Oracle's Sun Fire X4800 M2 server equipped with eight 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon Processor E7-8870 chips and 4TB RAM and 160 CPU threads obtained a result of 4,803,718 tpmC on the TPC-C benchmark with a price performance of $0.98/tpmC using the Oracle Linux OS with Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 and Oracle Database 11g Release 2 with partitioning. This result is 2.5x times better performance than the next 8-processor result, an IBM System p 570 equipped with POWER6 processors, and 3.1x times better price/performance than the 8-processor 4.7GHz POWER6 IBM System p 570.

Oracle’s Sun Fire X4800 M2, running Oracle Database 11g Release 2, achieved an x86 record of 4,803,718 transactions per minute (tpmC) with a price/performance of $.98/tpmC. The X4800 equipped with eight Intel Xeon E7-8870 processors and 4 Terabytes (TB) of Samsung’s Green DDR3 memory was nearly 3x faster than IBM's eight-processor result for a p570 and nearly 60 percent faster than the best DB2 result on IBM’s x86 server. The Sun Fire X4800 M2 delivered nearly 3x better price per TPC-C transaction than a 64-processor HP Superdome server and over 2.65x faster than HP’s best Proliant DL580 G7 score.

Oracle's new single processor Netra SPARC T4-1 and dual processor SPARC T4-2 servers, and the Netra SPARC T4-1B server module, give telecommunication service providers infrastructure built to meet the needs of today's market. These servers provide up to 5x better performance over the previous generation of servers. In recent tests running Oracle Communications ASAP on the new Netra SPARC T4-2 server, each SPARC T4 processor delivered 7.7x the performance of the Intel Itanium 1.7 GHz processor in an HP server. Combined with Oracle Solaris, these new Netra systems can reduce TCO and drastically shorten service development and deployment times.

Oracle reports that its Oracle Database 11g Standard Edition One and Oracle Linux with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2, running on a Cisco UCS C250 M2 Extended-Memory Rack-Mount Server with two Intel Xeon X5690 3.46 GHz processors, achieved 1,053,100 transactions per minute (tpmC) with a price/performance of $0.58/tpmC.com/us/corporate/press/1425234. This is in contrast to the nearly 11 percent lower per tpmC of the nearest competition -- the HP ProLiant DL380 G7 -- on a configuration utilizing identical Intel processors and memory capacity.
