DELL PowerEdge MX760C rack server 2x Gold 6434 3.7GHz 8C 256GB 4x 960GB SATA SSD H755

Half-width blade for dense compute

The DELL PowerEdge MX760C is a half-width blade server built for rack environments that need high core counts in a compact footprint. It ships with two Intel Gold 6434 processors running at 3.7GHz, each delivering 8 cores and 22.5M cache for a total of 16 cores. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules rated at PC5-4800. Four 960GB SATA SSDs are installed and managed by an H755 MX RAID controller.

Upgrade from single-socket or lower-core blades

This configuration replaces single-socket blades or older dual-socket units with fewer cores and less memory bandwidth. The jump is worth it when workloads demand more simultaneous threads and larger in-memory datasets than a 16-core, 256GB platform can supply. The half-width form factor leaves room for a second blade in the same slot, doubling capacity without extra rack units. Buyers who need more than six 2.5-inch drive bays or integrated fabric switches must look elsewhere.

Sustained load on dual Gold 6434 CPUs

Under continuous multi-threaded workloads the dual Gold 6434 processors maintain their 3.7GHz base frequency across all 16 cores, supported by the blade's shared cooling infrastructure. The H755 MX controller sustains write throughput to the four 960GB SATA SSDs without thermal throttling seen in smaller chassis. The MX Marvell FastLinQ 41262 mezzanine card provides 2x 25Gb connectivity that keeps network pipelines full during extended data-intensive runs. iDRAC9 Express enables remote monitoring of temperatures and power draw throughout long operations.
