The fully customizable configuration options deliver the flexibility to tackle virtually any workload, including:  

• The latest Intel® Xeon® processors are an excellent choice for artificial intelligence (AI), with agile performance across a variety of workloads, including machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) inference and training. For customers starting AI workloads, the new Dell Precision tower workstations allow customers to use software optimized to their existing Intel infrastructure.

• NVIDIA Quadro® GP100 also power development and deployment of cognitive technologies like DL and ML applications. Other NVIDIA Pascal GPU options include HBM2 memory, and NVLink technologies results in unprecedented power, performance, and capabilities for professional users to create their most complex designs in computer-aided engineering (CAE) and experience life-like VR environments.

• Radeon™ Pro SSG Graphics with fast HBM2 memory and 2TB¹ of SSD on board allows real-time 8K video editing and playback using high performance computing of massive datasets, and rendering of large projects like never before. Adobe Premiere Pro™ and Adobe After Effects™ currently previews a fully integrated Radeon Pro SSG API solution that enables our creative professionals to exceed many current editing and playback boundaries.

The Dell Precision 7920 Rack is ideal for secure remote workers and delivers the same power and scalability as our highest-performing tower workstation, in a 2U form factor.
