‘Dell workstations 155% faster’
These combine to deliver performance gains over previous models of up to 45% on single-threaded applications and up to 155% on multithreaded applications, the company says.
“Customers want higher performance and memory capacity, particularly when running compute-intensive applications or dealing with extremely large or detailed images such as mechanical design and seismic data analysis,” says Ben McDonald, client brand manager, Dell EMEA. “We listened to our customers’ and our application software partners’ needs when we designed these workstations. Our goal was to set a new standard for performance and scalability in an industry-standard professional workstation and we have done just that.”
The memory architecture aims to enable customers who work with large data sets to more easily manipulate and manage workloads and images. The systems double the number of memory channels to four fully buffered dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) and feature a scalable advanced memory design – up to 16 DIMMs via an optional memory riser – for the largest memory configurations, Dell adds.
The graphics capabilities of the Dell Precision 690 and the Dell Precision 490 workstations have also been enhanced for the most demanding visualisation environments, the company continues. The Dell Precision 690-1KW workstation features an optional dual-graphics riser card that combines two nVidia SLI graphics cards for increased performance and visual quality, Dell concludes.
