DELL Precision T7810 Workstation 2x Xeon E5-2603 v3 1.6GHz 16GB DDR4 500GB SATA SSD NVS 310 Windows 10 Pro

Dual-socket Xeon workstation tower

The Dell Precision T7810 is a tower workstation built around two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors, each running at 1.6 GHz with six cores. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory at 2133 MHz and a new 500 GB SATA solid-state drive provide the baseline configuration. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed and a 685 W power supply with 90 % efficiency powers the system. An Nvidia NVS 310 graphics card with 512 MB handles display output.

Suited for multi-threaded CPU tasks.

This workstation suits users who need dual-socket Xeon compute power for multi-threaded applications such as rendering, simulation or virtualization. The NVS 310 is an entry-level professional graphics card intended for multi-monitor office productivity, so buyers who need 3D acceleration, GPU compute or high-performance visualisation should look at a different graphics option. The single 500 GB SSD also limits local storage capacity for large datasets.

Dual LGA 2011-3 sockets define upgrade path

The Intel C612 chipset and two LGA 2011-3 sockets are the defining specification; they determine which Xeon v3 processors can be installed and set the maximum memory ceiling at 256 GB across eight DDR4 ECC RDIMM slots. The six SATA ports on the integrated controller and the available PCIe x16 Gen 3 slots then follow from this platform choice.
