Four-socket Xeon Platinum 8160 server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack-mount server fitted with four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The chassis holds 64 GB of DDR4 memory across four 16 GB modules and eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives. A PERC H730P controller and dual 1600 W power supplies complete the build.

Buyers needing maximum socket count in 3U

This system targets organisations that run memory-intensive databases, virtualisation hosts or analytics workloads and require four processors in a single 3U enclosure. It is not suited to buyers who need more than 48 DIMM slots, additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots, or a different processor generation.

48 DDR4 slots decide memory ceiling

The server provides 48 DIMM slots with a maximum supported capacity of 6 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. That slot count and the four-socket limit are the key constraints when planning future memory expansion.

Questions about this item

How do I decide between the 2.1 GHz and 3.7 GHz turbo speeds on the Xeon 8160?

The 2.1 GHz is the base clock that all 24 cores sustain under full load. The 3.7 GHz turbo activates on fewer cores when thermal headroom exists, so single-threaded bursts run faster while heavy multi-threaded work stays at base speed.

What does 64 GB of DDR4 across 48 slots mean for real-world capacity?

The system ships with four 16 GB modules leaving 44 slots open. You can expand up to the 6 TB maximum by populating the remaining slots with compatible DDR4 registered ECC DIMMs.

What does the H730P 12 Gb/s SAS controller cap in practice?

The controller drives the eight 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives at 12 Gb/s per lane and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through, so the array topology you choose sets the usable capacity and redundancy ceiling.
