Jim and thread - DELL finally gets benchmark results and availability for their 8-way server. Great results, looks like they solved the performance issue and also have a VERY competitive price. Product will be available on December 31st 1999 - so it shipped "in 1999" by a whisker. A lot of hard work went into producing this great result and getting DELL into the 8-way game. From the TPC site Dell has released a TPC-C result for an 8-way 550MHz Pentium III Xeon based PowerEdge 8450 server. This is the first ever TPC result for this product. The PowerEdge 8450 test result is configured with eight 550MHz Pentium III Xeon processors with 2MB L2 cache per CPU, 4GB of memory and 3,468GB of storage. Note that this configuration will not be available until December 31 1999. The configuration achieved a tpmC performance rating of 40,168.50 and a price/performance of $14.86 $/tpmC. By way of comparison with the new result as seen in the table below, Dell has taken a significant lead in price/performance over other 8-way results.
