Latest round-up of SPARC News

Mike Mulkey form Oracle has put together a great collection of benchmarks and testimonials from ISV’s and Analyst’s showing the real-world performance of the SPARC M7 and S7 CPU’s.

In Mike’s words:

“Our ISV partners are beginning to ask us if we ARE kidding, as we continue to produce a plethora of evidence demonstrating the performance, security, throughput and many other advantages of Oracle’s SPARC M7 systems, including the newly announced SPARC S7 systems. Hearing things like 2x more cores, 2x more threads, 4x larger cache per core, 4x more I/O bandwidth… can tend to lose their meaning after awhile.

Does combining software and silicon really amount to that big of a difference!?
And just what do those “x” factors equate to when it comes to real world application of these new SPARC M7/S7 systems?

We’ll let you be the judge —
here is a compilation of what evidence we have to date.”
