Dell PowerEdge R640 8B SFF 28-Core Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6132 2.6GHz 256GB DDR4 H730P

Rackmount virtualization server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 2U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, backups and application hosting. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors and 256GB of DDR4 memory installed. The configuration includes an H730P storage controller, rack rails and a front bezel for a rack-ready deployment.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

With two 6-core Xeon CPUs running at 2.60GHz, the system delivers 28 total cores for continuous multi-threaded processing across virtual machines and data-heavy applications. The integrated GPU handles basic display output without adding discrete graphics overhead. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow storage arrays to be built around the H730P controller for consistent I/O performance.

DDR4 memory ceiling

Maximum supported memory capacity reaches 3TB across DDR4 slots, defining the upper limit for dense virtualization or in-memory database workloads. The LGA2066 socket platform supports no more than two processors, so the installed dual-CPU configuration already uses the full socket count. Buyers needing higher single-thread frequency or GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms.
