T5440 World RecordjAppServer Single Application Server
From BM Seer – Unofficial thoughts from an anonymous Sun employee

One Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server with four UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors at 1.4GHz, delivered a single system World Record result of 6334.86 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard. The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 consumed an average of 1578 Watts of power to obtain this result for a power-performance rating of 0.25 Watts/JOP.

This benchmark result proves that the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server using the UltraSPARC T2 Plus processor performs as an outstanding J2EE application server as well as an Oracle 11g OLTP database server. This result used a Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server (four 1.4 GHz UltraSPARC T2 Plus chips) in the database tier to obtain this World Record result.
