Hewlett-Packard released new server speed-test results Wednesday that, for
the first time, compare its version of Unix with Windows on the company's
top-end Itanium server--and Unix came out ahead.
An HP Integrity Superdome with 64 Itanium 2 6M "Madison" processors posted a
score of 824,000 transactions per minute on the Transaction Processing
Performance Council's widely watched TPC-C test of a single computer running
a busy database. The speed beat not only IBM's previous No. 1 result of
764,000 in June but also the previous top result before that, in May, of
707,000 transactions from a system made up of an HP Superdome server running
Windows.
