Four-socket Xeon Gold 6130 platform

This Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives in the 2.5-inch bays.

Suited for dense multi-threaded workloads

The four-socket design and 64 total cores fit virtualization clusters, large databases and in-memory analytics that scale across many threads. Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise support continuous operation. Buyers needing GPU acceleration, single-thread frequencies above 3.7 GHz or more than 48 DIMM slots should evaluate other platforms.

6 TB maximum memory capacity

The Intel C620 chipset supports up to 6 TB of DDR4 across 48 slots, so the installed 256 GB leaves substantial headroom for future growth. This ceiling determines whether the chassis can accommodate the dataset size your application requires over its service life.
