Pravin, good find on that benchmark, but here's a couple remarks. 1) don't forget that there is plenty of room for software performance improvements in SAP. That's what Itanium is all about. The Compaq score is a lower bound. 2) you shouldn't assume that a Xeon would scale 100% from 2-way to 4-way. Few, if any, applications behave like that. 3) there seems to be a wide range of scores between configs with similar processors. The Fujitsu 1.6GHz Xeon MP gets a score of 348, which is more than 10% faster than an IBM submission with the same type and number of processors. So chances are good that a well designed Itanium II system could get a 10% or greater edge over one with mediocre specifications. wbmw
