In this video, two Intel engineers, Sudip Chahal and Shesha Krishnapura, talk about their findings in the comparison of high-end Intel Xeon processor 5500 series with the low-end ones. Sudip handled tests of the microprocessor series in enterprise tasks and Shesha oversaw testing using Intel’s own electronic design automation workloads. The results: high-end microprocessors doing EDA workloads saw a significant reduction in TCO. In enterprise workloads, performance jumped without TCO rising very much.

Intel and HP recently announced the world’s best four-socket TPC-C benchmark result — a showing of 634,000 transactions per minute. HP’s Aaron Spurlock joins Noe Garcia from Intel to discuss the specifics of how the HP Proliant DL580 G5 server with Intel Xeon 7400-series processors stacks up against world-class competition.
Also, at Fall IDF in San Francisco, Intel also announced that the Xeon 7400-series processors posted record performance results, marking the first time that the industry has seen 1.2 million database transactions per minute on an 8-socket IBM server.

This past Fall, Intel announced that the Xeon 7400-series processors posted record performance results, marking the first time that the industry has seen 1.2 million database transactions per minute on an 8-socket IBM server. It was announced by Intel Executive Vice President Pat Gelsinger at IDF 2008, and it was the topic of many spirited industry conversations, as well. In this video podcast, Intel’s Mike Moreno speaks with IBM’s Robert Zuber about what the news means for IT managers, and what IBM is doing to help reduce the size of the IT footprint in the enterprise. They also mention new benchmarks around database and virtualization.

Intel’s Xeon 7400-series processors posted record performance results, in time for this announcement from Intel Executive Vice President Pat Gelsinger at IDF 2008, in San Francisco. This podcast includes the IDF announcement of those Xeon performance results, which marked the first time the industry has seen 1.2 million database transactions per minute on an 8-slot IBM server.
The Intel Xeon 7400 series (Dunnington), is the “final member of the Penryn family” — a family that Gelsinger notes shares Intel’s 45nm technology.

Intel’s introduction of 45nm technology last year brought with it new levels of innovation and data center efficiency. With a trend toward bigger servers using virtualization, however, comes a need for increased performance headroom. In this podcast, Intel’s Chris Peters discusses some of the innovations brought by 45nm, as well as what’s next in virtualization.
Chris also spoke earlier this year about the impact that the 45nm manufacturing process is having on Intel’s Xeon processors.
Chris continues to blog and write about his work at Intel, including answers to come frequently asked questions on 45nm technology.
