Dell Optiplex 5080 Micro vs. Lenovo Legion T5 (AMD)
The Dell Optiplex 5080 Micro and the Lenovo Legion T5 (AMD) were released in the same year, 2020. The Dell Optiplex 5080 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 Legion T5 (AMD) has a full-tower form factor that can accommodate a large motherboard, multiple graphics cards, extra storage, and better cooling solution.
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 5080 Micro, you have options to configure it with a 35W 10th Generation Intel Comet Lake dual-core Intel Pentium Gold G6400T up to a 35W 8-core Intel Core i7-10700T with a boost speed up to 4.50 GHz.
While Lenovo Legion T5 (AMD) has configurations with a 65W AMD Zen 3 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 5600G up to a 105W 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 3950X with a boost speed up to 4.70 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.
Fortunately, both PC allows you to upgrade later if you are unsatisfied with the amount of memory on your PC. The Dell Optiplex 5080 Micro has two RAM slots that support up to 64GB of 2933MHz dual-channel DDR4 memory. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion T5 (AMD) has four RAM slots that you can upgrade up to 64GB of 3200MHz or 128GB 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 5080 Micro, one less than the Lenovo Legion T5 (AMD) 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 5080 Micro has five USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-C port. It has five ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) and one port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps).
For Lenovo Legion T5 (AMD), it has six USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-C port. The PC has two ports that support USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), four ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), and one port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps).
