DELL PowerEdge R640 2x Xeon Gold 6132 512GB DDR4 2x 1TB SSD 4x 1.2TB HDD rack server

Dual-socket Xeon server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors running at 2.60GHz and 20 cores each. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory and a mixed storage array of two 1TB SSDs plus four 1.2TB hard drives. The platform targets businesses that need dense compute for virtual machines, databases, or application hosting.

Sustained multi-core throughput with mixed storage

Under continuous load both CPUs maintain their base frequency across all 40 combined cores, keeping virtualization hosts and database engines responsive. The SSD pair handles low-latency OS and active data tiers while the four 1.2TB drives absorb sequential writes, backups, and bulk datasets without throttling the memory subsystem.

Maximum 3TB DDR4 ceiling for future growth

The installed 512GB occupies only a fraction of the 3TB DDR4 limit supported by the dual-socket architecture. Organizations planning heavier consolidation can add memory later without replacing the server. Buyers who need more than 3TB of RAM or GPU-accelerated workloads will require a different platform.
