DELL Precision T3600 Xeon E5-1605 3.00GHz 8GB DDR3 2TB SATA

Precision T3600 Xeon Workstation

This Dell Precision T3600 tower workstation runs a quad-core Intel Xeon E5-1605 processor at 3.00 GHz on the LGA 2011 platform. It ships with 8 GB of DDR3 memory across four slots and a 2 TB SATA hard drive. No operating system is installed, so the buyer chooses the platform. The unit is supplied new and configured for professional design, engineering and data-heavy tasks.

Suits CAD rendering and legacy Xeon workloads

Professionals who need a certified Xeon platform for older CAD, rendering or engineering applications will find the E5-1605 and DDR3 memory a direct match. Buyers who want more storage than the single 2 TB SATA drive provides, or who require a modern memory standard, should look at a different system. The four memory slots allow future expansion within the DDR3 generation.

Sustained load on quad-core Xeon E5

Under continuous multi-threaded work the four cores maintain the 3.00 GHz base frequency without thermal throttling in the tower chassis. The DDR3 memory bandwidth and SATA drive throughput remain stable during long rendering or simulation sessions. Performance scales with the installed 8 GB capacity; larger datasets will benefit from adding modules to the empty slots.
