DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2x Xeon 8160 2.1GHz 24C 512GB DDR4 8x 400GB SSD H730P

Dual-socket 1U rack server for scale-out density

The Dell PowerEdge R640 fits two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors in a single rack unit, delivering 24 cores per CPU at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 slots and a PERC H730P controller managing eight 400 GB SATA SSDs.

Suited for compute-dense clusters needing maximum

This configuration targets workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity in minimal space, such as virtualization hosts, HPC nodes or database tiers. Buyers who need more storage bays, GPU acceleration or a different processor generation should evaluate alternative platforms.

Two Xeon 8160 CPUs with 24 cores each decide the fit

The installed processor count is already at the chassis maximum of two sockets, so core count cannot be increased without replacing the server. If the workload demands higher single-thread frequency, more memory channels per socket or a newer microarchitecture, this specific R640 build will not meet those requirements.
