HPE DL360 Gen10 vs Lenovo SR630 V3
A specification-by-specification comparison of the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 and the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V3, built from HPE’s and Lenovo’s own documents. None of the headline measures favour the DL360 Gen10; 6 favour the SR630 V3, and they share no processors.
Bottom line. SR630 V3 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.
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 DL360 Gen10 if…
Nothing is cut from the compute half. A 113-row processor table, 112 rows of which, the same 24 DDR4 slots at twelve per socket, the same C621 chipset and the same iLO 5 silicon as the 2U DL380 Gen10 — so a pair of these in two rack units doubles the socket count and doubles the DIMM count against one DL380 Gen10 in the same space.
Choose the SR630 V3 if…
Cores, fully populated: 128 against 56 on the DL360 Gen10
Memory ceiling: 8 TB against 3 TB on the DL360 Gen10
Drive bays: 16 against 10 on the DL360 Gen10
Two sockets, 32 DDR5 slots and an 8 TB memory ceiling in 1U — the same ceiling Lenovo gives the 2U SR650 V3.

07 — Questions
DL360 Gen10 vs SR630 V3, answered
Is the DL360 Gen10 or the SR630 V3 the faster server?
Neither document publishes benchmark results, so this page compares what they do state. The DL360 Gen10 lists 113 processors up to 28 cores at 205 W; the SR630 V3 lists 84 up to 64 cores at 385 W. Fully populated that is 56 cores against 128.
Which holds more memory?
The DL360 Gen10 has 24 DIMM slots and a stated ceiling of 3.0 TB. The SR630 V3 has 32 and 8 TB.
Which takes more drives?
DL360 Gen10: 10 bays across 14 documented layouts. SR630 V3: 16 across 17. Counts include rear and mid-chassis positions where the vendor documents them.
Can either take GPUs?
DL360 Gen10: up to 2 accelerators, 0 double-wide cards listed. SR630 V3: 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.
