Thread: opportunity to benchmark a quad core Xeon
I have the opportunity to benchmark a system is based on Supermicro 6015B-8V. It has 2x Quad Xeon E5320 1.86GHZ, 4GB DDR2 533, 1x 73GB 10k SCSI. http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/6015/SYS-6015B-8V.cfm We can add more RAM and drives for testing purposes. Can someone suggest what benchmarks with what settings would be desirable to see how this system performs. I don't believe I've seen any postgres benchmarks done on a quad xeon yet. -- Jeff Frost, Owner <jeff@frostconsultingllc.com> Frost Consulting, LLC http://www.frostconsultingllc.com/ Phone: 650-780-7908 FAX: 650-649-1954

We've done our "standard" benchmark on a dual X5355: http://tweakers.net/reviews/661 Verdict is that for a price/performance-ratio you're better off with a 5160, but in absolute performance it does win.

I'm curious how the dual quad core Intels compare to quad dual core opteron. -- Jeff Frost, Owner <jeff@frostconsultingllc.com> Frost Consulting, LLC http://www.frostconsultingllc.com/ Phone: 650-780-7908 FAX: 650-649-1954
