DELL PowerEdge R640 44-Core Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6152 512GB DDR4 8x 1TB SSD

Dual-socket Xeon virtualisation server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 44-core rackmount system built for business workloads such as virtualisation, databases, file storage and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6152 processors each run at 2.10GHz with 12 cores, giving 44 cores total across the platform. The chassis uses eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 1TB SSDs and an H730P storage controller. It ships without an operating system.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

The 512GB DDR4 memory configuration supports many simultaneous virtual machines and data-heavy services without swapping. Dual Xeon Gold 6152 CPUs maintain steady clock speeds under continuous load, while the H730P controller manages RAID arrays for consistent storage latency. Integrated graphics handle basic display output so no discrete GPU is required for headless operation. The 60 weight figure indicates a dense 1U package suited to rack rows with adequate airflow.

Rack integration and common issues

The 1U rackmount form factor slides into standard cabinets, though rail kits are not confirmed in the listing. Eight front-accessible 2.5-inch bays simplify drive replacement, and the H730P controller eases initial array creation. Buyers who need more than 512GB of memory must source additional DDR4 modules separately up to the 3TB maximum. The unit arrives without an OS, so installation media and licences must be prepared in advance. Stock photos may not match the exact configuration received.
