Dell XPS 9380 System Board

This genuine Dell motherboard serves as a direct replacement for the XPS 13 9380 ultrabook. It integrates an Intel Core i7-8565U quad-core processor with a 1.8 GHz base clock and 4.6 GHz maximum turbo frequency. Sixteen gigabytes of memory are soldered directly onto the board. The part number is 88MRW.

Integrated Component Build

The CPU and RAM are permanently mounted, removing the need for socket installation or memory module seating. This design matches the original ultrabook layout where space is highly constrained. Installation requires transferring existing cooling hardware and reconnecting the board-specific ribbon cables and connectors. No separate memory slots or processor sockets are present on this assembly.

Upgrade From Component Failure

This board replaces a failed or damaged system board in an existing XPS 13 9380 chassis. It restores the original 16 GB memory capacity and i7-8565U processing performance in a single step. The jump is worthwhile when the laptop chassis and display remain functional but the mainboard has developed faults. Buyers needing user-upgradeable memory or a different processor configuration cannot use this fixed-configuration part.
