Server Dell PowerEdge R660 - Intel Xeon Silver 4510 2.4-4.1Ghz 12 Cores

The Dell PowerEdge R660 server is a 1U dual-processor rack server based on Intel's fourth-generation Xeon Scalable "Sapphire Rapids" processors. It supports the latest server technologies, including SSD E3.S Gen5, DDR5 memory and liquid-cooled CPU configurations. In addition, despite the compact 1U case, up to 16 SSDs can be installed in the server.
Maximum productivity
- Add up to two next-generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable or Intel® Xeon® Max processors with up to 56 cores for
faster and more accurate data processing.
- Accelerate memory workloads with up to 32 DDR5 RDIMMS at up to 4400 Mbps (2DPC) or 4800 Mbps for
1DPC (max 16 DDR5 RDIMMs).
- Support for GPUs, including 3 x single-wide for workloads that require acceleration.

Conclusion

The Dell PowerEdge R660 server is an impressive step forward in Dell's server line. Cooling improvements enable this 1U-tall server to support up to two 350-watt fourth-generation Xeon Scalable processors, which in turn support DDR5 memory and Gen5 drives.

The variety of configurations of the disk subsystem is a big plus of the PowerEdge R660. Dell uses E3.S SSDs to increase storage density, which will be a big advantage when these servers are certified for vSAN, VxRail and modified for storage systems such as PowerScale.
