Thursday March 23, 2006 HEAnet benchmarks their Try/Buy T2000
Colm MacCarthaigh, of world's busiest webserver (probably) fame, has posted his Niagara T2000 benchmark results, comparing T2000 against Dell Xeon and Itanium (see also his earlier first results looking at single-thread I/O and scheduler latency).
The summary is that the T2000 gets more than twice the peak requests/sec (5718 req/s Vs 2712 req/s), with significantly better latency under load, for just shy of half the power consumption and at less than half the price of the Itanium 
. Also cheaper than the Xeon, which the T2000 completely demolishes on concurrent performance.
Corrections: Fix name of HEAnet, spelling of Colm's surname and change 'fastest' to 'busiest'
