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
configurations managed on a worldwide basis, thereby reducing their costs. They also enable companies to implement global IT standards
by locking in specific product configurations worldwide. The following GSP processors identified 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.
