Introducing the Dell PowerEdge T360 and R360: Double the performance with Intel® Xeon® E-Series processors.
The launch of the Dell PowerEdge T360 and Dell PowerEdge R360 servers is a significant addition to the Dell Technologies PowerEdge portfolio. These cost-effective 1-socket servers deliver powerful performance with the latest Intel® Xeon® E-series processors, GPU support, DDR5 memory, and PCIe Gen 5 I/O slots. They are designed to meet the growing computing needs of SMBs ( SMB), remote office/branch office (ROBO) and edge deployments.
The T360 and R360 increase computing performance by up to 108% compared to previous generation servers. As a result, customers get up to 1.8x more performance for every dollar spent on new E-series processors.
Adding and updating features
The table below lists the new features that are common to both the rack and tower form factors, as shown in the table below. Perhaps the most notable upgrades over the previous generation PowerEdge T350 and R350 servers are significantly more powerful processors, added support for entry-level GPUs, and nearly 1.4x faster memory.

Support for entry-level GPUs
We are seeing growing demand for video and audio computing, especially in retail, manufacturing and logistics. To meet this demand, the PowerEdge T360 and R360 now support 1 entry-level NVIDIA A2 data center GPU that accelerates these media-intensive workloads as well as emerging AI data output workloads. The A2 is a single stack width GPU with 16GB of graphics memory and a configurable thermal design power (TDP) of 40-60W. Learn more about the 20x output acceleration and capabilities of the A2 GPU here: A2 Tensor Core GPU | NVIDIA.
This update couldn't be more appropriate for companies looking to scale and explore early AI use cases. IDC predicts that global AI spending will reach $154 billion this year, with retail and banking leading the list of industries with the largest AI investments. For example, a retailer can use the power of the A2 GPU and the latest processors to stream video from store aisles to manage inventory and analyze customer behavior.
Product differentiation is the rack or tower form factor
The biggest difference between the T360 and R360 is their form factors. The T360 is a tower server that can be placed under a desk or even in a storage cabinet while maintaining office-friendly acoustics. The R360 is a traditional 1U rackmount server. The table below details the differences in product specifications. In particular, the PowerEdge T360 has a larger drive capacity for customers with intensive workloads or those who expect increased storage demand.

CPU performance testing
The Dell Solutions Performance Analysis Lab (SPA) conducted SPEC CPU® 2017 testing on PowerEdge T360 and R360 servers with the latest Intel Xeon E-2400 series processors. SPEC CPU is an industry standard benchmark that measures computational performance for both floating point (FP) and integer operations. We compare the new results with the previous generation PowerEdge T350 and R350 servers equipped with Intel Xeon E-2300 processors.
The following generational comparisons represent common Intel processor configurations for the R350/T350 and R360/T360 clients, respectively:
