Dell ECT1250 Tower Desktop

The Dell ECT1250 is a new tower desktop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor with 24 cores and 36MB of L3 cache. It ships with 32GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory and a 1TB PCIe NVMe solid-state drive. Windows 11 Home is pre-installed and a wired keyboard and mouse are included in the box.

24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 285K

The single specification that determines fit is the 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor running at 3.7GHz with turbo up to 5.70GHz and an integrated AI Boost NPU. This CPU targets workloads that benefit from high core counts and on-device AI acceleration. Buyers who need discrete graphics performance for gaming or GPU compute should look elsewhere because the system relies on Intel UHD Graphics only.

Thermals, noise and power

The tower chassis measures 324.3mm high, 154mm wide and 293mm deep with a weight of 5.45kg, providing internal airflow for the 24-core processor and integrated graphics under normal business and education loads. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 alongside Gigabit Ethernet, while front and rear ports supply USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C, USB 3.2 Type-A, USB 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 for display output.

Questions about this item

How does the 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 285K behave in everyday workloads?

The 24-core processor runs at 3.7 GHz base with turbo up to 5.70 GHz and 36 MB L3 cache, so multi-threaded tasks such as compiling, rendering or running several VMs stay responsive while single-thread bursts hit the higher clock.

What does the HDMI 2.1 output actually support on the integrated Intel UHD Graphics?

The rear HDMI 2.1 port can drive a 4K display at up to 60 Hz from the integrated graphics; higher refresh rates or HDR metadata depend on the monitor and cable used.

Will the tower fit on a standard 600 mm deep desk shelf?

The chassis measures 324 mm high, 154 mm wide and 293 mm deep, so it fits comfortably on a 600 mm shelf with room for cables behind it.
