Dell Optiplex 3080 Micro vs. Lenovo ThinkCentre M90a

The Dell Optiplex 3080 Micro and the Lenovo ThinkCentre M90a were released in the same year, 2020. The Dell Optiplex 3080 Micro has a micro form factor that can only fit a custom-designed motherboard with none or one expansion slot and supports only a specific OEM graphics card. The Lenovo ThinkCentre M90a has an all-in-one form factor that combines all components and a built-in monitor into one package.

Processor

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is like the brains of your desktop computer. Its performance determines how fast and responsive your PC is. Generally, a processor with newer architecture, more CPU cores, higher TDP (measured in W), and faster clock speed (measured in GHz) tends to be more expensive and run faster than others with older architecture, fewer CPU cores, lower TDP, and lower clock speed.

For Dell Optiplex 3080 Micro, you have options to configure it with a 35W 10th Generation Intel Comet Lake dual-core Intel Celeron G5900T up to a 35W 8-core Intel Core i7-10700T with a boost speed up to 4.50 GHz.

While Lenovo ThinkCentre M90a has configurations with a 58W 10th Generation Intel Comet Lake dual-core Intel Celeron G5900 up to a 65W 10-core Intel Core i9-10900 with a boost speed up to 5.20 GHz.

Memory

The Random Access Memory or RAM is the super-fast and temporary storage used to handle all active tasks, apps, and games that will go away when your PC turns off. The more memory your PC has, the better multitasking your PC can handle without having to reload data from slower permanent storage that includes the hard disk drive or solid-state drive.

Both PCs have the same amount of two RAM slots meaning that you upgrade later if you are unsatisfied with the amount of memory on your PC. You can upgrade memory on both systems up to 64GB of 2933MHz dual-channel DDR4 memory.

Ports

Computer ports are the interface for connecting your PC to its peripheral devices or other PCs. The most common peripherals are keyboard, mouse, monitor, flash drive, speaker, and printer. Most of them use Universal Serial Bus (USB) as their connection to your computer. So the PC with more USB ports can connect to more peripherals at the same time.

There is a total number of 6 USB ports available on the Dell Optiplex 3080 Micro, one less than the Lenovo ThinkCentre M90a that has 7 USB ports. On top of the number of USB ports, the type and version of each USB port are also necessary for determining how fast it is.

The Dell Optiplex 3080 Micro has six USB ports USB ports that all of them are Type-A port. It has two ports that support USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and four ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps).

For Lenovo ThinkCentre M90a, it has six USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-C port. The PC has five ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) and two ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps).
