DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for dense compute workloads. It ships with one Intel Gold 6148 processor running at 2.4GHz with 20 cores and 27.5M cache. Memory is 32GB DDR4 in two 16GB PC4-2666 modules. Storage includes two 800GB SAS SSDs on an H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots.

Who this suits and who it does not

This server suits teams needing high core count and 10Gb networking in a 2U form factor. The single processor leaves a second socket empty for future expansion. Buyers who want more storage capacity than two 800GB drives provide should look elsewhere. The unit includes 1100W redundant power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, rails, bezel and power cords.

Deciding specification: 20-core Gold 6148 CPU

The installed Intel Gold 6148 delivers 20 cores at 2.4GHz with 27.5M cache. This core count drives parallel throughput for virtualization, database and compute tasks. If your workload needs a different core count or clock speed, this specific processor configuration will not match. The second socket remains available to double the core count later.
