Dell Precision 5690 workstation review: Ready for the AI revolution

The Precision 5690 succeeds last year's Precision 5680 by replacing the older Raptor Lake-H CPUs with newer Meteor Lake-H ones complete with integrated NPUs. The two models are otherwise identical with the same display and GPU options. We recommend checking out our review on the Precision 5680 to learn more about the XPS 16-inspired physical features of the series.
Our unit in review is the highest-end configuration with the Core Ultra 9 185H vPro CPU, Nvidia 5000 Ada GPU, and 16-inch 2400p OLED touchscreen for approximately $5900 USD. Lesser SKUs start with the Core Ultra 5 135H vPro, integrated Arc graphics only, and 1200p IPS display for only $2300.
Alternatives to the Precision 5690 include other 16-inch workstations like the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 G2, HP ZBook Fury 16 G10, or the MSI CreatorPro Z16P.

Case — Inspired By XPS 16
The keyboard now integrates a dedicated Microsoft Co-Pilot key in place of the right Ctrl key to visually separate the Precision 5690 from the 5680.
Connectivity
Communication
WLAN has been upgraded from the Intel AX211 to the Intel BE200 to support Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. However, the vast majority of users are still limited to Wi-Fi 6E or older networks and so most will not notice any performance benefits for the time being.
Webcam

Maintenance
Display — HDR OLED At 60 Hz
The 2024 model utilizes the same 4K Samsung 160YV03 OLED panel and D3KJF part number as the previous year for no changes to the visual experience. On one hand, this is excellent as the OLED panel comes pre-calibrated with full DCI-P3 colors and touch support. On the other hand, it would have been great to see higher refresh rates with adaptive options as the standard 60 Hz refresh rate is starting to age.
Maximum brightness on SDR and HDR modes can reach 350 nits and 600 nits, respectively.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 60 Hz | ≤ 100 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 60 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 60 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8619 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |
Performance
Testing Conditions
We set Dell Optimizer to Ultra Performance mode prior to running the benchmarks below. We also toggled ECC VRAM off via Nvidia Control Panel. Enabling ECC VRAM reduces accessible memory by about 1 GB.
Processor
The Core Ultra 9 185H performs almost identically to the Core i9-13900H in both single- and multi-threaded workloads. It does benefit more from Turbo Boost for that faster initial burst of speed, but this advantage is only temporary before settling at similar performance levels as the older Core i9 Precision 5680 as shown by the comparison graph below.
Downgrading to the Core Ultra 7 165H and Ultra 5 135H is expected to impact processor performance by 5 to 10 percent and 40 to 50 percent, respectively, meaning that the performance delta is significantly wider between the Core Ultra 5 and Ultra 7 than the Core Ultra 7 and Ultra 9. The Precision 5690 does not include any 14th gen Raptor Lake-HX CPUs which would have boosted performance even faster than the Core Ultra 9 185H. In return, however, the Core Ultra CPUs include integrated NPUs to accelerate local AI tasks when they become more readily available in the near future.

Stress Test
When initiating Prime95 stress, the CPU would boost to 3.7 GHz and 120 W until reaching a core temperature of 100 C just a few seconds later. It would then drop to 3 GHz and 73 W and remain relatively steady throughout. Both core temperature and package power draw would be slightly higher than what we recorded on the Precision 5680.
GPU board power draw when running Witcher 3 would be stable at 72 W even though the GPU is listed as 90 W on Nvidia Control Center. Results are similar to what we recorded on last year's model.
CPU Clock (GHz) | GPU Clock (MHz) | Average CPU Temperature (°C) | Average GPU Temperature (°C) | |
System Idle | -- | -- | 43 | 35 |
Prime95 Stress | 3.0 | -- | 83 | 53 |
Prime95 + FurMark Stress | ~3.0 | ~1680 | 93 | 65 |
Witcher 3 Stress | ~0.6 | 1530 | 75 | 62 |
System Performance
PCMark 10 scores are essentially identical to what we recorded on the Precision 5680 to suggest no major performance differences between the two models when it comes to traditional tasks.
System RAM is slightly faster this year (7467 vs. 6000 MT/s) and this is reflected in the improved AIDA64 benchmark results.

GPU Performance — Up To RTX 5000 Ada
Nvidia GPU options have not changed from yesteryear and so the RTX 5000 Ada continues to be the top-of-the-line option. This GPU is derived from the GeForce RTX 4090 and so it notably includes 16 GB of VRAM instead of 12 GB if configured with the slower RTX 4000 Ada or 3500 Ada. Users have a wide range of RTX Ada GPUs to configure from including the RTX 1000 Ada up to our RTX 5000 Ada configuration.
Power Profile | Graphics Score | Physics Score | Combined Score |
Performance Mode | 29664 | 30416 | 12057 |
Balanced Mode | 29771 (-0%) | 27199 (-11%) | 11770 (-2%) |
Battery Power | 26674 (-10%) | 20268 (-33%) | 9539 (-21%) |
Running on Balanced mode impacts processor performance while graphics performance would remain the same as shown by our Fire Strike results above.
