Dual 20-core Xeon Gold 6152 server

This new Dell PowerEdge R640 delivers 44 cores at 2.10 GHz from two Xeon Gold 6152 CPUs on LGA3647 sockets. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730P storage controller installed. The 1U rackmount chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and a front bezel for immediate rack deployment.

Virtualisation and database workloads

The processor and memory combination suits businesses running multiple virtual machines, databases or application hosting on a single node. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or rendering should look elsewhere because the system relies on integrated graphics only.

Maximum 3 TB DDR4 capacity

The platform supports up to 3 TB of DDR4 memory across its DIMM slots, so organisations planning very large in-memory datasets can expand well beyond the factory-installed 256 GB.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 44 cores are active after powering on the R640?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC interface and confirm the processor information shows two Xeon Gold 6152 CPUs with 20 cores each, totalling 44 cores.

The listing says drives are not included — what exactly ships in the box?

The server chassis, two Xeon Gold 6152 processors, 256 GB DDR4 memory, H730P controller, eight 2.5-inch drive trays, front bezel, and power cords.

Should I choose this 256 GB configuration or add more DDR4 for virtualization?

The installed 256 GB DDR4 supports many VMs; the board accepts up to 3 TB, so add modules later if workloads grow.
