Rackmount server for virtualization workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server designed for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors and 128GB of DDR4 memory installed. The chassis includes eight 2.5-inch drive bays, an H730P storage controller, rack rails and a front bezel for a complete rack-ready configuration.

48 total cores across two Platinum 8268 CPUs

Each Xeon Platinum 8268 processor provides 14 cores running at a base frequency of 2.9GHz, delivering 28 cores per socket and 48 cores in total. The LGA3647 platform supports a maximum of two processors, which are already populated in this unit. This core count determines how many concurrent virtual machines or threads the system can handle effectively.

Sustained performance

The system relies on integrated graphics and 128GB of DDR4 memory, expandable to a 3TB maximum capacity, to maintain steady throughput for memory-intensive services. With both CPU sockets filled, thermal output is consistent under continuous load, making the platform suited for always-on business applications rather than burst-oriented tasks. Drives are not included, allowing storage to be tailored to workload demands.
