Mission-critical 3U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack-mount server system built for mission-critical applications. Four Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors run at 2.40 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The chassis includes redundant 1600 Watt power supplies, ready rails and a front bezel.

Suits dense virtualisation; not for GPU-heavy AI

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines or running large in-memory databases that benefit from four sockets and 48 memory slots. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or workstations requiring discrete graphics should look at a different platform.

Four-socket Xeon Gold 6148 with 64 GB DDR4

The deciding specification is the four-socket design populated with Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs and 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. This combination sets the performance ceiling for heavily threaded, memory-intensive workloads.
