Dense Compute Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a dual-socket 1U rack server built for scale-out data centre workloads. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors at 2.1 GHz provide 24 cores each, and 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills all 24 slots.

Suited And Unsuitable Workloads

This server suits teams that need maximum core density and fast local storage in a single rack unit. Buyers who require more drive bays, GPU acceleration or a different processor generation should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding Specification

The installed 768 GB DDR4 2666 MHz memory across 24 slots is the single figure that determines whether this configuration matches the application footprint; the chassis supports up to 3 TB total capacity.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.1 GHz base clock mean when both Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs are installed?

Each of the two processors runs at 2.1 GHz base with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency, giving 24 cores per socket for multi‑threaded workloads.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit the eight 800 GB SSDs?

The H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with 2 GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass‑through for the installed drives.

Will the 1U chassis fit standard rack rails and power connections?

The server includes ready rails and a front bezel, uses two hot‑swap 750 W platinum power supplies, and occupies a single 1U rack space.
