Processor features

The Intel 4th and 5th Generation Xeon Scalable Processors stack is the next generation data center processor offering with significant performance increases, integrated acceleration, and next generation memory and I/O. Sapphire Rapids and Emerald Rapids accelerate customer usage with unique workload optimizations

Storage controllers

Dell RAID controller options offer performance improvements, including the fPERC solution. fPERC provides a base RAID HW controller without consuming a PCIe slot by using a small form factor and high-density connector to the base planar.

Power, thermal, and acoustics

PowerEdge servers have an extensive collection of sensors that automatically track thermal activity, which helps to regulate temperature by reducing server noise and power consumption.
