Performance

vSMP Foundation standalone enables the creation of an four-socket platform based on Intel Xeon processors.  vSMP Foundation leverages the traditionally higher-performing volume-server processors to provide higher performance at significantly reduced cost.

vSMP Foundation leverages parallel access to the RAM of each of the two system-boards to provide scalable memory-bandwidth.  The scalable memory bandwidth, combined with Intel’s 45-nm dual- and quad-core Xeon DP product and 1600MHz front-side bus provide better performance than four-socket AMD server systems.


Measured Results

SPEC CPU2006 (dual-core)

SPEC CPU2006 demonstrates the performance advantage of vSMP Foundation over four-socket (dual-core) AMD Opteron systems.  vSMP Foundation leverages Intel latest generation 45nm processors as well as 1600MHz front-side bus that is used in parallel on both system-boards.

The AMD Opteron Performance results are the best published on spec.org web-site by April 1st, 2008.

SPEC CPU2006 (quad-core)

SPEC CPU2006 demonstrates the performance advantage of vSMP Foundation over four-socket (quad-core) AMD Opteron (Barcelona) systems.  vSMP Foundation leverages Intel latest generation 45nm processors as well as 1600MHz front-side bus that is used in parallel on both system-boards.

The AMD Opteron Performance results are the best published on spec.org web-site by April 1st, 2008.  These results removed from spec.org due to platform availability.
