Dell First to Ship Next-Generation Workstation Models
ROUND ROCK, Texas (Business Wire EON) November 27, 2007 --
Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) today introduced two new models of its Dell Precision™
workstations, the world’s top-selling line of
professional workstations for the past eight years.1
Available today with prices starting at approximately $1,600 and $1,850
respectively, the Dell
Precision T5400 and the Dell
Precision T7400 provide the highest levels of performance and
expandability available in a Dell workstation.
Dell will be the first tier-one vendor to ship workstations with the
latest Quad-Core and Dual-Core Intel® Xeon®
processors 5400 and 5200 series, using Intel’s
latest 45-nm manufacturing process.
“Workstation customers rely on specialized
applications and demand maximum performance from their systems,”
said Antonio Julio, director worldwide marketing, Dell Precision
workstations. “These systems have some of the
fastest Intel processors, high-end OpenGL graphics and massive
scalability and memory capacities. In fact, we’ve
designed configurations with an industry-leading 1600MHz front-side bus
to help provide screaming performance.”
Dell simplifies workstation implementation and deployment by designing
and certifying its platforms with more than 25 independent software
vendors, supporting more than 60 applications and services. This gives
professional workstation customers true “peace
of mind” when running high-performance
applications in fields that include engineering, digital content
creation, scientific, finance and software development.
Key Features
-
A dual-socket design supports up to two next-generation multi-core
Intel Xeon processors. Dell offers some of the fastest Intel Xeon
processors available, up to 3.2GHz. Multiple processor cores can
increase application performance dramatically in multi-threaded and
multi-tasking environments.

The T5400/7400 uses a dual independent front-side bus design –
up to 1333MHz on the T5400 and up to 1600MHz on the T7400 –
to provide a fast data path between processors, memory and chipset,
benefiting memory bandwidth-intensive applications.
-
Both models use a fully buffered DIMM architecture with up to 800MHz
front-side bus on the T7400, which will also support up to 128GB of
system memory when 8GB DIMMs become available.

Dell-engineered acoustic improvements make these systems up to 33
percent quieter than their predecessors.
