DELL PowerEdge MX760C Half Width Blade 2x Gold 6438Y+ 2.0GHz 32C 128GB 4x 480GB SATA SSD

Half-Width Blade for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge MX760C is a half-width blade server designed for high-density rack environments. It carries two Intel Gold 6438Y+ processors, each with 32 cores running at 2.0GHz, and 128GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16GB modules. This configuration targets virtualisation clusters and database workloads that benefit from core count and memory capacity within a compact form factor.

Sustained Load with Dual 32-Core CPUs

Under continuous demand the twin 32-core processors maintain a 2.0GHz base frequency across all 64 threads. The 60MB cache per socket helps keep working sets close to the cores during extended calculation or transaction processing. Memory runs at 4800 MT/s, feeding data steadily to both sockets without the throttling seen in short-burst benchmarks.

SATA SSD Limits and Fabric Expansion

The four installed 480GB SATA SSDs connect through the H755 MX controller, capping sequential throughput at the SATA interface ceiling. Two empty 2.5-inch bays remain for additional drives, but the interface remains the bottleneck. Network I/O uses a single Marvell FastLinQ 41262 mezzanine card delivering two 25Gb links, while Fabric A, B and C switch bays are not included and must be sourced separately for full chassis connectivity.
