Correspondingly, Dell split its home desktop system into two lines (Dell Dimension and XPS), its consumer notebooks were also split into two lines ( Dell Inspiron and XPS). Shortly thereafter, on March 22, 2006, Dell acquired Alienware, a move they had been considering since 2002. Alienware maintained its autonomy in terms of design and marketing, but access to Dell's supply chain management , purchasing power, and economies of scale lowered its operating costs. The new XPS line initially had
440-468: Is 67% smaller than the XPS 410. It does not use full-size PCI slots. The XPS 200 is aimed at being a low-impact machine, meaning that it blends in better with the room's features. Despite the XPS name, it is more of a multimedia computer than an actual gaming machine. The main difference between the XPS 210 and its predecessor, the XPS 200, is the upgrade to the Intel Core 2 Duo processor line. This makes

#1732802085184480-459: Is a PC with performance somewhat between the XPS 420 and 630. Its processor is the Intel Core i7. The current Studio XPS models, however, are not as gamer-oriented, with only one PCIe x16 slot and a 475-watt power supply. It has RAID0/1 support, however, as well as the capability of up to 24 GB of RAM. Later this model was renamed to the Studio XPS 9000, later succeeded by a newer version,
520-492: Is a line of consumer-oriented laptop and desktop computers manufactured by Dell since 1993. In the early 1990s, Dell primarily targeted its products at businesses rather than consumers. In early 1993, Dell executives met to address how to pursue the emerging consumer market in the US (led by Gateway 2000 , later known as Gateway), and decided to launch a new product line to compete with Gateway. At that time, Dell's annual revenue
560-488: Is a type of zero insertion force flip-chip land grid array (LGA) socket for Intel desktop processors which comes in two distinct versions: the first revision which supports both Intel's Skylake and Kaby Lake CPUs, and the second revision which supports Coffee Lake CPUs exclusively. LGA 1151 is designed as a replacement for the LGA 1150 (known as Socket H3 ). LGA 1151 has 1151 protruding pins to make contact with
600-583: Is nearly identical to that of the Dimension E520, with an additional 3.5-inch drive bay being added. The case is physically taller because of this. The power supply is also slightly more powerful than the Dimension E520 (375 W vs 305 W, respectively and has an added six-pin PCIe power cable). The XPS 410 replaced the XPS 400. It was replaced by the XPS 420. XPS 410 units were also sold as the Dimension 9200 in some countries, allowing Dell to continue selling
640-574: The Coffee Lake generation CPUs and comes along with the Intel 300-series chipsets. While physical dimensions remain unchanged, the updated socket reassigns some reserved pins, adding power and ground lines to support the requirements of 6-core and 8-core CPUs. The new socket also relocates the processor detection pin, breaking compatibility with earlier processors and motherboards. As a result, desktop Coffee Lake CPUs are officially not compatible with
680-482: The 100 (original Skylake) and 200 (Kaby Lake) series chipsets. Similarly, 300 series chipsets officially only support Coffee Lake and are not compatible with Skylake and Kaby Lake CPUs. Socket 1151 rev 2 is sometimes also referred to as "1151-2". Like with Kaby Lake chipsets, four additional PCH PCI-E lanes in Coffee Lake chipsets are reserved for implementing an M.2 slot to support Intel Optane Memory. There's

The XPS One 20 has
760-552: The Dell Dimension XPS 466V, was released in 1994. The new product line achieved commercial success, garnering significant media attention. For example, an XPS was featured on the cover of the October 1993 issue of PC/Computing . Between 1997 and 2001, as Dell grew and the market started to evolve, the XPS line lost its leading position in the market. Dell revamped the XPS line in 2005 to compete with Alienware (then
800-570: The Dell XPS 8500 is the first version in this series to have the third-generation ( Ivy Bridge ) Intel Quad Core i5 and i7 processor added to it. This version of the XPS motherboard uses the Intel Chipset H77 with socket LGA 1155 and has USB 3.0 ports built into the front. The "Special Edition" version of this desktop, (starting price $ 999 as of January 2013), comes standard with such advanced features as an Intel Core i7, Blu-ray drive and
