DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4x Xeon 8160 2.1GHz 24-core 768GB DDR4

Four-socket Xeon 8160 server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors into a 3U rack chassis. Each CPU runs at 2.10 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 modules.

Suits memory-heavy workloads in limited rack space

This server targets organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a 3U footprint. The 48 DIMM slots support up to 6 TB of DDR4 for in-memory databases or virtualisation density. Buyers who require installed storage drives or GPU acceleration should look elsewhere, as the unit ships with empty 2.5-inch trays and no GPU provisioning.

48 DDR4 slots define the memory ceiling

The 48 registered ECC slots set the hard limit for memory expansion. With 24 slots already populated by 32 GB modules, further upgrades must use identical DDR4 RDIMMs to maintain compatibility and reach the 6 TB maximum.
