These results are interesting for one reason only - that Oracle, Informix, IBM and Sybase (original developers of MS sql*server) cant get close to these results on NT (hint..DOJ). So you can only get these results on a Microsoft OS and a Microsoft database - sounds like the typical Data Center environment - right? Its clear that Microsoft is investing a lot in TPC-C results and theyve goosed this number pretty high - then again we may have the same situation when NCR came out with a TPC-D result 3 times any existing result thru optimizing the queries on pre-sorted tables - soon after the TPC invalidated TPC-D saying that it failed to represent real world results - were probably headed that way with TPC-C - are customers fooled? Nothings changed - Benchmarks are just a game of how much your willing to invest and Microsoft will probably outspend everyone cause they have to compensate for something called a reliable product.
