DELL OptiPlex 7040 SFF i7-6700 3.4GHz 8GB DDR4 256GB SSD desktop PC

Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF Business Desktop

This Dell OptiPlex 7040 Small Form Factor desktop is built for business environments. It runs on an Intel Core i7-6700 quad-core processor at 3.4 GHz with 8 MB L3 cache. The system includes 8 GB DDR4 memory and a 256 GB SSD. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 drives two DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI port.

Suits office tasks; not for multi-monitor legacy

The configuration suits general office productivity, web browsing and multi-monitor arrangements using DisplayPort or HDMI. It does not suit buyers who need VGA or DVI connections for older displays without adapters. The compact chassis limits internal expansion compared with larger towers. Gamers or workstation users needing discrete graphics should look at other systems.

Intel Core i7-6700 with 8 MB L3 cache

The Intel Core i7-6700 processor delivers four cores and 8 MB of L3 cache at 3.4 GHz. This specification determines the performance ceiling for single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads. Buyers who require higher core counts or newer instruction sets must choose a different platform.
