Dell Precision 7670 workstation review: Core i7-12850HX and CAMM RAM debut

The Precision 7000 series is home to Dell's flagship mobile workstations in contrast to the midrange Precision 5000 series or budget Precision 3000 series. The Precision 7670 is the first 16-inch model in the family sitting in between the 15.6-inch Precision 7560 and 17.3-inch Precision 7760. Confusingly, Dell is producing two variants of the Precision 7670 called the "Performance base" and "Thin base". This specific review is on the "Thin base" variant with the "Performance base" review to come at a later date.
Options are very wide ranging from the Core i5-12600HX to the i9-12950HX, Iris Xe graphics up to the discrete Nvidia RTX A5500, FHD IPS to 4K OLED display, and even SODIMM or CAMM RAM up to 128 GB. Our specific review unit is a midrange configuration with the i7-12850HX, 95 W RTX A2000, and 4K OLED touchscreen for approximately $4100 USD.
There are unfortunately no Xeon or ECC RAM options for the Precision 7670 at the moment, but vPro is supported on all SKUs.
There are few direct competitors at the moment as the 16-inch workstation space is still relatively new. Current alternatives include the Asus ProArt StudioBook Pro 16, Lenovo ThinkPad P1 G4, and the HP ZBook Fury 16.

Case — Classic Precision Look And Feel
Chassis design and materials closely match the 2020 Precision 7550. The black keyboard deck, for example, is still slightly rubberized for a premium feel while the outer metal skeleton remains thick for stronger first impressions than the ThinkPad P1 G4 or Asus ProArt StudioBook. Applying pressure on the keyboard center or outer lid will warp their surfaces slightly more than on an HP ZBook Studio, but we can otherwise notice no creaking or major weak spots.
The Precision 7670 is still relatively large and weighty despite our test unit being the "Thin base" version. At 24.7 mm thick, the system is thicker than the Asus ProArt StudioBook 16 and just a hair thinner than the HP ZBook Fury 15 G8. It's also much heavier by several hundred grams each due in part to the larger 16-inch 16:10 form factor.
The "Performance base" is about 3 mm thicker and at least 70 g heavier than the "Thin base" depending on the configuration.
Connectivity — Thunderbolt 4 But No PD-In
Port options are excellent especially since there are more USB ports than on most other workstations. Many of the ports are along the left edge while the ports on the right edge are rather close to the front. Note that the RJ-45 port only supports speeds of up to 1 Gbps instead of 10 Gbps.
SD Card Reader
Transfer rates with the spring-loaded SD reader are as fast as on the Precision 7550 or over 2x faster than on the HP ZBook Fury G8. Moving 1 GB of pictures from our UHS-II card to desktop takes only 5 to 6 seconds.

Communication
An Intel AX211 comes standard for Wi-Fi 6E connectivity and optional Bluetooth. Unfortunately, Wi-Fi 6E is not necessarily faster than Wi-Fi 6 in many situations. Transfer rates appear to vary much more on our Precision 7670 when compared to most other workstations even when only one to two meters away from our 6 GHz access point.

Webcam
The 2 MP webcam is an upgrade from the 1 MP webcams on most XPS systems. It still pales in comparison to the 5 MP cameras on most of the newest HP laptops, however.
Both IR and a shutter are included for Windows Hello support and privacy, respectively.

