## AI overview

The Dell Pro Precision 9 T4 combines an 86-core Xeon 698X, 256GB of DDR5-6400 ECC memory, and two 96GB RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q GPUs in a tower listed at about $66,600 as configured. The second GPU nearly doubled peak serving throughput across tested models, cut a LoRA epoch from 31.5 to 19.7 minutes, and let MiniMax M2.7--a 129.3GB quantized model--run at 83.7 tokens per second for one user, versus 30.3 with one GPU and the remainder in system memory. Eight-channel memory bandwidth helped the T4 outperform the 96-core Threadripper PRO 9995WX in tested OpenFOAM, GROMACS, and y-cruncher workloads. The 7875 was faster in core-bound compression, rendering, and compilation; the T4's lower per-core performance also showed in Valkey. The review highlights strong cooling and service access, while noting that a single-GPU T4 configuration performs much like other systems using the same 300W card.

## Source excerpt

The Dell Pro Precision 9 T4 is the single-socket tower at the top of Dell's Pro Precision line, and our review unit is configured for local AI at a scale most workstations can't reach. It pairs Intel's 86-core Xeon 698X with 256GB of DDR5-6400 ECC memory, two 300W NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q cards The post Dell Pro Precision 9 T4 Review: 86 Xeon Cores and Two RTX PRO 6000 GPUs for Models Too Big for One Card appeared first on StorageReview.com.
