Dell Pro Max Tower FCT2250 (Intel Core Ultra 7) Creators PC

Description

Workstation-Grade AI Performance

The Core Ultra 7 265 delivers 20 cores (8 performance + 12 efficiency), 20 threads, and a boost frequency of 5.3 GHz with a 30MB cache and an integrated Intel AI Boost NPU producing up to 13 TOPS — making this a certified AI PC platform. Running on Intel’s Z890/Q870 series chipset with full Intel vPro Enterprise support (when paired with a vPro-capable wireless adapter), it’s engineered for enterprise deployment, remote management via Intel AMT, and sustained high-throughput workloads. The 16GB DDR5-5600 ships in one DIMM slot across a four-slot board, upgradeable to 128GB maximum.

NVIDIA RTX A1000 — Professional GPU Acceleration

The RTX A1000 8GB GDDR6 is an NVIDIA professional workstation GPU based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, featuring hardware ray tracing, DLSS 3, and full support for NVIDIA’s professional driver stack (certified across AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit, and other ISV applications). Unlike consumer GeForce cards, the A1000 delivers ECC memory support, longer driver stability cycles, and is designed for 24/7 professional workloads including 3D modelling, CAD, rendering, and data visualisation. Four mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapters are included in the box.

Exceptional Expandability

The 32L mid-tower chassis provides a level of expandability rarely seen in a prebuilt workstation at this size: one full-height Gen5 PCIe x16 primary GPU slot, one full-height Gen4 x4 PCIe open-end slot, one full-height Gen3 x4 open-end slot, and one half-length Gen3 x4 closed-end slot. Storage expansion includes two M.2 PCIe Gen4 slots, one M.2 PCIe Gen5 slot, and four SATA 3.5″ bays for drives or optical. PSU options run to 360W, 500W, or 1500W — all 80 PLUS Platinum rated — allowing significant GPU upgrades without chassis changes.

Connectivity

Front I/O provides 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C (20Gbps, PowerShare), 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10Gbps), 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5Gbps, PowerShare), 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, a global headset jack, and an optional SD 7.0 Express card slot. The rear adds 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C, 2x USB 2.0 with Smart Power On, 2x DisplayPort 1.4a, Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45), and an optional port slot that can be populated with Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, additional USB-A, 5GbE LAN, or VGA depending on configuration. Additional display output from the RTX A1000 adds four mini-DP ports via included adapters.

Security & Certifications

Security provisions include TPM 2.0, chassis intrusion detection, Kensington lock support, BIOS-level Smart USB Protection, and lockable cable covers. ENERGY STAR certified and EPEAT Gold rated.

💡 The RTX A1000 ships with four mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapters — combined with the two onboard DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, this machine can drive up to six simultaneous displays without additional hardware.

⚠️ The SA-market SKU ships without Thunderbolt 4 as standard — this requires the optional rear port module. Buyers needing Thunderbolt connectivity for docking or high-speed peripherals should confirm module availability at the time of purchase.
