Intel Core or Xeon Processors: The Precision 3280 provides a choice between high-performance Intel Core processors, which are appropriate for most professional applications, and Intel Xeon processors, which include capabilities like as Error-Correcting Code (ECC) memory support for better dependability in mission-critical scenarios. These CPUs provide sufficient computing capability for sophisticated calculations, simulations, and multitasking.

Memory (RAM): The workstation can store up to 128GB of ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory. ECC memory detects and corrects data corruption automatically, preserving data integrity and system stability—essential for applications such as scientific computations, financial modelling, and large-scale simulations.

NVIDIA or AMD Professional Graphics: Users can select between NVIDIA and AMD professional graphics cards. These GPUs are designed to handle intensive graphics activities including 3D rendering, video editing, and CAD applications. They provide great performance, dependability, and support for numerous displays, ensuring a smooth and effective workflow for creative professionals.

PCIe NVMe SSDs: The Precision 3280 offers high-speed PCIe NVMe solid-state drives (SSDs) for storage. These drives provide faster data access and transfer speeds compared to traditional hard drives, reducing load times and improving overall system responsiveness. Ample storage options ensure users can store large files and projects without running out of space.

Compact Design: The compact design of the Precision 3280 makes it suitable for environments where space is at a premium. Despite its small size, it packs powerful components, ensuring users do not have to compromise on performance.

Thermal Management: The Precision 3280 includes superior thermal management features that keep the system cool and silent even under heavy loads. This ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the components.
