Dell Precision Workstations Deliver High-Performance Computing With New Standards-Based Core Architecture.ROUND ROCK, Texas -- Breakthrough Technologies Help Clear Performance Bottlenecks to Address Complex Application Requirements Dell (Nasdaq:DELL), the world's leading supplier of workstations(a), today introduced two Dell Precision Dell Precision is a line of workstation computers produced by Dell, Inc.. Current Dell Precision Desktop Models
The Dell Precision 470 and 670 also debut new processor technology that brings customers the power of 64-bit computing with the ability to efficiently run all of today's 32-bit applications. "Our customers are realizing the benefits of a dramatic inflection point Inflection Point An event that changes the way we think and act. -Andy Grove, Founder of Intel. Notes: For example, the fall of the Berlin Wall was an inflection point in global politics and the commercialization of the Internet was an inflection point in technology. in workstation performance technologies," said Paul Gottsegen, vice president of marketing in Dell's product group. "The new Dell Precision workstations are at the forefront of an innovative architecture designed to deliver more performance to drive advanced applications farther than ever." Smart 64-Bit Computing, Latest High-Performance Technology Powered by the new Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processors with Extended Memory 64-bit Technology, the dual processor-capable Dell Precision 470 and 670 workstations enable more performance-intensive design applications to manipulate larger, more complex visual models in sharp detail by breaking past the 4GB memory barrier of today's systems and accessing up to 16GB of memory. The platforms' compatibility with legacy 32-bit applications will allow customers to deploy a 64-bit operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. and still run 32-bit applications across their entire enterprise. In addition to 64-bit computing, the new Dell Precision systems integrate a full suite of new technologies that deliver more performance and headroom head·room n. 1.

The new platforms include DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory 2, the next generation memory architecture and PCI-Express, an efficient serial I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output architecture. DDR2 optimizes the desktop architecture by satisfying the increased demands of faster processors, graphics and I/O subsystems. PCI-Express can quadruple quad·ru·ple adj. 1.

"The availability of new technologies such as Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64 Technology) The first name of Intel's 64-bit x86 CPUs. In 2006, the name of the technology was changed to "Intel 64." See Intel 64. , PCI-Express and DDR2 mark a redesign of core architectures, replacing legacy sub-systems that have reached their performance ceiling," said Sarang Ghatpande, lead analyst for industry standard computing platforms at D.H. Brown. "These technologies offer the architectural basis and a flexible path to support 64-bit computing in the enterprise." Engineered for Professional Environments The Dell Precision 470 and 670 workstations are specifically engineered to deliver power, scalability and flexible form factors for a variety of workstation environments. For example, patented acoustic technologies deliver a nearly silent, office-ready solution capable of server-class performance. The Dell Precision 670 delivers performance and scalability for workstation users who require maximum graphics, storage and peripherals expansion, while the Dell Precision 470 mirrors the performance capabilities of the 670, but in a smaller, "rackable" chassis designed for space-constrained environments, such as financial trading desks Trading Desk A desk where transactions for buying and selling securities occur. Trading desks can be found in most organizations (banks, finance companies, etc.) involved in trading investment instruments such as equities, fixed-income securities, futures, commodities and foreign or clustering applications. Additional Technical Specifications of the Dell Precision 470 and 670 --Dual-processor capable Intel(R) Xeon(TM) architecture (up to 3.6GHz) with support for Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology --PCI Express workstation-class graphics card offerings --More scalable DDR2 RAM (chipset supports up to 16GB) --SATA (470/670) and SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. (670) with support for RAID to help break storage bottlenecks (up to 800GB solutions) --Available with Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) XP Pro (32-bit) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux (often abbreviated to RHEL) is a Linux distribution produced by Red Hat and targeted toward the commercial market, including mainframes. Red Hat commits to supporting each version of RHEL for 7 years after its release. (32-bit & 64-bit) The Dell Precision 670 starts at $1,699 and the Dell Precision 470 starts at $1,399.
