DELL PowerEdge R650 1U 10 Bay 2.5" 2x Xeon Gold 6338 32 Core 1TB DDR4 H755 10x 600GB SAS

Dense 1U server for virtualised workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors running at 2.0 GHz base and 3.2 GHz turbo, providing 32 cores per socket. It ships with 1 TB of DDR4 3200 MHz registered ECC memory across 32 DIMM slots and a PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache and battery backup. Ten 600 GB 10 K SAS 12 Gb/s 2.5-inch drives are installed in the front bays.

Suits dense virtualisation and database tiers.

This configuration targets organisations consolidating virtual machines, running memory-intensive databases or deploying private cloud stacks where core count and fast local storage matter. The dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise simplify fleet management. Buyers needing GPU acceleration for AI training or workloads that demand more than ten front-accessible drives should evaluate other platforms.

32 cores per socket at 2.0 GHz base frequency

The two Xeon Gold 6338 CPUs deliver 32 cores each at a 2.0 GHz base clock with 3.2 GHz turbo, setting the compute ceiling for every workload on this chassis. All other specifications scale around this processor choice.
