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

Dell R670 vs HPE DL360 Gen11

A specification-by-specification comparison of the Dell PowerEdge R670 and the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11, built from Dell’s and HPE’s own documents. 2 headline measures favour the R670, 1 favours the DL360 Gen11, and they share no processors.

Bottom line. R670 leads on virtualisation, 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 R670 if…

  • Cores, fully populated: 288 against 128 on the DL360 Gen11
  • Drive bays: 22 against 20 on the DL360 Gen11
  • Up to 144 E-cores per socket — 288 cores in one rack unit — or 86 P-cores where per-core speed matters, all from one list of 23 processors.

Choose the DL360 Gen11 if…

  • Largest power supply: 2,200 W against 1,800 W on the R670
  • Two sockets and 32 DIMM slots in one rack unit: up to 64 cores per processor and 8 TB of DDR5, with 4 TB behind each socket.

07 — Questions

R670 vs DL360 Gen11, answered

Is the R670 or the DL360 Gen11 the faster server?

Neither document publishes benchmark results, so this page compares what they do state. The R670 lists 23 processors up to 144 cores at 350 W; the DL360 Gen11 lists 58 up to 64 cores at 385 W. Fully populated that is 288 cores against 128.

Which holds more memory?

The R670 has 32 DIMM slots and a stated ceiling of 8 TB. The DL360 Gen11 has 32 and 8.0 TB.

Which takes more drives?

R670: 22 bays across 8 documented layouts. DL360 Gen11: 20 across 5. Counts include rear and mid-chassis positions where the vendor documents them.

Can either take GPUs?

R670: up to 3 accelerators, 0 double-wide cards listed. DL360 Gen11: 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. R670: Dell PowerEdge R670 Technical Guide (May 2026, Rev. A07) (Dell document). DL360 Gen11: HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 QuickSpecs (Version 48 - 08-Sep-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.
