Product Overview
Dell XPS 8940 is redesigned from the ground up. Powered by up to 10th-gen Intel Core i9 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER graphics, the XPS 8940 can accommodate creative, gaming, and other intensive tasks.
The new XPS Desktop packs amazing performance into an even smaller form factor than previous generations, reducing the volume from 24L to 19L. At the same time, the tool-less chassis sports plenty of expandability options: The 500W power supply can support up to graphics cards that require up to 225W of power, while four storage bays and three expansion slots leave your options open.
Dell also markets the XPS 8940 Special Edition with optionable higher-powered CPUs.

Reviewer score 73% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Dell XPS 8940 is well-positioned to fill the gaming/productivity niche. It runs the latest games at 60+ fps in QHD resolution. The fan didn't get especially loud, a far cry from the Aurora R11's jet engines. It's one of the few systems to still come with a physical media drive.
Pros
- Powerful gaming and productivity performance
- Very quiet
- Lots of ports
Cons
- Loud fan
- Not as powerful as competitors
