Paul and All: This article doesn't say a word about AMD. Nuff said: Oracle, SCO and Unisys Set New World Record TPC-C Result on 8-CPU Intel-Based Servers 41,085.4 Transactions Per Minute Achieved at a Cost of $37.19/tpmC On The TPC-C Benchmark, Outperforming All Other 8-CPU Results on Intel-Based Servers REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., SANTA CRUZ, Calif., and BLUE BELL, Pa., Dec. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL), SCO (Nasdaq: SCOC), and Unisys (NYSE: UIS) today announced a new world record TPC-C result on 8-CPU Intel architecture. Using the industry standard TPC-C workload, this world record benchmark was achieved by running the Oracle8i(TM) database on the Unisys e-@ction ES2085R Enterprise Server combined with the UnixWare(R) 7 operating system. This benchmark clearly demonstrates the highest result ever on an 8-CPU system using Intel(R) Pentium(R) III Xeon(TM) processors. Outperforming all other 8-CPU results on Intel-based servers, Oracle, SCO and Unisys achieved world record results of 41,085.4 tpmC (transactions per minute), at a cost of $37.19/tpmC on the TPC-C benchmark. This result far exceeds the price/performance of previous eight-processor TPC-C benchmarks on RISC-based UNIX systems. "This result shows the kind of performance scaling that can be achieved with Intel-based 8-way servers, featuring the Pentium III Xeon processor," said Jerry Budelman, general manager of Intel's Server Component Division. "Intel-based servers deliver the best performance at the lowest price point for UNIX platforms and the best performance of any 8-way platform running Oracle applications. Intel offers and will continue to offer the platform of choice for UNIX transaction processing." "This record-breaking Oracle8i benchmark is the best any vendor has achieved on an 8-CPU, Intel Pentium III Xeon processor," said Ray Wong, vice president, Platform Technologies Division, Oracle Corp. "This benchmark result further demonstrates Oracle's continued leadership in the OLTP marketplace, and the unbeatable performance of the Oracle, SCO, Unisys and Intel combination."
