08/09/2006 World Record among all 2-socket x86-compatible systems on SPECfp_rate2000 benchmark
Based on real world user applications, the SPEC CPU2000 suite measures the integer and floating point performance of the processor, memory and compiler on the tested system, effectively providing a comparative measure of compute intensive performance across the widest range of hardware. On the floating point throughput component of this benchmark, the Sun Fire X4500 server demonstrates SPECfp_rate2000 score of 103, which is the new 2-socket x86 world record. The Sun Fire X4500 server integrates the state of the art server and storage technologies by combining a four way x64 server with up to 24 TB of storage in compact 4U of rack space. This world record confirms the no trade-offs nature of this breakthrough design that delivers remarkable performance and underscores the architectural advantages of AMD\'s Direct Connect Architecture. The result characterizes the computing abilities of the Sun Fire X4500 server that utilizes the advanced features of the Solaris 10 Operating System, such as Solaris ZFS (zettabyte file system), and allows for comparisons with competing solutions that are based on Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 software, such as HP ProLiant DL380 and IBM xSeries 346 servers. The Sun Fire X4500 server beats the SPECfp_rate2000 results of 80.4 and 33.3, posted by aforementioned HP and IBM servers, by 28% and 209% percent respectively.

08/09/2006 World Record among all 2-socket x86-compatible systems on SPECfp_rate2000 benchmark
08/09/2006 World Record among all 2-socket x86-compatible systems on SPECfp_rate2000 benchmark
Based on real world user applications, the SPEC CPU2000 suite measures the integer and floating point performance of the processor, memory and compiler on the tested system, effectively providing a comparative measure of compute intensive performance across the widest range of hardware. On the floating point throughput component of this benchmark, the Sun Fire X4500 server demonstrates SPECfp_rate2000 score of 103, which is the new 2-socket x86 world record. The Sun Fire X4500 server integrates the state of the art server and storage technologies by combining a four way x64 server with up to 24 TB of storage in compact 4U of rack space. This world record confirms the no trade-offs nature of this breakthrough design that delivers remarkable performance and underscores the architectural advantages of AMD\'s Direct Connect Architecture. The result characterizes the computing abilities of the Sun Fire X4500 server that utilizes the advanced features of the Solaris 10 Operating System, such as Solaris ZFS (zettabyte file system), and allows for comparisons with competing solutions that are based on Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 software, such as HP ProLiant DL380 and IBM xSeries 346 servers. The Sun Fire X4500 server beats the SPECfp_rate2000 results of 80.4 and 33.3, posted by aforementioned HP and IBM servers, by 28% and 209% percent respectively.
