DELL Precision T7910 Tower Xeon E5-2660 v4 14C 16GB 500GB NVS 310 desktop PC

Precision T7910 Xeon workstation

This Dell Precision T7910 tower workstation is built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processor with 14 cores. It provides 28 threads through Hyperthreading and includes 16 GB of DDR4 memory. A 500 GB 7.2K SATA drive and an Nvidia NVS 310 graphics card with 512 MB and dual DisplayPort outputs complete the configuration. The 1300 W power supply delivers 90 % efficiency with active power factor correction.

Suits multi-threaded workloads

The system suits users who need many CPU threads for rendering, simulation or virtualisation tasks. The Quad-channel memory architecture with 16 DIMM slots allows expansion up to 1 TB when a second processor is added. Integrated SAS and SATA controllers support up to eight drives with software RAID 0, 1 and 10. Buyers who need a pre-installed operating system or a graphics card certified for modern GPU-accelerated applications should look elsewhere.

LGA 2011-3 single-socket constraint

The motherboard uses an LGA 2011-3 socket and the Intel C612 chipset. Only one processor is installed, so memory bandwidth and PCIe lane count remain at single-socket levels. Adding a second compatible Xeon would unlock the full 2400 MHz quad-channel memory speed and the additional PCIe lanes required for four M.2 PCIe SSDs or a larger GPU. Verify that your workload can operate within the single-socket envelope before purchasing.
