There shold be not same system by physical size or number of sockets but same performance of the boxes. When I will be in possition to choose server for Oracle I will probably go through sizing and transaction number will be parametr showing the performance of the particular server. As far as I know 4 sockets POWER6 DualCore has the same performance as a single socket POWER7 8-core = 4x "smaller" box if possible to buy it:-) The comparison you publish is real non-sense and TCO is irrelevenat at all points of view. I am sorry. The rest is nice work. Jan - Jan Thu, 21 Oct 2010 18:14:20 +0100
