DELL Pro Micro QCM1250 MFF Desktop PC — Intel Core Ultra 9 285, 16GB DDR5, 4TB NVMe

Dell Pro Micro QCM1250 — Intel Core Ultra 9 285

The Dell Pro Micro QCM1250 is a micro form factor desktop built around the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor with 24 cores and a 13 TOPS NPU. It ships with 16GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory and a 4TB PCIe NVMe solid state drive. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed. The chassis measures 36 mm wide, 178 mm deep and 182 mm high, weighing 1.40 kg.

Suited for compact business deployments

This system suits offices that need a small footprint PC with a high core count processor and a dedicated neural processing unit for local AI tasks. The 4TB NVMe drive provides substantial fast storage for large datasets. Buyers who require discrete graphics performance for 3D rendering or gaming should look elsewhere. The integrated Intel Graphics and 16GB of non-upgradable memory also limit intensive creative workloads.

24-core Core Ultra 9 285 with 13 TOPS NPU

The defining specification is the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor, which delivers 24 cores and an integrated NPU rated at 13 TOPS. This combination enables on-device AI acceleration without a discrete graphics card. The processor reaches up to 5.60 GHz turbo frequency and includes 36MB of smart cache. If the workload does not benefit from the NPU or the core count, a lower-tier model would be more cost-effective.
