DELL Precision T7910 Tower Xeon E5-2660 v4 14C 2GHz 8GB DDR4 1TB SATA NVS 310 512MB 1300W No OS

Dell Precision T7910 Workstation

The Dell Precision T7910 is a tower workstation built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processor with 14 cores running at 2 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a 1 TB 7.2K RPM SATA hard drive. Graphics output is handled by an Nvidia NVS 310 card with 512 MB memory and dual DisplayPort connectors. A 1300 W power supply and DVD-RW drive are included, and no operating system is installed.

Suited for CPU-intensive tasks.

This system suits users who need many CPU threads for rendering, simulation or virtualisation and can add memory up to the 1 TB supported across 16 DIMM slots. The integrated LSI SAS 3008 controller and Intel SATA ports allow up to eight 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA/SAS drives plus four M.2 PCIe SSDs. Buyers who need high 3D performance, multiple high-end graphics cards or a pre-installed operating system should look elsewhere.

Single Xeon E5-2660 v4 limits maximum memory

With only one processor installed, the quad-channel memory architecture operates at half its potential bandwidth and the maximum supported memory is lower than the dual-CPU configuration. The LGA 2011-3 socket allows a second matching Xeon to be added later if the workload grows. Verify that your applications benefit from 14 cores at 2 GHz before committing to this specific CPU.
