SAN FRANCISCO, April 25, 2003 - Intel President and COO Paul Otellini today revealed the world's highest-ever single-system transaction processing performance, achieved on an HP server with the next Itanium(r) 2 processor (code-named "Madison"), Microsoft(r) Windows(r) Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and Microsoft(r) SQL Server(tm) 2000 (64-bit).
Speaking to attendees at the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 launch today, Otellini revealed that HP, Microsoft and Intel have achieved the world's highest-ever single-system TPC-C benchmark. TPC-C is an industry-standard benchmark for measuring a system's processing performance based on an enterprise transaction model for handling orders. The result was accomplished on a non-clustered 64-processor HP server based on Intel's forthcoming Itanium 2 processor 6M (Madison), Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and SQL Server 2000 (64-bit). The result of 658,277 transactions per minute (tpmC) exceeds the previous record, set by a 128-processor RISC system.**
In addition, NEC, Microsoft and Intel announced yesterday a TPC-C result of 514,034.72 tpmC with a 32-processor NEC Express 5800/1320Xc server based on the Intel Itanium 2 processor 6M (Madison) running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and SQL Server 2000 (64-bit). The result is the world's best performance for a non-clustered, 32-processor server, and is the best price/performance value among the top ten non-clustered systems ($11.50/tpmC).***
