DL580G2 vs DL380G5-QC

[pymsh]

Hi guys!
We have 2xDL580G2+MSA1000 in a cluster configuration.
For some reason, we have to replace the servers by 2xDL380G5-QC with more memory!
My question is whether DL380G5 can replace DL580G2 at same performance?
And, is there any reference which technically compares such servers?
Any help will be appreciated.
Pymsh.

I can't provide any documentation, but if you put a DL380 G5 (1 or 2xQC) against a DL580 G2 (4xSingle Core) it will blow it out of the water. We were using the DL580 G2 as our higher end model and we've replaced all of these boxes with the DL380 G5, or we will with the G5 or DL380G6.

Look at TPC-C results:

DL580G2 85,554 (four CPUs)
DL380G5 138,979 (one QC CPU)
