Dell ECT1250 Tower Desktop

The Dell ECT1250 is a tower desktop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor with 24 cores and a 36 MB L3 cache. It ships with 48 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory and a 2 TB PCIe NVMe solid-state drive. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed and the system includes a wired keyboard and mouse.

Suited for AI-accelerated workloads.

The integrated Intel UHD Graphics and the Intel AI Boost NPU make this tower a fit for business users who need local AI inference alongside general productivity. Buyers who require a discrete graphics card for 3D rendering, gaming or multi-monitor arrays beyond the two video outputs should consider a different configuration.

24-core Core Ultra 9 285 with NPU

The single specification that decides fit is the Intel Core Ultra 9 285: a 24-core, 64-bit processor with a 36 MB cache and a dedicated NPU for AI tasks. If your workload benefits from that core count and on-chip acceleration, this system matches the requirement; if you need fewer cores or no NPU, another model will be more appropriate.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DisplayPort 1.4 monitor and HDMI 2.1 display connect directly to the Intel UHD Graphics outputs on this ECT1250?

Yes, the rear panel provides one DisplayPort 1.4 port and one HDMI 2.1 port driven by the integrated Intel UHD Graphics, so both monitors can plug in without adapters.

How can I confirm the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 is running with its 24 cores and DDR5 5600 MHz memory after first boot?

Open Task Manager > Performance tab; you should see 24 logical processors listed for the CPU and the memory speed reported as 5600 MHz for the 48GB DDR5 installation.

Which peripherals are included in the box and what must I supply myself for this tower desktop?

The box contains the ECT1250 tower, a Dell KB216 wired keyboard, a Dell MS116 wired mouse and a power cord; a monitor is not included and must be purchased separately.
