Dell PowerEdge R760 (New)
What Is the Dell PowerEdge R760?
The R760 is the dual-socket 2U mainstream model of Dell’s 16th-generation PowerEdge family. It accepts two 4th Generation (Sapphire Rapids) or 5th Generation (Emerald Rapids) Intel Xeon Scalable processors in an 86.8 mm (3.42") 2U chassis, with 32 DDR5 DIMMs, PCIe Gen5, E3.S storage options and the power and cooling for two double-width GPUs.
It is the volume, fleet-standard 2U platform: mature, widely deployed and fully supported across VMware, Microsoft, Nutanix and Linux. Buyers standardize on the R760 when they want proven current-generation DDR5/Gen5 performance without paying the new-platform premium of the 17th-generation R770. We ship it new in volume for clusters, HCI, virtualization, databases and general-purpose data-center consolidation.

R760 Specifications in Detail
Processors: dual 4th/5th Gen Xeon Scalable, up to 128 cores
The two sockets accept 4th Generation Sapphire Rapids and 5th Generation Emerald Rapids Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs, from Silver 4400-series up to the Platinum 8592+, with up to 64 cores per socket — 128 cores and 256 threads per host — at up to 385 W per CPU. Emerald Rapids raises DDR5 speed to 5600 MT/s. Tell us your vCPU target and licensing boundary and we will recommend the exact SKU.
Memory: 32 DDR5 DIMMs, up to 8 TB with CXL 1.1
The board provides 32 DDR5 RDIMM slots at 4800 MT/s (4th Gen) or 5600 MT/s (5th Gen), with 16/32/64/128/256 GB modules, an 8 TB ceiling and CXL 1.1 memory expansion support. We stock and match DDR5 modules to your fleet vendor and speed.
Storage: up to 24 front NVMe
Choose 8 or 12 × 3.5″ capacity backplanes or a 24 × 2.5″ hot-swap SAS/SATA/NVMe front, with up to 24 NVMe drives. Controllers span the PERC 12 H355/H755/H755N/H965i family plus HBA465 passthrough and software RAID S160; a BOSS-N1 dual-M.2 boot card separates the hypervisor from data disks.
PCIe Gen5, GPUs, power and management
Eight PCIe Gen5 riser slots and OCP 3.0 networking run Gen5 NVMe and 100/200 GbE adapters at full speed. The 2U risers support up to two double-width 350 W data-center GPUs or up to six 75 W single-wide cards. Redundant hot-plug PSUs range from 800 W to 2800 W. Management uses iDRAC9 and OpenManage Enterprise, with TPM 2.0, signed firmware, Silicon Root of Trust and Secure Erase.
R760 vs R770 and R750: Which 2U Intel Server Do You Need?
| PowerEdge R760 (16G) | PowerEdge R770 (17G) | PowerEdge R750 (15G) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Processors | 2 × 4th/5th Gen Xeon (Sapphire/Emerald Rapids) | 2 × Intel Xeon 6 Granite Rapids | 2 × 3rd Gen Xeon (Ice Lake) |
| Cores (max) | 128 total | 172 P / up to 288 E total | 80 total |
| Memory | 32 × DDR5-4800/5600, 8 TB | 32 × DDR5-6400/MRDIMM, 8 TB | 32 × DDR4-3200, 8 TB LRDIMM |
| PCIe / NVMe | Gen5; up to 24 NVMe | Gen5; up to 44 NVMe/E3.S | Gen4; up to 24 NVMe |
| GPUs | Up to 2 × 350W | Up to 2 × 450W | Up to 2 × 300W |
| Management | iDRAC9 | iDRAC10 | iDRAC9 |
| Best fit | Proven current DDR5/Gen5 volume value | New flagship, maximum cores and headroom | Lowest-cost new NOS / DDR4 value |
Rule of thumb: the R760 is the sweet spot — current DDR5/PCIe Gen5 at proven volume pricing. Step up to the R770 for the newest Xeon 6 flagship; choose the R750 when a new DDR4 platform at the lowest capital cost is the goal (sealed new old stock — ask us). 1U buyers compare the R660.
