Processors
The following table lists the details of the processors supported by your OptiPlex 3000 Tower.
NOTE : Global Standard Products (GSP) are a subset of Dell’s relationship products that are managed for availability and synchronized transitions on a worldwide basis. They ensure the same platform is available for purchase globally. This allows customers to reduce the number of configurations managed on a worldwide basis, thereby reducing their costs. They also enable companies to implement global IT standards by locking in specific product configurations worldwide.
Device Guard (DG) and Credential Guard (CG) are the new security features that are only available on Windows today.
Device Guard is a combination of enterprise-related hardware and software security features that, when configured together, will lock a device down so that it can only run trusted applications. If it is not a trusted application, it cannot run.
Credential Guard uses virtualization-based security to isolate secrets (credentials) so that only privileged system software can access them. Unauthorized access to these secrets can lead to credential theft attacks. Credential Guard prevents these attacks by protecting NTLM password hashes and Kerberos Ticket Granting Tickets.
NOTE : Processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor
availability is subject to change and may vary by
region/country.
