DELL PowerEdge R940 3U 8-Bay 4x Xeon 8160 2.1GHz 24C 128GB DDR4 H730P 8x 2.4TB

Mission-critical 3U server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for mission-critical applications and real-time decision workloads. Four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors each run at 2.1GHz with 24 cores. The system ships with 128GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules.

Fits four-socket density, not smaller builds

This configuration suits organisations that need maximum compute density in a 3U footprint with four-socket scaling. Buyers who require only one or two processors, or who need a tower form factor, should look at smaller platforms. The installed memory uses DDR4 technology; sites standardised on other memory generations cannot reuse existing DIMMs.

Four-socket Xeon 8160 core count

The defining specification is the four-socket design populated with Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs, each providing 24 cores at 2.1GHz base frequency. This determines whether the total core count and memory capacity match the workload requirements.
