Thread, more on IBM's record-setting TPC-C benchmark:

zdnet.com

IBM's DB2 Enterprise-Extended Edition 7.1 database leapt to the top of the Transaction Processing Performance Council's TPC-C database benchmark record list this week, providing compelling evidence for the stability and scalability of DB2 7.1 shared-nothing clusters deployed on large numbers of commodity servers.

As you all may already know, each Netfinity 8500R server used in the benchmark featured four Xeon (Cascades) processors at 700 MHz w/ 2 MB on-die cache. Also, each server was based off of Intel's Profusion 8-way chipset and platform.

Can't wait until Itanium and 460GX allows IBM (or anyone else) to blow the roof off of TPC-C once again.
