IBM p690 is world's most popular high end server; takes top spot with half the processors of HP Superdome
Hong Kong, February 18, 2004 -- Using half the number of chips of the competition, IBM today announced that an IBM eServer® p690 server system with 32 POWER4+™ microprocessors running on DB2® Universal Database™ v8.1 has shattered the world record for computing processing power. The 32-way IBM p690 server outperformed a more expensive HP Itanium 2-based Superdome system with 64 processors running an Oracle database, soaring past the million mark to process 1,025,486 transactions per minute.
The p690’s record-setting performance was achieved on the independent Transaction Processing Performance Council's TPC-C benchmark.
In addition to its unprecedented transactional prowess, the POWER-based p690 system, with a price/performance of $5.43/tpmC, also proved to be a much better value than the HP Itanium 2-based Superdome system which has a price/performance of $8.33/tpmC.
