Dell recently announced its expanded workstation
portfolio
with the most powerful mobile and tower workstations, the Dell Precision M4800,
M6800,T3610, T5610 and T7610, designed to seamlessly run the leading content
creation, engineering, scientific and other professional software applications.Updated with the latest
high-performance, workstation-class processors, graphics, storage, display and
other technologies, the new systems demonstrate Dell’s continued commitment to
delivering unparalleled performance and reliability that creative, engineering and scientific professionals require to quickly develop and realize innovative
ideas.
The
new Dell Precision mobile workstations also deliver the highest performance
with up to 16GB¹ of
1866MHz memory, fourth-generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processor options up to
Core i7 Extreme Edition, and AMD FirePro
and NVIDIA
Quadro professional graphics, with up to 8GB graphics memory¹ on the M6800
configured with NVIDIA Quadro K5100M,for handling
complex 3D work, including rendering and simulation.
Both
systems also provide superb reliability with all-day battery life², including a
secondary slice battery, new AMD Enduro and NVIDIA Optimus,and industry-leading
endpoint security solutions that include comprehensive encryption, advanced
authentication and leading-edge malware protection.
Dell
understands its workstation customers have specific needs for their workflows
so is updating and offering new tools that enable maximum performance and
reliability so they can remain focused on being creative.

Dell Precision Performance Optimizer - DPPO,
the
first automated workstation performance tool that configures settings based on
the software application, will be updated with new profiles
for Siemens NX 8.5 and Dassault Systems CATIA and French and German languages starting September 17 via online and factory install on new workstations
in October.
·
Intel® Xeon
Phi™ co-processor 3120A PCIe card - The Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor is a
new manycore x86-based computational architecture built for high efficiency and
exceptional performance on highly parallel workloads. Offered as a coprocessor
on a PCIe card, it works synergistically with Intel® Xeon® Processors to
deliver accelerated performance on Dell Precision T7610 tower and R7610 rack
workstations.
·
PCIe Solid
State Drives (SSDs)
- Dell is the first to bring Micron PCIe
SSD technology
to the workstation market on its tower and rack workstations starting in
October. The PCIe SSD is one of the highest performance storage options that
merge SSD technology directly with the fast PCIe system communication bus.
·
Intel Cache
Acceleration Software – Workstation (CAS-W) - Dell has deeply collaborated
with Intel to bring to market and tune the first workstation enterprise-grade
storage acceleration software application, Intel CAS-W, which
improves workstation application performance. It is
available exclusively on Dell Precision rack andtower workstations starting in
November.
“Dell Precision workstations with the innovative
Intel Cache Acceleration Software-Workstation give a notable performance boost
to Autodesk applications,” says Maurice Patel, head of Media &
Entertainment Industry Marketing, Autodesk. “We have seen a many-fold increase
in some of our internal tests. As the demand for larger data sets increase with
4K, stereoscopic projection and next generation consoles, the performance
increase will be a great benefit for our 3D animation customers.”
As
part of Dell’s Technology Partner
Program , Dell Precision works with the top Independent Software Vendors (ISV) to test and certify the leading
software applications including Adobe Creative Suite, Autodesk Design & Creation Suites, Dassault
Systems CATIA and Solid Works
and PTC Creo, among many others, for maximum uptime and
productivity.
Additionally, many ISV partners also leverage Dell Precision workstations to
develop and showcase their software capabilities. For example, PTC uses Dell Precision workstations to
power its customer theater with a high-end, three-channel rear-projection
active stereo 3D system with tracking that allows visitors to have a hands-on
experience using PTC software in an immersive virtual reality environment.
