DELL PowerEdge R760 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5418Y 2.0GHz 768GB DDR5 4x 960GB SSD

Enterprise rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server built for compute-intensive enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5418Y processors, each running at 2.0GHz with a 3.8GHz turbo frequency and 24 cores per CPU. The system includes 768GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory across 24 modules and four 960GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H965i RAID controller with 8GB NV cache. Dual 1400W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Datacenter provide redundancy and remote management.

Suited for virtualisation.

This configuration targets organisations running VMware, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters, large SQL databases and SDS platforms that benefit from 48 total cores and high memory capacity. The 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports SAS, SATA and NVMe drives for flexible storage tiers. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, higher single-thread frequency or faster than 1GbE networking should evaluate other platforms. Workloads requiring GPU acceleration or specialised AI accelerators will need additional PCIe cards not included here.

Dual-socket LGA 4677 platform with 48 total cores

The server maxes out at two processors in LGA 4677 sockets, delivering 48 combined cores at 2.0GHz base clock. This hard limit on socket count defines the peak thread capacity for licensing and scaling decisions. Memory scales to 8TB across 32 DDR5 slots, so the installed 768GB leaves headroom for growth. The PERC H965i handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the 16 drive bays.
