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 Netra SPARC T4-2 Server equipped with two SPARC T4 processors running at 2.85 GHz set a world record result of 454.52 SPECjvm2008 Peak ops/m on the SPECjvm2008 benchmark. This result surpassed the previous record, which was run on a similar product, Oracle's SPARC T4-2 server. This level of performance is 41% better than the SPARC T3-2 server and similar in performance to Oracle's SPARC T4-2 server. The Netra SPARC T4-2 server with hardware cryptography acceleration greatly increases performance with subtests using AES and RSA encryption ciphers. There are no SPECjvm2008 results published by IBM on POWER7 based systems.

The four-processors SPARC T4-4 Server bested the eight-processor per-core results of both IBM's Power7 and HP's ProLiant DL980 G7, achieving 205,792 QphH@3000GB with price/performance of $4.10/QphH@3000GB, 7% faster than the IBM Power 780 server with POWER7 processors (total of 32 cores) on the TPC-H @3000GB benchmark and 27% faster than the HP ProLiant DL980 G7 server with x86 processors. The SPARC T4-4 Server also outperformed its IBM and HP rivals in data loading and refresh function while achieving a peak IO rate from the Oracle database of 17 GB/sec and showing linear scaling from TPC-H @1000GB to TPC-H @3000GB.

In a recent press release Oracle announced a new performance record for its SPARC T4-4 server: a best-in-class TPC-H benchmark result at the three TB scale factor. Oracle Database 11g Release 2 and Oracle Solaris 11, running on a SPARC T4-4 server with four SPARC T4 3 GHz processors, achieved a stellar result of 205,792 QphH@3000GB with a price of $4.10/QphH@3000GB, over two times better performance per processor with 36 percent lower price per query (reported as $/QphH@3000GB) than IBM's most recent result by an eight processor Power 780 server running Sybase.

The SPARC T4-2 Server equipped with two SPARC T4 processors running at 2.85 GigaHertz (GHz) and using Oracle Solaris 11 and Oracle JDK 7 Update 2 set a world record of 454.25 SPECjvm2008 Peak ops/m on the SPECjvm2008 benchmark, a benchmark suite for measuring the performance of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE). This level of performance is 41% better than the mark set by the SPARC T3-2 Server. The hardware cryptography acceleration built into the SPARC T4-2 was found to greatly increase performance on subtests using AES and RSA encryption ciphers.
