    Processor

    The Dell 7960 Rack Workstation supports single or dual Intel Xeon Scalable 4th Generation (LGA4677) processors for the ultimate performance.

    Hyper-Threading support allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core - recognizing up to 240 total cores on dual processors, 120 real and 120 virtual. Turbo Boost support automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload - so if an application is only using one of the cores it will automatically increase the speed of the core in use and turn off the unused cores.

    The most popular and recommended processor models are offered below. Intel offers a wide range of processors optimized for database and analytics, AI and media processing, cloud environments, networking workloads, and storage. Contact us if your application requires a specific processor model not shown below.
