Dell R6625 vs HPE DL360 Gen12

A specification-by-specification comparison of the Dell PowerEdge R6625 and the HPE ProLiant Compute DL360 Gen12, built from Dell’s and HPE’s own documents. None of the headline measures favour the R6625; 6 favour the DL360 Gen12, and they share no processors.

Bottom line. DL360 Gen12 leads on virtualisation, databases and in-memory work, storage density, AI and acceleration, 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 R6625 if…

  • Two sockets in one rack unit: a pair of 128-core 9754s gives 256 cores, and Dell rates them for air at 30°C with the 8 × 2.5-inch NVMe front or no backplane.

Choose the DL360 Gen12 if…

  • Cores, fully populated: 288 against 256 on the R6625
  • Memory ceiling: 8 TB against 6 TB on the R6625
  • Drive bays: 20 against 16 on the R6625
  • Twenty E3.S NVMe bays in 1U — five front boxes that each take four E3.S or two U.3 SFF drives, and can be mixed.

07 — Questions

R6625 vs DL360 Gen12, answered

Is the R6625 or the DL360 Gen12 the faster server?

Neither document publishes benchmark results, so this page compares what they do state. The R6625 lists 19 processors up to 128 cores at 360 W; the DL360 Gen12 lists 33 up to 144 cores at 350 W. Fully populated that is 256 cores against 288.

Which holds more memory?

The R6625 has 24 DIMM slots and a stated ceiling of 6 TB. The DL360 Gen12 has 32 and 8.0 TB.

Which takes more drives?

R6625: 16 bays across 14 documented layouts. DL360 Gen12: 20 across 5. Counts include rear and mid-chassis positions where the vendor documents them.

Can either take GPUs?

R6625: up to 2 accelerators, 0 double-wide cards listed. DL360 Gen12: up to 3, 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. R6625: Dell PowerEdge R6625 Technical Guide (July 2026, Rev. A07) (Dell document). DL360 Gen12: HPE ProLiant Compute DL360 Gen12 QuickSpecs (Version 18 - 03-Aug-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.
