DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2x Xeon 4316 2.3GHz 20-core 256GB DDR4 10x 600GB SAS H745 57412 2x 1400W

Compact 1U Server for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for environments where rack space is at a premium. It arrives with two Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors running at 2.3 GHz, each providing 20 cores for a total of 40 threads. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight DIMM slots. Ten 2.5-inch 600 GB 10K SAS drives are pre-installed behind a PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the package.

Suited for Virtualisation and Cloud Nodes

This configuration fits virtualisation clusters, cloud infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes that demand high core density in a single rack unit. The 10-drive SAS array and hardware RAID support provide local storage performance for databases or caching tiers. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training should look elsewhere, as the 1U chassis does not accommodate full-height accelerators. Organisations requiring larger memory footprints per socket or NVMe-only storage pools will need a different platform.

Dual 20-Core Xeon 4316 Processors

The defining specification is the pair of Intel Xeon Silver 4316 CPUs, each delivering 20 cores at a 2.3 GHz base frequency with 3.4 GHz turbo. This yields 40 physical cores in a 1U form factor, directly determining the server's capacity for concurrent virtual machines, container density and parallel workload throughput. The LGA 4189 socket limits upgrades to compatible 3rd Generation Xeon Scalable processors only.
