Processor
Global Standard Products (GSP) are a subset of Dell’s relationship products that are managed for availability and synchronized transitions
on a worldwide basis. They ensure the same platform is available for purchase globally. This allows customers to reduce the number of
congurations managed on a worldwide basis, thereby reducing their costs. They also enable companies to implement global IT standards
by locking in specic product congurations worldwide. The following GSP processors identied below will be made available to Dell
customers.
NOTE: Processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor availability is subject to change and may vary by region/
country.
