DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6338 2.0GHz 32-Core 128GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS H745

PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for dense data-centre deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and 32 cores total. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-3200 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. A PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache manages eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives in the front 2.5-inch bays.

Virtualisation hosts and compute clusters

This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and fast local storage in a single rack unit for virtualisation, cloud infrastructure or dense analytics workloads. The dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management for continuous operation. Buyers who require GPU acceleration for AI training, larger memory footprints beyond 128 GB, or NVMe-only storage arrays should evaluate other platforms.

Dual Xeon Gold 6338 32-core CPU complex

The decisive specification is the paired Xeon Gold 6338 processors delivering 32 cores at 2.0 GHz base clock with 3.2 GHz turbo. This CPU complex determines the server's throughput for multi-threaded applications and virtual machine density. Memory capacity can scale to 1 TB across 16 DDR4 slots, and the H745 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for the SAS drives.
