UltraSPARC T2 Plus: Designed for Web, App, & Database
Friday Apr 11, 2008
To see under the covers and the design of the amazing UltraSPARC T2 Plus based systems check out this great blog: http://blogs.sun.com/deniss/date/20080410.
More postings to come on this great product. Remember it is delivered-system-performance that is key.
A couple of warnings about the results of others:
- Check the prices for the configs as benchmarked (especially watch up out for entry level pricing as realistic configs on competitors can cost 2x to 10x more when configured with the fastest processors and full fast memory)
- Watch out for performance per widget metrics. Some things you can see (servers) some things you can't see (cores). Especially as some cores are extremely expensive and this totally throws of any advantage of per-core performance.
- Watch for benchmarks that aren't published (I'm still waiting for IBM p570 4-core & 8-core stream performance or LMbench.
- Watch out for 1.xGhz published on one benchmark and 2.xGHz published for performance.
