RE: Going multicore, Sun Fire T2000 (8 cores)


Well, the 6500 isn't any more reliable than the T2000, and you can get a 6500 
these days for less than $20k.  I'm not sure whether its going to be faster 
than the 6500, since each of the cores on the niagra chip is "less" of a 
processor than a normal one, but there should be little difference in 
reliability.

Thanks,
Matt

I'm doing this right now. 1 cpu 8 cores 4 threads per core. Oracle sees it as 
32 cpu. To me it looks like a big single point of failure. This is supposed to 
replace our E6500. I think the E6500 cost us close to a million bucks 
(including T3 misc hardware). What's the price of a T2000 a couple of grand. 
The decision on server was not mine to make.

  Hello,

  We are currently evaluating hw replacement: Sun Fire 440 4 processors -> 
T2000 8 cores.

  I'd appreciate if anybody could share his/her experience of moving DBs from 
Sun Fire 440 to T2000, or benchmark comparison for Oracle9i, 10g?

  Thanks a ton.
