DELL PowerEdge R640 8B SFF 48-Core Rack Server 2x Xeon 8160 2.1GHz 256GB DDR4 H730P

Dell PowerEdge R640 8-Bay Rack Server

This Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system designed for business workloads including virtualization, databases, and application hosting. It arrives with dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors providing 48 total cores at 2.1GHz and 256GB of DDR4 memory installed. The configuration includes a PERC H730P storage controller, rack rails, and front bezel for immediate deployment. Storage drives are not included, allowing custom capacity selection.

Virtualization and database teams needing dense

The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and 256GB DDR4 memory suit organisations running multiple virtual machines or data-heavy applications. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, larger memory footprints beyond the 3TB maximum, or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms. The integrated graphics and single LGA3647 socket design per processor limit specialised compute or expansion-heavy deployments.

48-core dual Xeon Platinum 8160 configuration

Two Platinum 8160 CPUs each deliver 14 cores at 2.10GHz, totalling 48 cores across the system for parallel workloads. The DDR4 memory fills 256GB of the 3TB maximum capacity supported across the memory slots. This core count and clock speed combination determines whether the server matches the throughput requirements of the intended virtualization or database layer.
