200) monitors, 24/30-bit color depth at 120 Hz.

NOTE: Thunderbolt™ 3 is superset port supporting DisplayPort™ 1.2, USB 3.1 Gen 2, and

PCIe Gen 3 devices over the new USB-C™ connector. Install all the latest drivers for your

Thunderbolt™ device before connecting the device to the Thunderbolt™ port. Thunderbolt™
cable and Thunderbolt™ device (sold separately) must be compatible with Windows. To

determine whether your device is Thunderbolt™ Certified for Windows, see
