DELL PowerEdge R650xs Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4314 2.4GHz 16 Core 64GB DDR4 8x 1.8TB SAS

Dell PowerEdge R650xs 1U Rack Server

This Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4314 processors running at 2.4GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory and a Dell PERC H745 RAID controller with 4GB NV cache. Eight 1.8TB 10K SAS drives and a quad-port 1GbE OCP 3.0 network card are installed.

Suits virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits buyers who need high core count and redundant power in a single rack unit for virtualisation or cloud workloads. The 64GB memory capacity and SAS storage array support mixed read-write patterns typical of hypervisor environments. Buyers who want more storage bays, GPU acceleration or NVMe boot drives should look at other platforms.

Dual Xeon Silver 4314 16-core processors decide fit

The two Silver 4314 CPUs provide 32 total cores at 2.4GHz base and 3.4GHz turbo, setting the performance ceiling for this server. Workloads that scale across many threads will benefit, while single-threaded applications will not see higher frequencies. The LGA 4189 socket and DDR4 memory limit future upgrades to compatible 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors only.
