DELL PowerEdge R640 8x 2.5" 48-Core 2x Xeon Platinum 8268 2.9GHz 256GB DDR4 H730P X710 rack server

Dell PowerEdge R640 48-Core Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 2U rackmount server system designed for business workloads including virtualization, databases, and application hosting. It operates with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors, each providing 24 cores at 2.90GHz for a total of 48 cores. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 memory and an integrated GPU. It ships without an operating system and includes the H730P storage controller, rack rails, and front bezel.

Suited for virtualization

This configuration suits organizations running multiple virtual machines, data-heavy applications, or database workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow flexible storage choices using the H730P controller. Buyers who need GPU-accelerated compute or workloads requiring discrete graphics cards should evaluate other platforms. The integrated GPU limits graphical processing to basic display output only.

48-core Xeon Platinum 8268 processor count

The dual Xeon Platinum 8268 configuration delivers 48 total cores at 2.90GHz, which determines the server's parallel processing capacity for virtualization and multi-threaded applications. Each processor uses the LGA3647 socket and the system supports a maximum of two processors. This core count is the primary factor for sizing virtual machine density and licensing costs. The 256GB DDR4 memory complements the processor capability for memory-intensive workloads.
