DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 12-core 64GB DDR4 10x 960GB SSD H745 2x 1400W

PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for dense data-centre deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors, each running at 3.0 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 memory and ten 960 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H745 RAID controller. Dual 1400 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are standard.

Suited for virtualization and dense compute

This configuration suits teams that need high core counts and all-flash storage in a single rack unit. The ten drive bays and hardware RAID support make it practical for database clusters or virtualisation hosts. Buyers who require GPU acceleration for AI training should look elsewhere, as the 1U chassis does not accommodate add-in cards. Organisations needing more than 1 TB of RAM or additional CPU sockets will also need a different platform.

Dual Xeon Gold 5317 at 3.0 GHz

The defining specification is the pair of Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors, each providing 12 cores at a 3.0 GHz base clock. This fixed CPU choice determines the server's peak compute throughput and memory-channel count. If the workload demands higher per-core frequencies, greater core counts per socket, or a different instruction-set feature set, this server will not match those requirements.
