DELL PowerEdge R640 10B 48-Core 2x Xeon 8160 2.1GHz 256GB DDR4 10x 1TB SATA

Dense Virtualisation Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for dense compute workloads. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 48 cores at 2.1GHz, supported by 256GB of DDR4 memory. Ten 2.5-inch bays hold 1TB SATA SSDs for operating systems, applications and virtual machines. Integrated graphics and X540/I350 networking complete the platform.

Ideal for Consolidation, Not for GPU Work

This system suits IT teams consolidating virtual machines, databases or backup targets in a standard rack. Buyers who need dedicated graphics acceleration, more than two processor sockets, or storage interfaces beyond SATA should evaluate alternative platforms. The fixed 10-bay chassis also limits internal drive expansion beyond the installed devices.

48 Cores at 2.1GHz Decide Fit

The dual Xeon Platinum 8160 configuration provides 48 cores running at 2.1GHz, which is the primary determinant for licensing, threading capacity and per-core performance. Memory scales to 3TB DDR4 if workloads grow, but the processor count is capped at two. Match this core count and clock to your virtualisation density or database licensing model before purchase.
