DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6330 2.0GHz 28-core 256GB DDR4 10x 2.5" trays H745

Dell PowerEdge R650xs 1U server

This Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for dense compute environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6330 processors, each running at 2.0GHz with 28 cores. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H745 RAID controller with 4GB NV cache. Ten 2.5-inch drive trays support SATA and SAS devices.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing core density

This server suits teams running virtualisation clusters or cloud infrastructure where core count and memory bandwidth matter. The dual 28-core CPUs and 256GB DDR4 handle heavy multi-threaded workloads. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training should look elsewhere because this configuration has no GPU. Organisations requiring NVMe boot or cache drives cannot use the front bays, which only accept SATA and SAS media.

Dual 28-core Xeon Gold 6330 at 2.0GHz

The defining specification is the pair of Intel Xeon Gold 6330 processors delivering 56 total cores at a 2.0GHz base frequency with 3.1GHz turbo. This core density drives throughput for database, virtualisation and HPC tasks. The LGA 4189 socket and DDR4-2933 memory subsystem are fixed by this CPU choice. Confirm your software licensing and memory expansion plans align with this processor configuration before purchase.