Maintenance — Easy Access
The bottom panel is secured by 6 Philips screws for easy servicing. Users have access to two M.2 PCIe4 x4 2280 slots, WAN slot, Nano-SIM slot, and either SODIMM or CAMM slots depending on the configuration. The WLAN module is not removable.
Certain configurations can house up to three M.2 SSDs as exemplified by the third M.2 slot near the edge of the battery.
More information on CAMM RAM can be found on our preview page here.
Accessories and Warranty
There are no extras in the box other than the AC adapter and paperwork. A three-year limited manufacturer warranty comes standard if purchased directly from Dell.
Input Devices — Large Clickpad With A Comfortable Keyboard
Keyboard
Key layout and feedback haven't changed from the Precision 7550. We find the keys to be slightly louder than the keys on the XPS series but with both stronger feedback and deeper travel. However, the arrow keys are still cramped unlike the larger arrow keys on the ThinkPad P1 G4 or Asus ProArt StudioBook.
Touchpad
The clickpad is larger than the one on the Precision 7550 (11.5 x 8 cm vs. 10 x 6.5 cm). There are no more dedicated mouse buttons, however, and so the user experience is closer to a traditional Ultrabook than to a business-centric ThinkPad or ZBook where mouse buttons are still prominent. We personally prefer dedicated buttons as drag-and-drop actions are made easier, but the lack of buttons has resulted in a larger clickpad surface area which others may appreciate.
Display — No 120 Hz Options
Dell offers three display options as of this writing:
- 1200p, 60 Hz, 60 percent sRGB, 250 nits, non-touch
- 1200p, 60 Hz, 99 percent DCI-P3, 500 nits, non-touch, IPS
- 2400p, 60 Hz, 100 percent DCI-P3, 400 nits, touch, OLED
Our independent measurements below reflect only the bold option above. If accurate colors are important for your workloads, then we highly recommend avoiding the base 250-nit option as its color reproduction is as poor as many budget consumer laptops. Owners should become familiar with Dell PremierColor software for adjusting the color profile of the display.
Though we're able to confirm the full DCI-P3 coverage of the OLED panel with our own X-Rite colorimeter, the maximum brightness of the screen is only about 340 nits compared to the advertised 400 nits even after disabling automatic brightness control. This makes our display dimmer than on most other workstations where a brightness of 450-nit or greater is common.

Nowhere in any of Dell's advertisements or materials do they mention a pre-calibrated display at factory. Grayscale and colors are still reasonably accurate on our OLED panel nonetheless with average deltaE values of only 3.5 and 2.5, respectively.

This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.7 ms). |
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 59.5 Hz | ≤ 100 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 59.5 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 59.5 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 8627 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |
Flickering is present on all brightness levels much like on most other OLED panels. We're able to detect a frequency of 250 Hz from 1 to 56 percent brightness and 59.5 Hz from 57 percent brightness to maximum.
There is heavy glare despite the fact that this is technically an "anti-glare" display. The backlight is not bright enough for comfortable viewing in most outdoors scenarios unless if you happen to be under shade. If outdoor visibility is important, then we recommend checking out the HP ZBook Fury 15 G8 which has a display that's almost two times as bright as our Precision unit.
Performance — Intel vPro For All
Testing Conditions
We set our unit to Ultra Performance mode via the Dell Optimizer software and the GPU to discrete mode via the Nvidia Control Panel prior to running any benchmarks below. Annoyingly, the power profile can be tuned through Windows, Dell Optimizer, or Dell Power Manager which can make things very confusing. We recommend enabling power profile synchronization between the three different applications through Optimizer as shown by the screenshot below.
Processor
On paper, the Core i7-12850HX shares similar clock rates, core count, and cache sizes as the i7-12800HX but with added vPro support. In reality, however, their performances can vary quite significantly.
CPU performance is closer to the Core i7-12800H than it is to the Core i7-12800HX. In fact, multi-thread performance is about 30 percent slower than the i7-12800HX as found on the MSI GE67 HX due to its more capable cooling solution. Even so, performance is still one of the fastest when compared to other workstations as many are still running on 11th gen Intel CPUs.
Turbo Boost sustainability could have been better. When running CineBench R15 xT in a loop, performance would drop by as much as 25 percent after two or three repetitions which would help explain the wide performance deficit against the Core i7-12800HX mentioned above.

GPU Performance — 95 W TGP Graphics
The RTX A2000 is derived from the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti and so both GPUs share similar raw performance numbers. Upgrading to the RTX A3000 or RTX A5500 option is expected to boost performance by 15 to 20 percent and 70 to 90 percent, respectively.
Interestingly, ray-tracing Port Royal performance is significantly better than what we recorded on the older Precision 5560 even though they share the same RTX A2000 GPU. We suspect this could be due to both the much higher TGP target (95 W vs. 45 W) and newer Nvidia driver (512.36 vs. 472.12) of our Precision 7670.
