1 Based on testing by Dell Labs. Dell PowerEdge C6145: SPECfp_rate2006 of 1310 in 2U as compared to HP ProLiant DL980 G7: SPECfp_rate2006 of 1080 in 8U. SPEC® and the benchmark name SPECfp® are registered trademarks of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation. Competitive benchmarks stated above reflect results published or submitted to www.spec.org as of Feb. 14, 2011. The comparison presented above is based on the best performing 8-chip x86 servers. For the latest SPECfp_rate2006 benchmark results, visit http://www.spec.org/cpu2006. Actual performance will vary based on configuration, usage and manufacturing variability.
2 33.9 percent performance boost on integer computing throughput was observed on SPECint*_rate_base2006 when comparing the current Intel® Xeon® Processor E5640 (2.67 GHz, 4-Core, 80W, binaries compiled with Intel® Compiler 11.1) to the new Intel® Xeon® Processor E5649 (2.53 GHz, 6-Core, 80W, binaries compiler with Intel® Compiler 12.0).
3 67 percent gain in performance compared to servers with the previous generation Intel® Xeon® 5500 series processor was observed on Black-Scholes* v5.0 when comparing the prior generation Intel® Xeon® Processor X5570 (2.93 GHz, 4-Core, 95W) to the new Intel® Xeon® Processor X5690 (3.46 GHz, 6-Core, 130 W).
Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.
