During recent testing IBM have posted such strong results that they have actually set a new record for 4 socket performance. This was whilst showcasing IBM’s exclusive eX5 architecture.
Combining with Intel’s new Xeon E7 processor the system also posted world record price/performance results. The server achieved 2,862.61 tpsE (transactions per second E) at $129.66USD / tpsE. The x3850 X5’s performance is more than 16% faster than that of the HP ProLiant DL580 G7 and therefore posted price/performance results of half that of the HP system. The lowest ever published for the TPC-E benchmark.
The x3850 X5 achieved this tpsE result using Microsoft® SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition and Microsoft Windows® Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 Edition. The x3850 X5 was configured with four Intel Xeon E7-4870 processors at 2.40GHz with 30MB shared L3 cache per processor.
