Some expectation-tempering might be in order here, as it's only a SATA drive rather than an even faster NVMe SSD, and capacity is just 256GB: not a lot at all when it's the only storage drive in the whole system.
However, whereas the cheaper Optiplex 5060 models only included a sluggish mechanical hard disk, the Optiplex 7060 Micro gets a speed boost with M.2 SATA SSDs as standard - even in this base model. It's just unfortunate that a seemingly minor downgrade to a T-series chip can cut performance as much as it does. It's a shame, as these results would usually be considered decent enough for a sub-600 system - and it's true that you won't have problems with everyday applications like browsers and Microsoft Office. Geekbench 4 told a similar story, as the Optiplex 7060 Micro scored 4,143 in the single-core test and 15,344 in the multicore test - down from 5,018 and 19,383 on the Optiplex 5060. Its overall score of 109 marks it as a step back from the Optiplex 5060, the faster clock speeds of which secured it 156. In the more intensive video encoding and multitasking tests, however, it fell well behind, scoring 138 and 87 respectively. Oddly, (not that we're complaining), the Optiplex 7060 Micro still comfortably competed with the Optiplex 5060 in our 4K benchmark suite's image editing test, with a respectable score of 117. Unfortunately, the price of meeting the T-series' demands for lower power and heat proves steep: clock speeds drop from the standard Core i5-8500's 3GHz base and 4.1GHz boost speed to a 2.1GHz base and 3.5GHz boost.
8GB of RAM is enough for non-workstation desktop duties, too. We initially had high hopes for this CPU: it's a six-core chip, which normally means formidable multitasking potential, and we've seen from the Optiplex 5060 just how much performance can be squeezed out of a regular Core i5-8500. Dell Optiplex 7060 Micro review: Hardware and performanceĭell sent us the second-lowest spec for the Optiplex 7060 Micro, which comes equipped with an Intel Core i5-8500T, 8GB of DDR4 RAM and a 256GB SSD. Still, the internal layout is as sensible as it could be for such a tightly-packed PC.īehind the plastic front panel is a single forward-firing speaker, though as is so often the case with integrated speakers, it sounds too muddled for anything more audibly complex than a voice or video call. Some parts are easier to add (or swap) than others - for example, the empty 2.5in tray is instantly accessible, but to add more SO-DIMM RAM sticks you'll need to remove the entire cooling system first. Simply loosen the thumbscrew at the back, and the left side panel slides off, taking the front panel cover with it. Like one of its many predecessors, the Optiplex 5060, it's easy to open.
