DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6338 2.0GHz 32 Core 512GB DDR4 H745

Dense 1U compute node

This Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.0 GHz with 16 cores, totalling 32 cores across the system. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz registered ECC memory and a PERC H745 RAID controller. The chassis includes eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays and dual 1400 W power supplies.

Virtualisation hosts and dense analytics

The 32-core configuration and half-terabyte of memory suit virtualisation clusters, container platforms and high-throughput analytics that demand high core density in a single rack unit. Buyers who need more storage bays, GPU acceleration, or NVMe-only drive support should evaluate alternative chassis designs. The fixed 1U height also limits PCIe expansion compared with taller servers.

Dual-socket 32-core ceiling

The server supports a maximum of two processors, so the installed pair of 16-core Xeon Gold 6338 chips already reaches the platform’s core limit. Future CPU upgrades can only swap to different LGA 4189 models within the same two-socket constraint. Memory capacity can still grow to 1 TB using the remaining DIMM slots.
