John:

There is no such animal. HP doesn't benchmark the 3000 with standard
benchmarks like TPC, etc. Plus, most folks are running IMAGE, so there
is no database comparison that can be easily made. Even though an older
Oracle version runs on the 3K, I don't know of any performance
comparison there either. You used to be able to match up some 9000
models with 3000 models, but that didn't tell you much-- it would be
like comparing a PC running Linux with a PC running Windows. The opsys
is different, so it's really apples and oranges without a standardized
benchmark. The 3k has always been sold on the recommendation of a
specific software vendor who said: this is the best platform for my
application. If that isn't good enough, the customer ends up somewhere
else.

If you want a chart comparing just 3000s to each other-- you can find
one on our web site under "downloads".
