Dell PowerEdge R6715
What Is the Dell PowerEdge R6715?
The R6715 is the single-CPU 1U member of Dell’s 17th-generation PowerEdge family on AMD’s EPYC 9005 “Turin” (Zen 5) platform in an SP5 socket. One processor delivers up to 160 cores, backed by 24 DDR5 RDIMM slots running at 5200 MT/s with a system maximum of 3 TB of memory. Dell launched the R6715 in 2025 alongside the dual-socket 1U R6725 and the 2U R7715/R7725, replacing the 16th-generation R6615.
The 1U chassis offers front layouts of 4 × 3.5″, 8 or 10 × 2.5″, or 16 or 20 × E3.S, plus up to two rear 2.5″ bays — a system maximum of 22 E3.S PCIe Gen5 NVMe drives. Expansion runs to three front Gen5 x16 slots, two rear Gen5 x16 slots and an OCP 3.0 connection, with up to three 75 W single-width accelerators available as a post-launch option. PERC H965i/H975i RAID, HBA465e external connectivity, BOSS-N1 redundant boot, iDRAC10 management and Quick Sync 2 wireless provisioning complete a current platform.

Why Choose a Single-Socket Turin 1U Server?
One EPYC 9005 Turin CPU now carries up to 160 Zen 5 cores — more core count than most two-socket fleets needed a generation ago. The R6715 is the right tool when a workload wants 1U density and Gen5 I/O without buying or licensing a second socket:
- One socket, one licensing bill. Per-core and per-socket databases, hypervisors, VDI and security suites are licensed against the physical CPUs in the machine. A single 160-core socket keeps consolidation density high while you pay for one processor’s cores.
- Dense 1U virtualization. Up to 160 cores and 3 TB of DDR5 in a 1U chassis makes a very compact VMware, Hyper-V or KVM host — more virtual machines per rack unit without paying for idle second-socket headroom.
- Full Gen5 flash and networking. Up to 22 E3.S Gen5 NVMe drives, front and rear Gen5 PCIe slots and OCP 3.0 (up to Gen5 x16) give all-flash HCI and software-defined storage nodes the bandwidth they need in a single socket.
If you genuinely need two sockets, the dual-socket R6725 scales to 384 cores and 6 TB of DDR5-6400 in the same 1U envelope. If you need double-width GPUs or a 2U storage footprint, the single-socket R7715 and dual-socket R7725 are the 2U members of the same 17G family.
Where the R6715 Fits
Virtualization & private cloud
Up to 160 Zen 5 cores and 3 TB of DDR5-5200 in 1U run dense vSphere, Hyper-V and KVM hosts and cost-efficient multi-tenant cloud nodes.
HCI & software-defined storage
Up to 22 E3.S Gen5 NVMe drives with OCP 3.0 high-speed networking for vSAN, Ceph, Proxmox and storage-dense hyperconverged clusters.
Per-core-licensed databases
One physical socket means one set of SQL Server, Oracle and similar core licences, with up to 160 cores and 3 TB of memory for production database workloads.
Fleet builds, edge & managed services
A standardized 1U building block with iDRAC10, Quick Sync 2 wireless management and left/right rack rails for repeatable data-centre and POP deployments.

R6715 vs R6725 and R6615
The three names are easy to confuse. The R6715 and R6725 are both 17th-generation Turin servers in the same 1U family — the difference is one socket versus two. The R6615 is the previous 16th-generation single-socket 1U model on EPYC 9004 (Genoa/Zen 4).

