DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2× Xeon Gold 5122 3.6 GHz 192GB DDR4 2× 4TB SATA

Dual Xeon Gold 5122 Blade

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a two-socket blade server built for dense compute environments. Two Xeon Gold 5122 processors run at 3.6 GHz with four cores each. 192 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the system. A PERC H330 controller manages two 4 TB SATA drives in 2.5 inch bays.

Workload Fit and Limits

This configuration suits virtualization hosts, database nodes and high-frequency compute tasks that benefit from the 3.6 GHz clock speed. The chassis accepts a maximum of two drives, so workloads needing larger local storage arrays cannot be satisfied. Integrated graphics and a single 10 GbE two-port adapter limit GPU acceleration and high-density networking.

Deciding Specification

The dual Xeon Gold 5122 CPU complex delivers 3.6 GHz base frequency across eight total cores with 16.5 MB cache per processor. This clock speed is the primary factor for latency-sensitive single-thread performance. Buyers should verify that the core count and memory capacity match their licensing and workload requirements before deployment.
