Early TPC-C and H reports for Shanghai relative to Barcelona and Dunnington
(SQLblog.com - The SQL Server blog spot on the web)Below are the first performance numbers for the new AMD 45nm Opteron (Shanghai) relative to other recent AMD and Intel Xeon results.
4-way TPC-C
Opteron 8360 Quad-core 2.5GHz (Barcelona) 2M L2, 471,883 (DL585G2)
Opteron 8384 Quad-core 2.7GHz (Shanghai) 6M L2, 579,814 (DL585G2)
Xeon 7350 Quad-core 2.93GHz (Tigerton) 2x4M L2, 407,079 (DL580G5)
Xeon 7460 Six-core 2.66GHz (Dunnington) 16M L3, 634,825 (DL580G5)
Xeon 7460 Six-core 2.66GHz (Dunnington) 16M L3, 684,508 (x3850M2)
Both Opteron TPC-C systems have 256GB memory, 700 disk drives, so the Shanghai is running at lower memory per tpm-C and lower disk per tpm-C. Still, the performance gain from Barcelona (65nm) to Shanghai (45nm) is 23% for 8% higher frequency. For reference...
