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

Dell R770 vs Lenovo SR650 V3

A specification-by-specification comparison of the Dell PowerEdge R770 and the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V3, built from Dell’s and Lenovo’s own documents. 4 headline measures favour the R770, 1 favours the SR650 V3, and they share no processors.

Bottom line. R770 leads on virtualisation, storage density, network throughput. SR650 V3 leads on AI and acceleration. 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 R770 if…

  • Cores, fully populated: 288 against 128 on the SR650 V3
  • Drive bays: 44 against 40 on the SR650 V3
  • Largest power supply: 3,200 W against 2,600 W on the SR650 V3
  • Forty front E3.S Gen5 bays plus four at the rear; Dell puts the front alone at 2457.6 TB raw.

Choose the SR650 V3 if…

  • Accelerators: Up to 8 against Up to 6 on the R770
  • Three drive zones — front, mid-chassis and rear — take the 2U chassis to 40 × 2.5-inch or 20 × 3.5-inch bays, and up to 36 NVMe drives can each run on a dedicated x4 link with no oversubscription.
