Four-Socket 3U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for multi-threaded workloads. Four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 64 cores at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo. 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory is installed across 24 modules. Eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller provide the storage foundation.

Suits High-Core Applications.

This configuration targets databases, virtualisation clusters and analytics that scale across four sockets and 48 memory slots. The 6 TB maximum memory ceiling supports large in-memory datasets. Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise simplify fleet management. Buyers who need a single-socket platform, fewer than 16 cores per CPU, or a tower form factor should look elsewhere.

64 Cores Across Four LGA 3647 Sockets

The defining specification is the quad-socket design populated with four 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, yielding 64 physical cores in one chassis. This core count drives licensing costs, memory-channel bandwidth and parallel throughput. If the workload cannot use 64 cores or the software licence model penalises high socket counts, a different server layout will be more economical.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1.2 TB SAS drives or a larger capacity for the 8-bay R940?

The server ships with eight 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives; each bay accepts 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives so you can add larger drives later if more space is needed.

What does the 2.1 GHz base clock mean when all four Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs are under load?

Each of the four 16-core processors runs at 2.1 GHz base and can boost to 3.7 GHz, giving 64 total cores for heavy multi-threaded workloads.

How does the PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS controller limit real-world drive speed?

The H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so drive throughput is capped at the controller's 12 Gb/s link.
