Dense 1U dual-socket compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for scale-out data-center workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors provide 40 total cores at 2.4 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4-2666 registered ECC memory across four modules.

Suits dense virtualization and database clusters

This configuration targets environments that need high core density and fast storage I/O in a single rack unit. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 for the two included 300 GB 10K SAS drives. Buyers who need more internal drive bays or larger installed capacity should look at a different chassis.

Dual Xeon Gold 6148 20-core CPUs define throughput

The pair of 20-core processors delivers 40 threads at 2.4 GHz base frequency, setting the performance ceiling for compute-heavy tasks. Memory can expand to 3 TB across 24 DDR4 slots when workloads grow. The quad-port X520/I350 network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2.5-inch 300 GB 10 K SAS drives or add larger SAS or SATA drives later?

The server ships with two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives; the eight 2.5-inch bays and the H730P controller accept any mix of SAS or SATA drives up to the bay count.

What does the 3.7 GHz turbo speed mean when both 20-core Xeon Gold 6148 processors are under load?

Each 20-core CPU has a 2.4 GHz base clock and can reach 3.7 GHz turbo on active cores, giving up to 40 threads at elevated frequency when thermals allow.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS H730P controller limit real-world drive throughput?

The PERC H730P runs at 12 Gb/s per SAS lane and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so sequential throughput is capped by the drive media and the 12 Gb/s link.
