Precision 7960 Rack Workstation

Overview

The Precision 7960 Rack puts a dual-socket Intel Xeon workstation into a 2U rack chassis, with up to 128 cores and up to 8 TB of DDR5 memory. Seven PCIe Gen4/Gen5 slots take up to two double-width professional graphics cards, eight M.2 NVMe drives handle local storage, and hot-swappable redundant power supplies with iDRAC management make it a data-centre-ready workstation.
