Intel Corp (INTC)

Fingolfen -

Given that the fastest hammer out in serious public view at this point is a 1.4GHz part with underwhelming benchmarks, I honestly don't know that Intel's the company that needs to do the catching up at this point

There is a new benchmark out for Hammer that shows an impressive SAP score. I'll attach an English translation.

Already early prototypes of the AMD of Opteron processor knew in four-fold systems the met competition -- all the same whether 32 or 64-bittig -- with the SAP SD bench mark in the shade place, and with only 1.6 GHz clock (2 GHZ are planned) with the Launch. With the SAP R/3 Sales and distribution bench mark (SD) becomes typical Business transactions (orders to give up, etc. corrects.) accomplished in a large data base. As measure serves the number of the SD users, who can be served within a given time interval.

Bench mark for different hardware configurations, approximately for "2 animal 4way servers" are led individually. For this for example HP for the Itanium indicates 2 in the rx5670 470 SD user . First, still few optimized attempts a few weeks ago were with the quadruple Opteron system with R/3 and DB2-Datenbank under 64-Bit-Linux already with 550 SD Usern, which were served of middle period of reply with 1.9 seconds, about 600 SD Usern lay the time still scarcely over 2 seconds. In the meantime the 600-SD-User-Marke was probably exceeded. No bad prospects thus for AMDs entrance with servers with Opteron processors. ( as /c't)
