Dell Technologies is extending its AI infrastructure strategy to the desktop as AI services gain wider adoption. By building a lineup of AI-optimized PCs spanning laptops and workstations, the company aims to support enterprises transitioning to AI-centric workflows.
“At this stage, the key issue in AI is no longer just performance, but security and operational management,” Yoo Sang-mo, president of Dell Technologies Korea, said at a press briefing during Dell Technologies Forum 2026 in Seoul on Aug. 25. “Dell will support companies seeking secure and cost-effective AI solutions through AI PCs and workstations.”
Dell said expanding AI infrastructure will help accelerate enterprise AI transformation. As AI adoption evolves toward agentic systems that can independently assess and execute tasks, devices capable of processing workloads locally—rather than sending data to a centralized cloud—are becoming increasingly important.
“The workplace paradigm itself is changing,” said Chung Jae-wook, a director at Dell Technologies Korea. “Marketers can run image-generation AI on their laptops, while engineers can delegate the review of simulation results to AI agents. AI workloads are moving beyond the cloud and onto users' desks.”
Dell showcased its AI laptop lineup, including the Dell Pro series, along with the Dell Pro Precision 9 high-performance workstations and the Dell Pro Max with GB300. The products are designed to maximize AI productivity in local work environments rather than relying exclusively on cloud-based computing.
The Dell Pro lineup comprises four models: Dell Pro 3, Dell Pro 5, Dell Pro 7 and Dell Pro Premium. Powered by Intel and AMD processors, the systems are designed for enhanced AI performance. The Dell Pro 5 delivers up to 50 TOPS, or trillion operations per second, of AI compute performance.
The Dell Pro Precision 9 is available in T2, T4 and T6 configurations and is designed for complex simulations and large-scale data processing. The Dell Pro Max with GB300 incorporates NVIDIA's GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip and can run large AI models with up to 1 trillion parameters locally. Dell says the system delivers up to 20 petaflops of FP4 performance and 748GB of coherent memory, bringing data center-class AI capabilities to a deskside system.
Dell has also strengthened its defenses against cyber threats. The company said it incorporates multilayered security across product design, development and testing, while adding quantum-resistant security capabilities to prepare for emerging threats.
Dell plans to build on its strength in commercial PCs by expanding its AI-focused product supply. The company also said its business-to-business performance has been improving.
“Revenue from commercial devices reached $13 billion in the last fiscal year, up 18% year over year,” a Dell representative said. “According to IDC, Dell ranked first in South Korea's commercial desktop market when domestic and overseas vendors are combined.”
Orion, executive director of Dell Technologies Korea, said the company's focus areas are beginning to produce tangible results.
“We will continue to drive revenue growth and market expansion,” he said.
At Dell Technologies Forum 2026, the company also outlined its strategy to build an all-in-one AI platform on the foundation of its AI server capabilities. Dell plans to develop infrastructure that ensures business continuity and reliability across hybrid cloud environments.
