Dual Xeon Gold 6152 44-Core Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system supplied new with two Intel Xeon Gold 6152 processors. Together they deliver 44 cores at a base frequency of 2.10 GHz on the LGA 3647 platform. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory and eight 1 TB solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller. It targets businesses that need a dense, ready-to-deploy platform for virtualization, database serving, file storage or application hosting.

Suits virtualization clusters and database nodes

This configuration fits teams that want a balanced compute-to-storage ratio in a single rack unit. The 128 GB memory ceiling and eight-drive bay layout support multiple virtual machines or sizeable data sets without expansion. Buyers who need more than 3 TB of total memory, GPU acceleration, or a larger drive count should look at a different chassis or a higher-density model.

44 cores at 2.10 GHz

The dual 18-core Xeon Gold 6152 arrangement is the specification that defines whether this server matches the workload. If the application scales across 44 threads at this clock speed, the R640 delivers the throughput expected from a mid-range virtualization host.

Questions about this item

How do I install the H730P storage controller and configure the 8x 1TB SSDs in the 2.5-inch bays?

The server ships with the H730P controller pre-installed and the SSDs already mounted in the eight 2.5-inch bays. BIOS and controller firmware are set up at the facility before shipment.

What memory upgrades will this R640 need later if workloads grow beyond 128GB DDR4?

The system supports up to 3TB of DDR4 across its DIMM slots. You can add compatible DDR4 modules later without replacing the existing 128GB.

At what point does the dual Xeon Gold 6152 configuration hit its thermal limit under sustained 44-core load?

The 2.10GHz 18-core processors are cooled by the R640's redundant fan array. Thermal throttling only engages if inlet temperatures exceed Dell's specified operating range.
