Dual Xeon Gold 6148 20-Core Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 20 cores, delivering 40 cores in total for multi-threaded workloads. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 8 modules. It is built for virtualisation, database and compute-intensive tasks.

Suits virtualisation hosts; not for GPU-heavy AI

This configuration suits organisations running hypervisors, enterprise databases or high-performance computing clusters that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache and battery backup. Buyers needing internal GPU accelerator bays or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA bays define storage limits

The chassis provides eight hot-swap 2.5-inch trays for SAS or SATA drives with no drives installed. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB across 24 DIMM slots, allowing future expansion. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included. Network connectivity uses a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports.
