The Optiplex 3020 Micro takes a fairly minimal approach to storage. The new HD Graphics have DirectX 11.1 support, too, alongside OpenGL 4, Shader Model 5, and OpenCL 1.2. The Core i3-4150T's 1.15GHz version of 4400 will get most of this benefit. However, whilst 4000 can be around 2.5 times faster than 3000, 4400 is more like a 30 per cent improvement over 4000. Whilst 3000 has 12 execution units, and 4000 moves up to 20.
The processor also supplies the graphics in the shape of Intel HD Graphics 4400, which is a small step up from the HD Graphics 4000 of Ivy Bridge, but not the huge leap between that and HD Graphics 3000 found in Sandy Bridge. The Core i3 is partnered with 4GB of 1,600MHz DDR3 SDRAM, which is the bare minimum these days, and there is no option for more. The Core i3 is a dual-core processor, and unlike the Pentium supports Hyper-Threading, allowing the two physical cores to present themselves as four virtual ones, for enhanced processing of parallel tasks. This is a low-power 34W version of the 4150, so runs at 3GHz rather than 3.5GHz, and no Turbo Boost mode is available to provide a lift when required. The Core i3 in question is a 4150T from the fourth Haswell generation. Our sample came with the more expensive latter. There are also only two processor choices - Intel Pentium and Intel Core i3.
#DELL OPTIPLEX 3020 MOTHERBOARD SPECS PLUS#
There are VESA mounting options too, plus an all-in-one mount and a console including a DVD rewriter. It's designed to sit flat on your desk, or an optional stand can be used to stand it vertically. Measuring just 18.2cm along its longest edge, and weighing a paltry 1.28kg, the Micro is much smaller than the Minitower and Small Form Factor versions of the 3020. The Dell Optiplex 3020 Micro's name is a little confusing, because there are actually two larger Optiplex 3020 models only the word Micro denotes the rather different specification of this system. The Dell Optiplex 3020 Micro is almost a notebook without a screen, but if you want a tiny no-nonsense system that will be almost invisible on a desk, or even fitted underneath, there is plenty to commend it. Using some of the same components, desktops can be made a lot smaller too, or even designed to fit behind a screen for an all-in-one system. The miniaturization of components for the benefit of notebooks has had a knock-on effect for desktops.
