DELL Precision 5820 Tower Workstation Xeon W-2245 3.9GHz 16GB DDR4 1TB NVMe Quadro P5000 desktop PC

Precision 5820 Xeon Workstation

The Dell Precision 5820 Tower is a mid-tower workstation built for professionals running compute-intensive applications. It ships new with Windows 11 Pro and is configured with an 8-core Intel Xeon W-2245 processor, 16GB of registered ECC DDR4 memory, and a 1TB NVMe solid-state drive for fast system responsiveness. This system targets engineers, designers, and analysts who need reliable single-threaded speed and error-correcting memory in a standard business desktop form factor.

Xeon W-2245 8-Core Processor

The single specification that determines suitability is the Intel Xeon W-2245 CPU, an 8-core part with a 3.9GHz base clock and 4.7GHz turbo frequency on the LGA 2066 platform. Registered ECC DDR4 memory runs at 2933MHz across two populated slots, leaving six slots open for expansion up to the 256GB platform maximum. Buyers who need higher core counts, different socket compatibility, or non-ECC consumer memory should look elsewhere, as this motherboard and chipset are built specifically for Xeon W-series processors and registered DIMMs.

Sustained Load Thermal Design

Under sustained load the 950-watt 80 Plus Gold power supply delivers 90% efficiency to feed the Xeon and the Quadro P5000 graphics card with 16GB of GDDR5X memory on a 256-bit bus. The mid-tower chassis is engineered for continuous professional workloads such as 3D rendering, simulation, or multi-display visualisation across four DisplayPort outputs. Systems requiring dual-GPU configurations or higher total board power than the single Quadro P5000 draws will exceed the thermal and electrical envelope of this workstation.
