Lenovo Legion T530 vs. Dell Precision 3930 Rack Workstation

The Lenovo Legion T530 and the Dell Precision 3930 Rack Workstation were released in the same year, 2018. The Lenovo Legion T530 has a full-tower form factor that can accommodate a large motherboard, multiple graphics cards, extra storage, and better cooling solution. The Dell Precision 3930 Rack Workstation has a rack form factor.

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 Lenovo Legion T530, you have options to configure it with a 65W 8th Generation Intel Coffee Lake quad-core Intel Core i3-8100 up to a 65W 8-core Intel Core i9-9900 with a boost speed up to 5.00 GHz.

While Dell Precision 3930 Rack Workstation has configurations with a 65W 8th Generation Intel Coffee Lake quad-core Intel Core i3-8100 up to a 95W 8-core Intel Xeon E-2288G with a boost speed up to 5.00 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 Lenovo Legion T530 has two RAM slots that support up to 32GB of 2666MHz dual-channel DDR4 memory. On the other hand, the Dell Precision 3930 Rack Workstation has four RAM slots that you can upgrade up to 128GB of 2666Hz ECC or non-ECC 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 8 USB ports available on the Lenovo Legion T530, four more than the Dell Precision 3930 Rack Workstation that has only 4 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 Lenovo Legion T530 has seven USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-C port. It has two ports that support USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), four ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), and two ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps).

For Dell Precision 3930 Rack Workstation, it has one USB Type-A port and three USB Type-C ports. The PC has one port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) and three ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps).
