Dell PowerEdge R7725
What Is the Dell PowerEdge R7725?
The R7725 is the dual-CPU flagship of Dell’s 17th-generation PowerEdge family on AMD’s EPYC 9005 “Turin” (Zen 5) platform. Two SP5 processors expose 24 DDR5 channels of memory bandwidth and, with the Turin-Dense parts, up to 192 cores in each socket for a system maximum of 384 cores. Dell launched the R7725 in 2025 alongside the single-socket R7715 and the 1U R6715/R6725, replacing the 16th-generation R7625.
The 2U chassis supports up to 40 front E3.S Gen5 NVMe drives (or 12 × 3.5″ / 24 × 2.5″ layouts), up to eight PCIe Gen5 x16 slots, two double-width accelerators plus six single-width cards, redundant Titanium-class PSUs up to 3200 W (including 277 V AC/HVDC and -48 V DC options), and iDRAC10 management with Dell’s Multi-Vector Cooling 2.0. It is a current platform: parts, firmware and the manufacturer warranty are all first-line.

Why Choose a Dual-Socket Turin Server?
Two EPYC 9005 Turin CPUs give you the largest core and memory-bandwidth envelope in a Dell general-purpose 2U chassis. The R7725 is the right tool when the workload genuinely scales across sockets — not when you simply want headroom you will never license or use:
- Maximum core and memory throughput. Up to 384 cores and 24 DDR5-6400 channels feed the most demanding VMware/Hyper-V/KVM consolidation, in-memory databases and HPC-style parallel jobs.
- Full Gen5 I/O and E3.S density. Up to eight PCIe Gen5 x16 slots, OCP 3.0 networking to 400 GbE and up to 40 E3.S NVMe drives in a single 2U node for all-flash HCI and software-defined storage.
- Two sockets, one balanced NUMA design. Each CPU owns 12 memory channels and half the expansion, a clean dual-NUMA topology that modern operating systems and hypervisors schedule efficiently.
If you do not need the second socket, the single-socket R7715 keeps the same 2U Gen5 I/O, 40 E3.S bays and up to three double-width GPUs while halving per-core software licensing. Choose the R7725 when the extra ~224 cores and dual-socket DDR5-6400 bandwidth are actually on the bill of materials.
Where the R7725 Fits
Large databases & in-memory analytics
Up to 384 Zen 5 cores and 6 TB of DDR5-6400 for SQL Server, Oracle, SAP HANA-style and data-warehouse workloads that scale across two sockets.
Dense virtualization & private cloud

HPC & accelerator hosts
Two double-width (450 W class) plus six 75 W single-width accelerators with 277 V/HVDC and -48 V DC PSU options for hyperscale-style DCs.

R7725 Specifications in Detail
Processor. Two AMD EPYC 9005 Series (Turin / Turin-Dense) in SP5 sockets, up to 192 cores per socket and 384 cores in total. The exact SKU, core count, frequency and cTDP are built to your workload and confirmed on the order and inspection report.
Memory. 24 × DDR5 RDIMM across 24 channels (12 per socket) at 6400 MT/s, up to 6 TB. DIMM layouts are matched for multi-unit orders so every node in a cluster ships identically.
Storage. Front-only chassis: 12 × 3.5″, 8 × 2.5″ universal, 16/24 × 2.5″, 16 × 2.5″ + 8 × U.2, or 8/16/32/40 × E3.S. Maximum flash: 40 × E3.S Gen5 NVMe. There are no rear drive bays on the R7725.
Expansion & GPUs. Up to eight PCIe Gen5 x16 slots plus two OCP 3.0 connections across the two CPUs, with up to two double-width full-height GPUs (450 W class) and up to six 75 W single-width cards. Final GPU count is a function of riser, PSU and airflow configuration.
Controllers, power & management. PERC H365i / H965i / H975i internal RAID, HBA465e external and BOSS-N1 redundant boot. Redundant PSUs from 800 W to 3200 W, including 277 V AC/HVDC and -48 V DC for hyperscale-style and carrier DCs. iDRAC10 and Multi-Vector Cooling 2.0 keep fan power and noise tuned to the actual configuration.
R7725 vs R7715 and R7625
The three are easy to confuse. The R7725 and R7715 are both 17th-gen Turin servers in the same 2U family — the difference is two sockets versus one. The R7625 is the previous 16th-gen dual-socket model on EPYC 9004 (Genoa/Zen 4).

