Dell R540 processor questions

The Dell R540 supports 40 processors in our catalog, spanning the Cascade Lake and Skylake families. Every processor in the table on this page is verified compatible with the Dell R540 — filter by core count, clock speed or TDP to narrow the list.

The 2.00Ghz Gold 6138T 20-Core 125W is the highest core count processor we list for the Dell R540, at 20 cores. Higher core counts suit virtualization and container hosts where total thread count matters more than per-core speed.

By clock speed, the 2.30Ghz Gold 5218 16-Core 125W tops the list for the Dell R540 at 3.9GHz. Fewer, faster cores generally win for databases and applications licensed per core.

Processors for the Dell R540 use the LGA 3647 socket. A processor must match both the socket and the chassis generation to work, which is why this page lists only verified-compatible parts.

Compatible processors for the Dell R540 range from 70W to 125W TDP. Higher TDP parts run hotter and may require specific heatsinks or fan configurations — contact our team if you are unsure what your chassis is configured for.

Yes. Configure a Dell R540 to order and pick your processors, memory, storage and controllers in one build, and we will assemble, test and ship it configured. Every system carries a one year warranty, extendable to five.

Server processors have no moving parts and are among the most durable components in a system. Every CPU we sell for the Dell R540 is tested before it ships and backed by the same one year warranty as our systems.
