Dell R570 vs HPE DL345 Gen11

A specification-by-specification comparison of the Dell PowerEdge R570 and the HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen11, built from Dell’s and HPE’s own documents. 1 headline measure favours the R570, 3 favour the DL345 Gen11, and they share no processors.

Bottom line. R570 leads on virtualisation, databases and in-memory work. DL345 Gen11 leads on storage density. Neither vendor publishes benchmarks for these machines, so every call here is made on what their documents state.

The measures that decide it

Each row is a figure both vendors publish. Bars show the split between the two; a badge marks the larger figure, which is not always the better buy — a shallower chassis or a lower power ceiling can matter more.

02 — Verdict

Which one, and why

Drawn from the measures above and each model’s own data sheet. Neither vendor publishes benchmark results for these servers, so nothing here claims one is “faster”.

Choose the R570 if…

  • Memory ceiling: 4 TB against 3 TB on the DL345 Gen11
  • Three processor types for one socket: seven E-core parts up to 144 cores, ten standard P-core parts up to 86 cores, and six R1S P-core parts carrying 136 PCIe 5.0 lanes.

Choose the DL345 Gen11 if…

  • Cores, fully populated: 160 against 144 on the R570
  • Drive bays: 36 against 32 on the R570
  • Largest power supply: 2,200 W against 1,800 W on the R570
  • A 2U drive envelope behind one processor: 34 SFF, 20 LFF or 36 E3.S bays, because HPE adds mid-tray and rear cages to the front drive boxes.

07 — Questions

R570 vs DL345 Gen11, answered

Is the R570 or the DL345 Gen11 the faster server?

Neither document publishes benchmark results, so this page compares what they do state. The R570 lists 23 processors up to 144 cores at 350 W; the DL345 Gen11 lists 40 up to 160 cores at 400 W. Fully populated that is 144 cores against 160.

Which holds more memory?

The R570 has 16 DIMM slots and a stated ceiling of 4 TB. The DL345 Gen11 has 12 and 3.0 TB.

Which takes more drives?

R570: 32 bays across 13 documented layouts. DL345 Gen11: 36 across 18. Counts include rear and mid-chassis positions where the vendor documents them.

Can either take GPUs?

R570: up to 4 accelerators, 2 double-wide cards listed. DL345 Gen11: up to 4, 0 double-wide listed.

Do they share any processors?

No. The two documents list different processors, so a like-for-like processor build is not possible across these two.

Where these figures come from. R570: Dell PowerEdge R570 Technical Guide (December 2025) (Dell document). DL345 Gen11: HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen11 QuickSpecs (Version 40 - August 3, 2026; footer a50004298enw V40 03-August-2026) (HPE document). Each claim on this page is derived from those documents, checked page by page on the two data sheets, and carries no pricing.
