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

Dell R760 vs HPE DL380 Gen11

A specification-by-specification comparison of the Dell PowerEdge R760 and the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11, built from Dell’s and HPE’s own documents. 1 headline measure favours the R760, 3 favour the DL380 Gen11, and 43 processors appear in both lists.

Bottom line. DL380 Gen11 leads on 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 R760 if…

  • Largest power supply: 3,200 W against 2,200 W on the DL380 Gen11
  • Dell documents 51 processor SKUs, 31 drive-bay layouts and 10 power supplies for this one chassis — far more choice than the R760xs, R760xd2 or R760xa siblings.

Choose the DL380 Gen11 if…

  • Drive bays: 36 against 28 on the R760
  • Accelerators: Up to 8 against Up to 6 on the R760
  • Fastest network option: 400 GbE class against 200 GbE class on the R760
  • Five factory chassis — 8SFF, 24SFF, 8LFF, 12LFF and 12EDSFF — plus mid-tray and rear cages, so one model spans small SFF builds, 16 LFF bays and 36 EDSFF NVMe drives.

07 — Questions

R760 vs DL380 Gen11, answered

Is the R760 or the DL380 Gen11 the faster server?

Neither document publishes benchmark results, so this page compares what they do state. The R760 lists 51 processors up to 64 cores at 350 W; the DL380 Gen11 lists 66 up to 64 cores at 385 W. Fully populated that is 128 cores against 128.

Which holds more memory?

The R760 has 32 DIMM slots and a stated ceiling of 8 TB. The DL380 Gen11 has 32 and 8.0 TB.

Which takes more drives?

R760: 28 bays across 30 documented layouts. DL380 Gen11: 36 across 13. Counts include rear and mid-chassis positions where the vendor documents them.

Can either take GPUs?

R760: up to 6 accelerators, 9 double-wide cards listed. DL380 Gen11: up to 8, 3 double-wide listed.

Do they share any processors?

Yes — 43 processors appear in both documents, including the Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+. That makes a like-for-like build possible on either server.

Where these figures come from. R760: Dell PowerEdge R760 Technical Guide (Rev. A06, June 2026) (Dell document). DL380 Gen11: HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 QuickSpecs (Version 47 - 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.
