Dual Xeon Gold 6330 1U server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6330 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 28 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 960 GB SATA solid-state drives. The system includes a PERC H745 RAID controller, quad-port 1 GbE networking, iDRAC9 Enterprise management, and dual 1400 W platinum power supplies.

Virtualisation hosts and dense compute clusters

This configuration suits teams running virtualisation, container platforms, or dense compute clusters that benefit from 56 total cores and high core-count licensing models. The eight drive bays and hardware RAID support mixed read-write workloads. Buyers needing GPU acceleration, NVMe-only storage, or single-thread frequency above 3.1 GHz turbo should evaluate other platforms.

28 cores per socket at 2.0 GHz base

Each Gold 6330 delivers 28 cores at a 2.0 GHz base clock with 3.1 GHz maximum turbo. This core density drives throughput for multi-threaded services and licensed software priced per socket. Workloads tied to higher base frequencies or lower core counts will not match this profile.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 1 TB maximum?

The system arrives with 256 GB (eight 32 GB modules) of DDR4-2933 registered ECC. Sixteen DIMM slots exist, so you can expand later if workloads demand more than the installed 256 GB.

What does the 2.0 GHz base clock with 3.1 GHz turbo mean for real-world throughput on the dual Xeon Gold 6330 CPUs?

Each Gold 6330 provides 28 cores at 2.0 GHz base, boosting to 3.1 GHz under load. With two sockets installed, 56 cores share the 3200 MT/s memory bus, so heavily threaded tasks scale across all cores while single-thread bursts reach the higher turbo frequency.

How does the PERC H745 controller with its 4 GB NV cache affect the eight 960 GB SATA SSDs?

The H745 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Its 4 GB non-volatile cache accelerates write-heavy workloads on the SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs, and the battery backs cached data during power loss.
