HPE DL360 Gen12 vs Lenovo SR630 V4

A specification-by-specification comparison of the HPE ProLiant Compute DL360 Gen12 and the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V4, built from HPE’s and Lenovo’s own documents. 2 headline measures favour the DL360 Gen12, 1 favours the SR630 V4, and 27 processors appear in both lists.

Bottom line. DL360 Gen12 leads on storage density. SR630 V4 leads on 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 DL360 Gen12 if…

  • Drive bays: 20 against 16 on the SR630 V4
  • Largest power supply: 2,200 W against 2,000 W on the SR630 V4
  • Twenty E3.S NVMe bays in 1U — five front boxes that each take four E3.S or two U.3 SFF drives, and can be mixed.

Choose the SR630 V4 if…

  • Fastest network option: 800 GbE class against 400 GbE class on the DL360 Gen12
  • Two processor families in one 1U chassis: 27 Xeon 6 P-core SKUs of up to 86 cores, and seven 6700E E-core SKUs of up to 144 cores for thread-dense scale-out work.

07 — Questions

DL360 Gen12 vs SR630 V4, answered

Is the DL360 Gen12 or the SR630 V4 the faster server?

Neither document publishes benchmark results, so this page compares what they do state. The DL360 Gen12 lists 33 processors up to 144 cores at 350 W; the SR630 V4 lists 34 up to 144 cores at 350 W. Fully populated that is 288 cores against 288.

Which holds more memory?

The DL360 Gen12 has 32 DIMM slots and a stated ceiling of 8.0 TB. The SR630 V4 has 32 and 8 TB.

Which takes more drives?

DL360 Gen12: 20 bays across 5 documented layouts. SR630 V4: 16 across 14. Counts include rear and mid-chassis positions where the vendor documents them.

Can either take GPUs?

DL360 Gen12: up to 3 accelerators, 0 double-wide cards listed. SR630 V4: up to 3, 0 double-wide listed.

Do they share any processors?

Yes — 27 processors appear in both documents, including the Intel Xeon 6766E. That makes a like-for-like build possible on either server.

Where these figures come from. DL360 Gen12: HPE ProLiant Compute DL360 Gen12 QuickSpecs (Version 18 - 03-Aug-2026) (HPE document). SR630 V4: Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V4 Server Product Guide (September 8, 2026 (created or updated)) (Lenovo document). Each claim on this page is derived from those documents, checked page by page on the two data sheets, and carries no pricing.
