HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Processors
Genuine HPE-qualified Intel Xeon Scalable processors for the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10, new and refurbished, alongside heat sink kits. The platform spans two CPU generations — 1st Gen (Skylake, DDR4-2666) and 2nd Gen (Cascade Lake, DDR4-2933) — from Bronze parts to 28-core Platinums.
DL360 Gen10 Processor Specifications
- Families: 1st Gen Intel Xeon Scalable and 2nd Gen (through Platinum 8280 at 28 cores), one or two sockets
- Range: entry Bronze and Silver parts up to 28-core Platinums (Platinum 8280 at 2.7GHz)
- Memory support: the CPU generation sets the ceiling — DDR4-2666 on 1st Gen, DDR4-2933 on 2nd Gen; Optane PMem requires select 2nd Gen models
- Cooling: standard and performance heat sinks matched to TDP and the 1U envelope
Both sockets must match. Buy processors in identical pairs, match memory speed to the CPU generation (2933 MT/s needs 2nd Gen), and order heat sinks separately — high-TDP parts need the performance tier in this 1U chassis.
Which processors does the DL360 Gen10 support?
| Tier | Examples | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze / Silver | 6–12 cores | Entry builds, edge, light duty |
| Gold | Mid-core, higher clocks (e.g. 5118 12c/2.3GHz) | Databases, per-core-licensed software |
| Platinum | Up to 28 cores (8180 1st Gen / 8280 2nd Gen, 2.7GHz) | Consolidation density |
The refurb market makes formerly flagship silicon remarkably affordable — 2nd Gen Gold parts hit the sweet spot of clocks, cores, and 2933 MT/s memory support. Two 28-core Platinums put 56 cores in 1U.
Choosing the Right DL360 Gen10 Processors
- Both processors must be identical — buy matched pairs, and match the existing CPU exactly when adding a second.
- Prefer 2nd Gen when you have the choice: DDR4-2933 support and Optane PMem capability on select models.
- The CPU sets your memory speed — pair with the right DDR4 kits.
- Check the heat sink for high-TDP parts in the 1U envelope.

DL360 Gen10 Processors FAQ
What processors does the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 support?
1st Generation Intel Xeon Scalable (up to 28 cores at DDR4-2666) and 2nd Generation (through the 28-core Platinum 8280 at DDR4-2933), in one- or two-socket configurations.
What is the maximum core count of the DL360 Gen10?
56 cores - two 28-core Platinum processors (8180-family on 1st Gen or 8280-family on 2nd Gen).
Can I upgrade a 1st Gen DL360 Gen10 to 2nd Gen processors?
The generations share the platform, but firmware level and configuration rules apply - verify your system ROM is current and match the target CPU against the QuickSpecs before ordering. Both sockets must run the identical model.
Do DL360 Gen10 processors come with heat sinks?
No - processor SKUs ship as the processor only. Order the heat sink matching your CPU's TDP and the 1U configuration.
Which DL360 Gen10 processor is best for database licensing?
The low-core, higher-clock Gold models - they keep per-core license counts down, and the 2nd Gen parts add DDR4-2933 support.
