Tower desktop for AI-ready productivity

The Dell Tower Plus EBT2250 is a new tower desktop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor with 24 cores and a base frequency of 2.5 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR5 memory at 5600 MHz and a 2 TB NVMe solid-state drive. Windows 11 Home is pre-installed and the system includes a wired keyboard and mouse. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 handles display output through HDMI and Thunderbolt 4 ports.

Sustained load behaviour

The 24-core processor can reach a turbo frequency of 5.6 GHz when thermal headroom allows, while the integrated NPU provides dedicated acceleration for AI workloads via Intel AI Boost. DDR5 memory at 5600 MHz feeds the cores with high bandwidth for multi-threaded tasks such as compilation, rendering or data analysis. The NVMe drive maintains fast sequential throughput during extended read and write sessions without a mechanical bottleneck.

Thermals, noise and power

The tower chassis measures 14.68 inches high, 6.81 inches wide and 16.80 inches deep with a weight of 19.00 lb, providing internal volume for airflow across the CPU and memory. Integrated graphics eliminate a discrete GPU, reducing total system power draw and acoustic output under typical office loads. Wi-Fi 7 and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity are built in without adding active cooling components.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 run when the EBT2250 tower is under load all day?

The 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 285 has a base speed of 2.5 GHz and can boost to 5.6 GHz. The tower chassis measures 372.9 mm high, 173 mm wide and 426.9 mm deep, giving room for airflow around the processor and the 16 GB DDR5 5600 MHz memory.

What display and cable do I need to use the HDMI 2.0 or Thunderbolt 4 video outputs on the EBT2250?

You need a monitor with an HDMI input for the HDMI 2.0 port, or a Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C display input for the Thunderbolt 4 port. Both ports support 4K video output. A compatible cable for the chosen port is also required.

Will my existing USB 2.0 peripherals work with the four rear USB 2.0 Type-A ports on the EBT2250?

Yes. The rear panel provides four USB 2.0 Type-A ports that are backward-compatible with USB 2.0 keyboards, mice, printers and other legacy devices you already own.
