Compact 1U Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rackmount server built for dense compute environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 32 cores total. The chassis includes 128 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz registered ECC memory and a PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache. Eight 1.92 TB SATA SSDs and dual 1400 W platinum power supplies are installed.
Virtualisation and Cloud Workloads
This configuration suits teams deploying virtualisation, cloud infrastructure or high-performance computing in limited rack space. The front 2.5-inch drive bays and OCP 3.0 networking slot support flexible storage and 10 GbE connectivity. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or more than two processor sockets should look at larger platforms. The fixed 1U height also rules out full-height add-in cards.
32-Core Dual Processor Core Count
The decisive specification is the paired Xeon Gold 6338 CPUs providing 32 physical cores at 2.0 GHz base frequency with 3.2 GHz turbo. This core density drives licence costs and parallel throughput for hypervisor hosts and database nodes. Memory scales to 1 TB across 16 DDR4 slots if the workload grows. The LGA 4189 socket and H745 controller lock the platform to this generation and RAID feature set.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the two Xeon Gold 6338 processors are running at their 3.2GHz turbo speed under load?
Check CPU frequency in the iDRAC9 Enterprise dashboard or run a stress test while monitoring core clocks through the operating system; both processors should reach 3.2GHz turbo when thermal and power headroom allow.
Which components come installed and which must be sourced separately for this R650xs configuration?
The server ships with 2x Xeon Gold 6338 CPUs, 128GB DDR4 3200MHz ECC RDIMMs, 8x 1.92TB SATA SSDs, PERC H745 RAID controller with 4GB cache, Broadcom 57412 dual 10GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2x 1400W platinum PSUs, ready rails and front bezel; no additional parts are required for basic operation.
Should I choose this 8-bay 2.5-inch model or a different drive-count version for my workload?
This 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis is the only version described in the listing; it provides eight SATA SSD slots filled with 1.92TB drives and the PERC H745 controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so select it if that bay count and drive type match your capacity and redundancy needs.
