More links of the IBM server and TPC benchmarks.

Compare that to similar 4-way systems.

Xeon MP 1.6GHz 55138.6 TpmC @ 6.98 US$/TpmC
Alpha EV68 1.0GHz 50117.0 TpmC @ 15.24 US$/TpmC
PIII Xeon 900MHz 37100.5 TpmC @ 5.85 US$/TpmC

Some real Xeon based solutions are finally hitting the server market. This should give Intel even more of a lead on the competition, even against high performance RISC solutions. I'm eager to see how McKinley performs under these conditions.

Merely a placeholder until IBM can ship their Hammer servers !

wbmw,

o Number-one performance for a 4-way server on the TPC-C online transaction processing benchmark: outperforming the Compaq ProLiant DL580 by more than 40%

The DL580 uses 900 MHz, 2 MB PIII Xeons (or 700 MHz). Assuming IBM is quoting against the best case of 900 MHz, 2 MB ones for Compaq, that 40% is not a bad increase. Intel is flooding new server products out there just as that market is opening up again.
