For single-stream processing you'll find that T5240 is right at 1/5th the throughput of a Nehalem EP processor. When you ramp up the workload to saturation of both sockets you'll find the throughput of a T5240 is close to on-par with Nehalem EP (2s). ________________________________ From: "przemolicc@xxxxxxxxx" <przemolicc@xxxxxxxxx> To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Fri, August 27, 2010 12:14:13 AM Subject: Re: Considerations to choose SUN server for Oracle The first line of T-series servers (T2000) indeed was a disaster for Oracle workload. But the next line: T5240, T5440 was much better. If you have many parallel tasks (typical OLTP workload) T* they can be much,much faster then your E25K. But if you have rather batch-like tasks (single process) their performance is not so good ...
