Dell PowerEdge R670 (New)
What Is the Dell PowerEdge R670?
The R670 is the 1U dual-socket member of Dell’s 17th-generation PowerEdge family. It accepts two Intel Xeon 6 Granite Rapids processors — P-core 6700P/6900P for licensed, latency-sensitive workloads and the high-core E-core 6700E series for throughput — with 32 DDR5-6400 DIMMs and the E3.S high-density front storage family in a single rack-unit chassis.
Where the 2U R770 optimizes expansion and GPU headroom, the R670 optimizes compute per rack unit. It is the platform to choose for dense VMware/Hyper-V hosts, container and web farms, all-flash 1U storage and high-density licensing-aware clusters where rack space is the constraint.

R670 Specifications in Detail
Processors: dual Intel Xeon 6 in 1U, up to 288 cores
The two sockets accept Intel Xeon 6 Granite Rapids CPUs. P-core 6700P/6900P parts reach up to 86 cores per socket for databases and per-core licensed software; E-core 6700E parts reach up to 144 cores per socket — 288 cores in a 1U host — for dense throughput. Send your vCPU and licensing targets and we will specify the exact SKU within the 500 W envelope.
Memory: 32 DDR5-6400 DIMMs, up to 8 TB
The board provides 32 DDR5 RDIMM/MRDIMM slots at 6400 MT/s (MRDIMM up to 8000 MT/s), with 16/32/64/128/256 GB modules and an 8 TB ceiling, an unusually large memory footprint for a 1U server and ideal for dense in-memory and virtualization hosts.
Storage: up to 40 front E3.S in one rack unit
Front backplanes span 4 × 3.5″, 10 × 2.5″ or the high-density up to 40 × E3.S NVMe layout. Controllers include the PERC 13 H365i/H965i/H975i family and HBA465 passthrough, with a BOSS-N1 M.2 boot option to separate the hypervisor.
PCIe Gen5, power and management
Five PCIe Gen5 riser slots and OCP networking carry Gen5 NVMe and high-speed adapters at full rate. Redundant hot-plug PSUs span 1100 W, 1500 W and 2400 W. Lifecycle management uses iDRAC10 and OpenManage Enterprise, with TPM 2.0, Silicon Root of Trust, signed firmware and Secure Boot.
R670 vs R770: 1U Density or 2U Expansion?
| PowerEdge R670 (1U) | PowerEdge R770 (2U) | |
|---|---|---|
| Form factor | 1U dual-socket | 2U dual-socket |
| Processors | 2 × Intel Xeon 6 Granite Rapids | 2 × Intel Xeon 6 Granite Rapids |
| Cores (max) | 172 P-core / up to 288 E-core total | 172 P-core / up to 288 E-core total |
| Memory | 32 × DDR5-6400, up to 8 TB | 32 × DDR5-6400, up to 8 TB |
| Front storage | 4 × 3.5″ / 10 × 2.5″ / up to 40 × E3.S | 8 × 3.5″ / 24 × 2.5″ / up to 40 × E3.S |
| Rear drives | — | 4 × E3.S (up to 44 total) |
| PCIe / GPUs | 5 × Gen5; low-profile accelerators | 8 × Gen5; up to 2 × 450W double-width GPU |
| Best fit | Maximum compute per rack unit, dense 1U HCI | Maximum expansion, GPUs, rear storage |
Rule of thumb: need the most Xeon 6 compute in the fewest rack units? Choose the R670. Need double-width 450 W GPUs, eight risers, rear E3.S or maximum storage expansion? Choose the R770. Buyers comparing the previous 1U generation should see the 16th-generation R660 — ask us for availability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Dell PowerEdge R670 used for?
The R670 is Dell’s 17th-generation 1U dual-socket Intel Xeon 6 server. It is used where rack space is the constraint: dense VMware/Hyper-V and KVM hosts, container and web farms, all-flash 1U HCI and high-core-count clusters that still need only one rack unit.
What CPUs does the R670 use?
Two sockets accept Intel Xeon 6 Granite Rapids: P-core 6700P/6900P up to 86 cores per socket (172 total) or E-core 6700E up to 144 per socket (288 total), up to 500 W per CPU.
What is the maximum RAM for the R670?
32 DDR5 RDIMM/MRDIMM slots support up to 8 TB at 6400 MT/s, and up to 8000 MT/s with MRDIMMs.
How many drives does the R670 support?
The front bay supports 4 × 3.5″, 10 × 2.5″ or up to 40 × E3.S NVMe drives. There is no rear drive module on the 1U R670.
What is the difference between the R670 and R770?
Both are 17th-generation dual Intel Xeon 6 servers with up to 288 cores and 8 TB DDR5-6400. The R670 is a 1U chassis (5 × Gen5 slots, up to 40 front E3.S) for compute density; the R770 is a 2U chassis (8 × Gen5 slots, up to 44 NVMe with rear E3.S, up to 2 × 450W GPUs) for expansion.
Is the R670 you sell new?
Yes. We supply the R670 brand-new and factory-sealed through our channel at export pricing, configured to your exact spec and covered by a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
Does the R670 support double-width GPUs?
The 1U chassis is optimized for compute density; it supports low-profile accelerators on compatible risers rather than large double-width data-center GPUs. For double-width 450 W GPUs choose the 2U R770.
