48-Core Rack Server for Virtualisation
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualisation, databases and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.10GHz with 18 cores, delivering 48 cores in total. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 memory and supports up to 3TB. Ten 2.5-inch drive bays are available for custom storage configurations.
Sustained Multi-Threaded Throughput
Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs provide a stable 48-core foundation that maintains clock speeds under continuous virtualisation and database loads rather than relying on short turbo bursts. The 128GB DDR4 capacity keeps multiple virtual machines and data-heavy services resident in memory, reducing swap activity during extended runtimes. Integrated X710 and I350 network controllers handle steady traffic flows without adding discrete adapters.
Upgrade From Smaller Rack Units
This server replaces single-socket 1U boxes or older dual-socket platforms that max out below 48 cores and 3TB memory capacity. The jump is worth it when workloads have outgrown the core count or memory ceiling of a previous generation rack server and need room for more concurrent virtual machines. It is not for buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets, or 3.5-inch drive bays.

Questions about this item
How much heat and power do the two Platinum 8160 CPUs generate when the server runs continuously?
Each Platinum 8160 has 18 cores at 2.1 GHz, so the pair delivers 48 cores total; plan cooling and power for a dual-socket 2.1 GHz Xeon workload.
Which drives and rails must I already have to populate the 10-bay chassis?
The 10 bays accept 2.5-inch drives; drives and rack rails are not included, so you supply both.
Will my existing DDR4 modules work alongside the installed 128 GB?
The system uses DDR4 and supports up to 3 TB; match speed and rank to the factory 128 GB for best compatibility.
