DELL OptiPlex 7010 SFF desktop PC i7-3770 3.4GHz 16GB DDR3 1TB SSD

Dell OptiPlex 7010 SFF Desktop

This Dell OptiPlex 7010 Small Form Factor desktop is built around a 3rd Gen Intel Quad Core i7-3770 processor running at 3.40 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.90 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR3 memory and a 2.5-inch 1 TB solid state drive. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 supports up to three displays. The system includes a DVD±RW drive, USB keyboard, USB mouse and Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

Upgrading from older office PCs

Replacing a dual-core or earlier generation machine with this quad-core i7-3770 brings a clear gain in multi-threaded throughput for typical business workloads. The 16 GB DDR3 complement handles multiple browser tabs, office suites and background services without paging. Moving from a mechanical hard drive to the included 1 TB SSD cuts boot and application launch times dramatically. The jump is worth it when the current system struggles with concurrent tasks or slow storage response.

DDR3 platform limits

This desktop uses DDR3 memory in a 240-pin DIMM form factor with a stated maximum of 32 GB across the platform. The integrated graphics engine runs at a base frequency of 650 MHz and a maximum dynamic frequency of 1.15 GHz, supporting Intel Quick Sync Video and Clear Video HD for hardware-accelerated media decode. Gigabit Ethernet provides wired network connectivity. The Small Form Factor chassis restricts internal expansion to low-profile cards and limits drive bays to 2.5-inch devices.
