DELL PowerEdge R640 8B 2x Xeon Silver 4114 128GB DDR4 H740P

Dual Xeon Silver 4114 server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors, each running at 2.20GHz with ten cores. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 ECC Registered memory and a PERC H740P RAID controller with 8GB cache. It is suited for IT teams deploying private clouds or high-availability clusters.

20 cores and 40 threads total

The dual-processor configuration delivers a combined twenty cores and forty threads at a 2.20GHz base frequency. This core count is the primary factor for sizing virtual-machine density and database concurrency. Both CPU sockets are populated, so the server cannot accept additional processors. Buyers needing higher single-thread frequency or more than twenty cores should evaluate other platforms.

128GB DDR4 scalable to 1.5TB

The installed 128GB of DDR4 ECC Registered memory supports multiple services and virtual machines out of the box. Memory capacity can be expanded up to 1.5TB using the available DIMM slots for larger datasets. Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays with included trays provide flexible storage, though drives are not supplied. The H740P controller manages SAS arrays for redundancy and performance.
