Dell EBT2250 Tower Plus Desktop

The Dell EBT2250 Tower Plus is a new desktop computer built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor with 24 cores and a turbo frequency up to 5.6 GHz. It ships with 32GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory and a 1TB NVMe M.2 solid state drive. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed, and a wired keyboard and mouse are included in the box.

Suited for AI-assisted productivity.

This system suits professionals and educators who want on-device AI acceleration through the Intel AI Boost NPU and Microsoft Copilot integration. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 handles multi-monitor 4K output via HDMI and Thunderbolt 4. Buyers who need a discrete graphics card for 3D rendering, gaming or GPU compute workloads should look at a different platform.

24-core Core Ultra 9 285 with NPU

The deciding specification is the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor, which combines 24 cores, 76MB total cache and a dedicated neural processing unit for local AI inference. This architecture targets workloads that benefit from heterogeneous compute across CPU, GPU and NPU resources. If your software stack does not utilise NPU acceleration, a processor without that block may offer better value.

Questions about this item

How many cores and what turbo frequency does the Core Ultra 9 285 reach before thermal limits appear under sustained load?

The processor has 24 cores and can turbo up to 5.6 GHz, so thermal throttling will be the first limit during prolonged heavy workloads.

What noise and heat levels should I expect when the EBT2250 runs all day with the included Intel UHD Graphics 770?

The 19.00 lb tower uses integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 and a 24-core CPU, so sustained operation will produce noticeable fan noise and warm exhaust air.

Which display cable and monitor port do I need to connect a screen to the HDMI 2.0 output on this desktop?

You must supply a monitor with an HDMI input and an HDMI cable; the system includes HDMI 2.0 but no display or cable in the box.