| Best for | Maximum dual-socket cores & bandwidth | Flagship single-socket, lowest per-core licence cost | Proven dual-socket Zen 4 value |
R7725 vs R7715: pick the R7725 only when you genuinely need up to 384 cores and dual-socket DDR5-6400 bandwidth and will licence both CPUs. The R7715 actually supports one more double-width GPU (three versus two) and keeps the same 40 E3.S bays, so single-socket workloads are cheaper to licence on the R7715.
R7725 vs R7625: stepping up from 16G doubles the ceiling (384 vs 192 cores), moves memory to DDR5-6400 (vs 4800) and raises flash to 40 E3.S (vs 32) on the newer PERC H975i / iDRAC10 generation. If you want the current dual-socket platform with the longest support runway, choose the R7725.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Dell PowerEdge R7725?
The Dell PowerEdge R7725 is Dell’s 17th-generation dual-socket 2U rack server on two AMD EPYC 9005 “Turin” (Zen 5) CPUs. It supports up to 192 cores per socket and 384 cores in total, 24 DDR5-6400 DIMMs up to 6 TB, up to 40 E3.S Gen5 NVMe drives, eight PCIe Gen5 x16 slots and up to two double-width plus six single-width GPUs. We supply it brand-new and factory-sealed with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
Is the R7725 single-socket or dual-socket, and how many cores does it have?
The R7725 is dual-socket: it takes two AMD EPYC 9005 Turin processors, with up to 192 cores on each socket and up to 384 cores in total. The single-socket 17G model is the R7715 (up to 160 cores in one CPU). The two sockets together provide 24 DDR5 channels (12 per socket), 24 DIMMs and up to eight Gen5 x16 slots.
R7725 vs R7715 — which should I choose?
Choose the R7725 if you genuinely need up to 384 cores, dual-socket DDR5-6400 bandwidth and will licence both CPUs. Choose the R7715 if you want the same 2U Gen5 platform and 40 E3.S bays while buying and licensing a single socket; the R7715 also supports up to three double-width GPUs versus two on the R7725. Most virtualization, database and HCI workloads that do not fully use a second socket are cheaper to licence on the R7715.
R7725 vs R7625 — is the 17th-generation upgrade worth it?
The R7625 is the 16th-gen dual-socket server on EPYC 9004 (Zen 4): up to 96 cores per socket and 192 total, 24 DDR5-4800 DIMMs and up to 32 E3.S drives. The R7725 moves to Zen 5 Turin with up to 192 cores per socket and 384 total, DDR5-6400, up to 40 E3.S Gen5, newer PERC H975i storage controllers and iDRAC10. For the longest support life and highest dual-socket performance, the R7725 is the current choice; the R7625 remains a proven value option.
What is the difference between Turin and Turin-Dense processors?
Turin-Dense (the 9005 high-core-density Zen 5 parts) pack the most cores into an SP5 package — up to 192 cores per socket — using a denser core configuration, while standard Turin SKUs offer lower core counts with higher per-core frequencies. Dense parts are ideal for highly parallel, throughput-bound virtualization and HPC; higher-frequency standard parts suit per-core-licensed and latency-sensitive databases. We configure the exact SKU to your workload and confirm it on the order.
What GPUs, storage and power options does the R7725 support?
The R7725 supports up to two double-width (450 W-class) plus six 75 W single-width GPUs, up to 40 front E3.S Gen5 NVMe drives (or 12 × 3.5″ / 24 × 2.5″ layouts; no rear bays), eight PCIe Gen5 x16 slots plus OCP 3.0, and redundant PSUs from 800 W to 3200 W including 277 V AC/HVDC and -48 V DC. Exact options depend on backplane, riser and PSU and are confirmed on your order.
Is the R7725 new, what is the warranty and how do I order?
The R7725 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. Send your target configuration, quantity, destination and incoterm and we reply within one business day with a configured build, firm channel price and lead time. Full terms are on the warranty page.
