DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U 2x Xeon Gold 6330 2.0GHz 28 Core 128GB DDR4 8x 1.8TB SAS

Dense compute in 1U

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs packs two Intel Xeon Gold 6330 processors and 128GB of DDR4 memory into a single rack unit, delivering high core density for virtualization and database workloads. Eight 1.8TB SAS drives sit behind a PERC H745 RAID controller with 4GB cache, while a quad-port 1GbE OCP card and iDRAC9 Enterprise handle connectivity and remote management. Dual 1400W platinum supplies and included rails complete a ready-to-rack platform.

Suited for dense virtualization.

This configuration targets environments that need maximum CPU threads and redundant SAS storage in minimal rack space, such as hypervisor clusters or ERP databases. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, front-access NVMe bays, or 10GbE and faster networking should look at alternative chassis because the current spec omits those features. The fixed 1U height also limits PCIe expansion compared with taller servers.

28-core Gold 6330 CPUs set the performance ceiling

Each installed processor runs 28 cores at a 2.0GHz base frequency with a 3.1GHz turbo boost, defining the maximum parallel throughput available for containerised workloads or heavy multithreaded applications. The 128GB DDR4-2933 memory and 12Gb/s SAS subsystem are sized around this CPU choice, so the Gold 6330 core count and clock speed are the primary factor when deciding whether this server matches a given workload.
