Dual Xeon Gold 6150 1U server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 8B is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, backups, and application hosting. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The system includes a H740P RAID controller and quad-port 10GbE plus 1GbE networking. Drives are not included.

36 total cores at 2.7GHz

The server installs two Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs, each with 18 cores running at 2.70GHz, giving 36 cores total. The platform supports a maximum of two processors, so this configuration already reaches the socket limit. This core count and clock speed determine the throughput available for virtual machines, containers, and multi-threaded business applications.

256GB DDR4 with 3TB ceiling

Installed memory is 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs, supporting multiple services and data-heavy applications. The motherboard accepts up to 3TB, leaving headroom for future expansion as workloads grow. Ten 2.5-inch drive trays are provided for storage, but no drives are included, so capacity and drive type must be selected separately.

Questions about this item

How much compute throughput do the dual 18-core Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs at 2.70GHz deliver in a live workload?

The two Gold 6150 processors provide 36 cores running at 2.70GHz, giving strong multi-threaded capacity for virtualization, databases and compute clustering in a 1U rackmount server.

What network speeds do the onboard X540 and I350 controllers actually provide?

The X540 dual-port 10GbE and I350 quad-port 1GbE adapters are integrated, so the system supports up to 10GbE and 1GbE links without extra cards.

Which drive trays come with the 8-bay front section and what size drives do they accept?

Ten 2.5-inch hot-swap trays are supplied; the 8-bay front cage uses eight of them for 2.5-inch SSDs or HDDs.
