DELL PowerEdge M640 blade server 2× Xeon Gold 5222 128GB 2× 300GB SAS

Dell PowerEdge M640 blade server

This Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server configured with two Intel Xeon Gold 5222 processors running at 3.80 GHz. It arrives with 128GB of DDR4 SDRAM installed and can accept up to 1TB total. The unit includes a PERC H330 SAS storage controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management.

For density-focused compute clusters

The two-socket, four-core-per-socket layout suits virtualisation hosts and high-frequency workloads that fit inside a half-height form factor. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, larger local storage arrays, or discrete GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual Xeon Gold 5222 at 3.80 GHz

The defining specification is the pair of Gold 5222 CPUs, each with four cores, 16.5 MB cache and a 3.80 GHz clock speed. This frequency and core count determine whether the server matches the performance envelope of the target application.
