DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2× Xeon Platinum 8160 2.1GHz 24-core 512GB DDR4 H730P 8× 1.2TB SAS

Dual-socket 1U compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. It combines two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache.

Suits high-thread workloads, not single-thread focus

This configuration serves environments that need maximum core density and memory capacity in a single rack unit. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or large-capacity flash storage should evaluate alternative platforms. The eight 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives and quad-port 1 GbE plus 10 Gb SFP+ networking support typical scale-out traffic patterns.

24-core Xeon Platinum 8160 at 2.1 GHz

Each of the two installed CPUs delivers 24 cores at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo ceiling. This core count and clock profile determines whether the server matches the throughput requirements of the target application. The LGA 3647 socket and C620 chipset support the full two-processor maximum.
