DELL Precision 5820 Tower Workstation Xeon W-2145 3.7GHz 16GB DDR4 500GB NVMe Quadro P2000 Windows 11 Pro

Precision 5820 workstation overview

The Dell Precision 5820 Tower is a mid-tower workstation built around an Intel Xeon W-2145 eight-core processor running at 3.7 GHz with a 4.5 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 16 GB of registered ECC DDR4 2666 memory in two 8 GB modules and a 500 GB M.2 NVMe solid-state drive. An NVIDIA Quadro P2000 graphics card with 5 GB GDDR5 and four DisplayPort outputs drives professional visual workloads. Windows 11 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed for immediate deployment in engineering, design or content-creation environments.

Sustained-load behaviour

A 950 W 80 Plus Gold power supply rated at 90 percent efficiency feeds the Xeon W-2145 and Quadro P2000 during extended render, simulation or compute sessions. The eight-core CPU maintains elevated frequencies across all cores thanks to the tower's thermal design and the high-efficiency PSU. Registered ECC DDR4 2666 memory reduces data errors in long-running calculations while the NVMe drive sustains high throughput for large dataset access. The system supports up to 256 GB across eight DIMM slots for memory-intensive workflows.

Interface practical limits

The Quadro P2000 connects via a 160-bit memory interface using GDDR5, delivering four DisplayPort outputs for multi-monitor configurations without adapters. The 500 GB NVMe SSD operates over a PCIe M.2 interface, providing low-latency storage bandwidth suited to project files and application caching. Gigabit Ethernet is handled by an Intel i219 controller for wired network integration. Eight DDR4 slots and the LGA 2066 socket define the internal expansion ceiling for memory and processor upgrades.
