Dell R760xd2 vs HPE DL380 Gen10

A specification-by-specification comparison of the Dell PowerEdge R760xd2 and the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10, built from Dell’s and HPE’s own documents. 2 headline measures favour the R760xd2, 4 favour the DL380 Gen10, and they share no processors.

Bottom line. R760xd2 leads on storage density. DL380 Gen10 leads on virtualisation, databases and in-memory work, 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 R760xd2 if…

  • Cores, fully populated: 64 against 56 on the DL380 Gen10
  • Drive bays: 28 against 24 on the DL380 Gen10
  • Twenty-four 3.5-inch bays inside 2U — twelve at the front, twelve in a mid-bay drawer — plus a rear module for four 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drives or NVMe instead (4 × 2.5-inch in carriers, 2 × U.2 or 4 × E3.S).

Choose the DL380 Gen10 if…

  • Memory ceiling: 3 TB against 1.5 TB on the R760xd2
  • Accelerators: Up to 8 against Up to 2 on the R760xd2
  • Largest power supply: 2,200 W against 1,800 W on the R760xd2
  • Expansion is the whole argument for this chassis. Three riser positions carry as many as eight PCIe 3.0 slots, and the pair of x16/x16/x16 GPU riser kits each take three single-width accelerators — six across two processors. The 1U DL360 Gen10, built from the identical processor table, reaches three slots in total.

Can either take GPUs?

R760xd2: up to 2 accelerators, 1 double-wide cards listed. DL380 Gen10: up to 8, 14 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. R760xd2: Dell PowerEdge R760xd2 Technical Guide (June 2026, Rev. A07) (Dell document). DL380 Gen10: HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Server QuickSpecs (a00008180enw, Version 77, 16 June 2025) (HPE document).
