DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4x Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 16-Core 128GB DDR4 8x 2.5" Trays

Mission-critical compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors at 2.6 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo into a 3U rack chassis. Each CPU delivers 16 cores, giving 64 cores total. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 48 slots and supports up to 6 TB maximum capacity.

Suits dense virtualization and database clusters

Organisations running heavy multi-threaded workloads, in-memory databases or large virtualisation farms gain from the four-socket design and high core count. Buyers who need only single-socket performance, fewer than 64 cores or a smaller rack footprint should consider alternative platforms. The eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays leave drive selection open.

Four-socket Xeon Gold 6142 configuration

The defining specification is the factory-installed quartet of Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs, fixing the platform at 64 cores and 128 threads with LGA 3647 sockets. This determines licensing costs, memory scaling across 48 DDR4 slots and the 3U power envelope supplied by dual 1600 W platinum PSUs.
