Hey lookiee, an ON topic post!!!!!!! Big scoop from L'INQ: HP Itanium systems benchmarks are the business Silk purse from a sow's ear By Staff at the Newsdesk: Wednesday 16 April 2003, 14:21 HP HAS RELEASED some performance information on its Madison based severs. The 6MB L3 cache Itanium 2 running at 1.5GHz is a bit of all-right according to the firm. It says that many of the latest results beat previous bests by 40%. It also claims those previous bests were held by Itanium 2 based HP servers. The benchmarks in question are Specweb99_SSL and SAP Standard Application SD. An HP quad-processor system managed 3,344 simultaneous connections running on HP-UX 11i. Pretty impressive. HP claims that equivalent IBM and Sun systems couldn't even manage half that speed. The SAP benchmark ran 860 simulated users with 1.97second average response time. Again, HP is claiming that this stomps all over the opposition. It could be that the Itanium is finally starting to prove its worth. If anyone was going to make a silk purse from the sow's ear that was the original Itanic, the combination of HP and Intel were likely to be the ones. µ
