Dual 20-Core Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a new rackmount server system built around two Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.70GHz with 20 cores, delivering 48 cores in total for demanding business workloads. Integrated graphics handle basic display output while the H740P storage controller manages drive arrays. The unit ships with a front bezel and eight 2.5-inch drive trays ready for your chosen storage.

Suited For

This configuration targets organisations running virtualisation, databases, file storage or application hosting where 384GB of DDR4 memory and twin 20-core CPUs provide the needed throughput. Buyers needing more than eight drive bays or a GPU for compute acceleration should look at other platforms. The server arrives without an operating system or drives, so IT teams must supply both before deployment.

Critical Spec

The installed 384GB of DDR4 memory sets the immediate capacity for virtual machines and data-heavy applications. While the platform supports up to 3TB, the current DIMM population decides whether the server meets your workload requirements today or requires additional modules before going live.

Questions about this item

When will the 384GB DDR4 memory need to be expanded?

The system supports up to 3TB of DDR4, so the installed 384GB can be increased later as workloads grow.

What limits sustained performance of the dual Xeon 8168 processors?

The 20 cores per processor running at 2.70GHz set the compute ceiling for continuous workloads.

How much heat and noise does the 1U chassis produce under all-day load?

The compact 1U rackmount design with integrated GPU relies on internal fans to cool both CPUs and the H740P controller during extended operation.