R6715 vs R6725: choose the R6725 only when you genuinely need up to 384 cores, dual-socket DDR5-6400 bandwidth and 6 TB of memory, and will licence both CPUs. The R6715 shares the same 1U chassis, the same 22-drive E3.S Gen5 ceiling and the same three single-width GPU option, but one socket means lower acquisition cost and one per-core software-licensing boundary — the better fit for the majority of virtualization, cloud and database hosts.
R6715 vs R6615: stepping up from 16G moves the single-socket 1U platform to Zen 5 Turin with up to 160 cores, DDR5-5200 memory up to 3 TB, up to 22 E3.S Gen5 NVMe drives, the newer PERC H975i controller option, iDRAC10 and Quick Sync 2. The R6615 remains a proven Zen 4 value choice; the R6715 is the current platform with the longest support runway. Browse the full AMD EPYC model list and our other EPYC servers.
1U vs 2U: if you need double-width GPUs or a larger storage footprint, the 2U single-socket R7715 and 2U dual-socket R7725 expand the same 17G architecture into a larger chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Dell PowerEdge R6715?
The Dell PowerEdge R6715 is Dell’s 17th-generation single-socket 1U rack server with one AMD EPYC 9005 “Turin” (Zen 5) processor in an SP5 socket. It supports up to 160 cores, 24 DDR5-5200 DIMMs up to 3 TB, front layouts of 4 × 3.5″ / 8 or 10 × 2.5″ / 16 or 20 × E3.S plus up to two rear 2.5″ bays, a maximum of 22 E3.S Gen5 NVMe drives, and up to three 75 W single-width GPUs as a post-launch option. It was released in 2025 with iDRAC10 management. We supply it brand-new and factory-sealed with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
Is the R6715 single-socket or dual-socket, and how many cores does it have?
The R6715 is single-socket: it takes one AMD EPYC 9005 Turin processor with up to 160 cores, 24 DDR5-5200 DIMMs and up to 3 TB of memory. The dual-socket 17th-generation 1U model is the R6725, which takes two Turin CPUs with up to 192 cores per socket and 384 cores in total. Choosing the R6715 means buying and licensing a single physical CPU — a key advantage for per-core-licensed software.
R6715 vs R6725 — which should I choose?
Choose the R6725 if you genuinely need up to 384 cores, dual-socket DDR5-6400 bandwidth and up to 6 TB of memory in 1U and will licence both CPUs — typical for extreme compute-density, HPC and large in-memory workloads. Choose the R6715 for dense virtualization, general-purpose cloud hosts, HCI and database workloads on one socket: up to 160 cores, DDR5-5200 up to 3 TB, the same 1U form factor, the same ceiling of 22 E3.S Gen5 drives and the same three 75 W single-width GPU option, with lower acquisition and per-core licensing cost.
R6715 vs R6615 — is the 17th-generation upgrade worth it?
The R6615 is the 16th-generation single-socket 1U server on EPYC 9004 (Genoa, Zen 4). The R6715 moves to Zen 5 Turin with up to 160 cores, DDR5-5200 memory up to 3 TB, up to 22 E3.S Gen5 NVMe drives across front and rear bays, the PERC H975i controller option, iDRAC10 and Quick Sync 2, and it is current production released in 2025. For the longest support runway and the strongest single-socket 1U platform, the R6715 is the current choice; the R6615 remains a proven Zen 4 value option.
Why does a single-socket server lower per-core software licensing cost?
Many data-centre software products — major relational databases, some hypervisor editions, VDI, backup and security platforms — are licensed per physical socket or core. A dual-socket server can require licensing both CPUs’ cores even when the workload runs on one. The R6715 places up to 160 Zen 5 cores and 3 TB of memory behind a single licensing boundary, so consolidation density stays high while licence costs cover one processor. We size the exact CPU SKU to your licence terms and confirm it on the order.
What GPUs, storage and expansion options does the R6715 support?
The R6715 supports up to three 75 W single-width accelerators as a post-launch option; double-width GPUs are not supported in this 1U chassis. Storage runs to front layouts of 4 × 3.5″, 8 or 10 × 2.5″, or 16 or 20 × E3.S, plus up to two rear 2.5″ bays, with a system maximum of 22 E3.S PCIe Gen5 NVMe drives. Expansion includes up to three front Gen5 x16 slots plus one Gen5 x8, up to two rear Gen5 x16 plus one Gen5 x8, an OCP 3.0 connector up to Gen5 x16 and two 1 GbE LOM ports, with PERC H965i/H975i RAID, HBA465e and BOSS-N1. Exact options depend on backplane, riser and power configuration. For double-width GPUs, the 2U single-socket R7715 is the alternative.
Is the R6715 new, what is the warranty and how do I order?
The R6715 we supply is brand-new, current production, shipped factory-sealed with a 3-year manufacturer warranty. Each build is assembled, firmware-baselined and stress-tested before dispatch and ships with an inspection report.
