Dual Intel Gold 6142 16-Core Server

The DELL PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6142 processors. Each CPU provides 16 cores for a total of 32 cores. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 memory installed.

Virtualisation And Database Workloads

This server suits buyers who need high core counts for virtualisation or database workloads. The 2.5-inch drive bay layout supports SAS drives for consistent I/O. Buyers who want more storage bays should look at a different chassis configuration.

H740P RAID Controller With 2TB SAS Drives

The installed H740P RAID controller manages the two 2TB 7.2K NL SAS drives. This combination delivers hardware RAID performance for the included drives. Buyers who need a different RAID level or drive count must reconfigure the storage.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 14-core Gold 6132 and the 16-core Gold 6142 for this R740?

The 14-core 6132 runs at 2.6 GHz with 19.25M cache; the 16-core 6142 adds two cores per socket for heavier parallel workloads.

What does the 128 GB DDR4-2666 mean for virtualization density on this server?

128 GB across eight 16 GB modules supports many medium VMs; DDR4-2666 keeps latency low for database and VDI workloads.

How does the H740P RAID controller with SAS drives affect real-world storage throughput?

The H740P manages the two 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives in hardware RAID, delivering consistent IOPS for mixed read-write applications.
