DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2× Xeon Gold 6244 3.6 GHz 32 GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF dual Xeon 3.6 GHz

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Xeon Gold 6244 processors running at 3.6 GHz. It arrives with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays support SATA storage, and a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter handles network traffic. Dual 750 W supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Suits compute-dense workloads.

This configuration targets virtualization hosts, database nodes, and high-frequency compute tasks that benefit from the Gold 6244's 3.6 GHz base clock. The installed 32 GB DDR4 and eight-bay chassis limit immediate memory capacity and drive count. Buyers who need larger memory footprints or more drive bays should look at a different chassis or add DIMMs and storage separately.

3.6 GHz base clock on Gold 6244

The Xeon Gold 6244 runs at a fixed 3.6 GHz base frequency across its eight cores. That clock speed is the primary factor for single-thread performance and licensing models tied to core frequency. If your workloads rely on sustained high frequency rather than core count, this processor matches the requirement; otherwise a lower-clocked, higher-core alternative may be more efficient.
