Head-to-head · every figure from the vendor documents

Dell R640 vs HPE DL360 Gen10

A specification-by-specification comparison of the Dell PowerEdge R640 and the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10, built from Dell’s and HPE’s own documents. 2 headline measures favour the R640, 2 favour the DL360 Gen10, and 67 processors appear in both lists.

Bottom line. R640 leads on storage density, AI and acceleration. DL360 Gen10 leads on virtualisation, databases and in-memory work, network throughput. 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 R640 if…

  • Drive bays: 18 against 10 on the DL360 Gen10
  • Accelerators: Up to 3 against Up to 2 on the DL360 Gen10
  • Slot count does not drop with the rack unit: the 2U members of this generation carry the same 24 DDR4 slots, so a memory-hungry workload costs no extra height here.

Choose the DL360 Gen10 if…

  • Memory ceiling: 3 TB against 1.53 TB on the R640
  • Fastest network option: 100 GbE class against 25 GbE class on the R640
  • Nothing is cut from the compute half. A 113-row processor table, 112 rows of which, the same 24 DDR4 slots at twelve per socket, the same C621 chipset and the same iLO 5 silicon as the 2U DL380 Gen10 — so a pair of these in two rack units doubles the socket count and doubles the DIMM count against one DL380 Gen10 in the same space.

07 — Questions

R640 vs DL360 Gen10, answered

Is the R640 or the DL360 Gen10 the faster server?

Neither document publishes benchmark results, so this page compares what they do state. The R640 lists 70 processors up to 28 cores at 205 W; the DL360 Gen10 lists 113 up to 28 cores at 205 W. Fully populated that is 56 cores against 56.

Which holds more memory?

The R640 has 24 DIMM slots and a stated ceiling of RDIMM 1.53 TB; LRDIMM 3 TB; NVDIMM 192 GB; PMem 6.14 TB. The DL360 Gen10 has 24 and 3.0 TB.

Which takes more drives?

R640: 18 bays across 6 documented layouts. DL360 Gen10: 10 across 14. Counts include rear and mid-chassis positions where the vendor documents them.

Can either take GPUs?

R640: up to 3 accelerators, 0 double-wide cards listed. DL360 Gen10: up to 2, 0 double-wide listed.

Do they share any processors?

Yes — 67 processors appear in both documents, including the Intel Xeon Platinum 8280L. That makes a like-for-like build possible on either server.

Where these figures come from. R640: Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 Technical Guide (Rev. A10, August 2022) (Dell document). DL360 Gen10: HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Server QuickSpecs (a00008159enw, Version 74 — 18 May 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.
