Dell Dishes Up Redesigned Precision Tower Workstations
Dell decided to don its enterprise cap today and introduced its new Precision tower workstation line. The new Dell Precision T1560, T3600, T5600, and T7600 all boast industrial designs with "superb power, dependability, and manageability" and will be available to purchase worldwide starting next month.
More than just an aesthetics change, the new Precision workstations feature Intel microarchitecture and 8-core CPUs, PCI-E Gen. 3 slots, quad-channel memory scalable up to 512GB, up to 600W of graphics and up to four full x16 PCI-E slots, and a wide array of professional graphics solutions from both AMD and Nvidia.
So, what's the difference between the four redesigned models? Straight from the horse's mouth:
