DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-core 64GB DDR4

Dense Scale-Out Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a dual-socket 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. A PERC H730P 2 GB controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with battery-backed RAID support.

Dual-Socket Density Fit

This configuration suits operators who need high core counts in a single rack unit with redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and integrated remote management via iDRAC9 Enterprise. The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports SAS hard drives, and the installed 300 GB 10K drives deliver fast local storage. Buyers who require more than 24 DIMM slots or a taller chassis for additional expansion cards should evaluate other form factors.

Memory Ceiling Decides

The platform supports a maximum memory capacity of 3 TB across 24 DDR4 slots, so the 64 GB installed today leaves substantial headroom for growth. If your workloads demand memory beyond that 3 TB limit, this server will not meet the requirement. The LGA 3647 socket and Intel C620 chipset define the processor compatibility boundary for any future upgrades.
