Precision 3280 Compact Workstation

Overview

The Precision 3280 Compact is the world’s smallest workstation that supports Tensor Core GPUs. In a compact form factor chassis it pairs 14th Gen Intel Core vPro processors with up to NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada graphics, up to 64 GB of DDR5 memory and up to 8 TB of RAID-capable storage, so it fits constrained workspaces, edge locations and racks where a tower will not go.
