Dell is arguably one of the first companies out there that recognized the unique needs of creators. In fact, they were one of the only ones to acknowledge the unique demands for a portable solution for creators before the market started shifting towards it.
This year, the Dell Precision series is getting refreshes that pack even more power in a redesigned body. The mobile workstations in the Precision line up are shedding the pounds while upping the ante when it comes to raw power.
Dell Precision 3000 Series Workstations
The new Dell Precision 3000 series workstations are packing more power in a slimmer chassis. Dell’s Precision line up is spearheaded by the refreshed Precision 3440 SFF and the Precision 3640 Tower. Both of these workhorses come packed with options ranging from the 10th generation Intel Core i3 to the Intel Xeon processors. With up to 10 cores, 20MHz of cache and 5.2 GHz of processing speed, the Precision Workstations are built for heavy duty work.
Being built for complex compute, design and animation tasks, the Dell Precision workstations come with configurations supporting high end graphics cards. These graphics cards include the NVIDIA Quadro RTX series, the AMD Radeon Pro series. For workloads that don’t require that much graphical prowess, the workstations also support configurations with the NVIDIA Quadro P1000 and AMD Radeon Pro WX32000.
Of course, processors aren’t the only thing that’s supped up on the Precision workstations, the new Precision 3000 workstations come with options for self encrypting drives as well as M.2 SSDs for fast performance. The Dell Precision 3640 Tower has support for up to two M.2 PCIe SSD on motherboard slot and up to three 3.5” SATA or four 2.5” SATA drives. It also supports Intel Ready Mode technology and an additional PCIe SSD on Dell Precision Ultra-Speed drive (x8) with active cooling. While the Precision 3440 SFF supports up to two M.2 PCIe SSD on motherboard slot and Up to (1) 3.5” SATA or two 2.5” SATA. It also supports Intel Ready Mode technology and an additional PCIe SSD on
Dell Precision Ultra-Speed drive (x8) with active cooling.

Dell Precision Mobile Workstations
Dell’s Precision mobile workstations are built for creators on the go. They are spec’d to support large compute workloads on the go and come with new cooling technology built for a new generation of work. The new generation of Precision mobile workstations are slimmer and lighter than before.
Spearheading the new generation of Precision Mobile Workstations is the 17-inch Dell Precision 7750. However, the star of the precision line up is its younger, slimmer sibling the Dell Precision 5750. Dell is lauding the 5750 as the world’s first thin and light workstation. Wthe 5750 comes in at 8.67mm at its thinnest point and 13.15mm at its thickest. It’s body is only 374.48mm by 248.08mm and weighs only 2.13kg.
