Dell PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2x Xeon 8160 2.1GHz 24C 32GB 2x1.92TB S140 57810S-K iDRAC9 Enterprise

Blade Server for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for high-density data-centre deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 32 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots and two 1.92 TB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC S140 controller.

Suits Virtualisation and HPC Clusters

This blade fits organisations running virtualisation, private cloud or high-performance computing workloads that need maximum cores per rack unit. Buyers who need more than two processors, larger local storage bays, or GPU acceleration for AI training should look at a different platform. The fixed half-height form factor also limits PCIe expansion compared with full-height alternatives.

Dual Xeon 8160 Delivers 56 Cores Total

The pair of Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs provides 56 combined cores, which is the primary measure of throughput for heavily threaded applications. Memory capacity can scale to 1.5 TB using the 16 DDR4 slots, and the S140 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 across SATA or SAS drives. A Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb daughter card handles network connectivity.
