Dell Technologies Unveils World’s Smallest Workstation: The Precision 3280 CFF

In a significant leap forward for workstation design, Dell Technologies has announced the launch of the Precision 3280 Compact Form Factor (CFF), the world’s smallest workstation. This new offering is designed to provide unparalleled performance and security in environments where space is at a premium.

The Precision 3280 CFF is a testament to Dell’s commitment to innovation, packing extraordinary power into a compact form that redefines the boundaries of workstation capabilities. With cutting-edge Intel® Core™ i9 processors, NVIDIA RTX™ 4000 Ada graphics, and up to 64GB of DDR5 memory, this workstation is engineered to handle the most demanding tasks across various industries, including media, entertainment, engineering, and design.

Despite its diminutive size, the Precision 3280 CFF offers impressive storage options, supporting up to 8TB of RAID-capable storage. This makes it ideal for professionals who require robust computing power and ample storage, but must also consider space constraints, such as those working in edge computing environments or data centers.
Security is a key feature of the Precision 3280 CFF, with Dell incorporating its most advanced security measures to date.

The workstation is equipped with off-host BIOS and firmware verification, lockable chassis with intrusion detection, and self-encrypting drives. These features are designed to protect sensitive data and ensure that workflows remain uninterrupted, even in the most secure environments.

In addition to its performance and security features, the Precision 3280 CFF is also a model of sustainability. Dell has achieved EPEAT Gold Climate+ designation for this workstation, which is constructed with 58% recycled plastic. This demonstrates Dell’s ongoing commitment to reducing its environmental impact while delivering high-performance solutions.

The Precision 3280 CFF is further enhanced by Dell Optimizer for Precision, an AI-based software that learns and adapts to user behaviour. This software optimizes application speed, power efficiency, and network performance, ensuring that the workstation operates at peak efficiency, tailored to the needs of the user.

For those in industries where performance cannot be compromised, but space is at a premium, the Precision 3280 CFF is poised to become the workstation of choice. Dell Technologies continues to push the envelope in delivering innovative solutions that empower professionals to achieve more, no matter the constraints of their environment.

The Dell Precision 3280 CFF is now available for order from $1,577.44 with GST through Dell Technologies’ website and authorized partners.

This new workstation is set to transform how professionals work, offering a blend of power, security, and sustainability in a compact package that has never been seen before.
