OptiPlex 740 - Power Efficiency
Through intuitive design and performance-driven technology, Dell OptiPlex
desktops deliver outstanding capabilities in the most efficient design possible.
In addition, we pack every system with business-relevant features built on
direct feedback from customers just like you. The result? Higher productivity
and greater effectiveness, across the board.
Superior Power Efficiency and Performance
The latest dual-core technology improves performance while consuming less power than
previous-generation processor technology (single- or dual-core). With next-generation
OptiPlex systems, you’ll continue to enjoy enhanced multitasking with the power to run
multiple and multi-threaded applications — all with industry-leading power efficiency.
Up to 70% energy savings vs. previous generation OptiPlex platforms
Up to 11% performance increase with dual core processors vs. single core
Dell Energy Saver — Going above and beyond
OptiPlex desktops take power management to the next level with power settings that exceed
government regulations. That means your system will consume even less power than the
government allows — helping conserve the earth’s resources as well as your bottom line.
Get ENERGY STAR® compliance out of the factory, meeting all regulatory
requirements
Maximize power management — The BIOS is pre-set to go into sleep state at 15
minutes of inactivity (vs. ENERGY STAR specs of 30 minutes)
Energy Efficient Power Factor Correcting (PFC) Power Supplies - High efficiency
power supplies designed to reduce wasted power in the PC and power grid. These
power supplies use power more efficiently and require less line current. This saves
energy costs and reduces the likelihood of power draws which may trip an electrical
breaker. (When compared to some "consumer" PC power supplies, line current may
be reduced 12% or more)
Optimize system-level power consumption through intelligent CPU technologies —
AMD Cool’n’Quiet™ Technology balances power usage with application demands on
the processor
