UltraSPARC T2 - SPEComp floating-point single-chip record
Tuesday Oct 09, 2007
The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 server delivers the best performance on the SPEC OMPM2001 benchmark for a single chip. These results were run on the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 server using the 1.4GHz UltraSPARC T2 processor. These results also apply to the electronically equivalent Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 server.
The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 server running the UltraSPARC T2 at 1.4 GHz, beat all single chip scores running SPECompM2001 with a score of 16208.
The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 running at 1.4 GHz beat the best IBM single chip result (POWER5+) by 98%. Oh but what about IBM POWER6??? IBM has not published any POWER6 based results in this price range. Given Sun's results will they every publish?
The Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 server, powered by a single UltraSPARC T2 processor, topped the result of the two-socket AMD quad-core 2 GHz processor result running SPECompM2001.
