Big news today at IDF SF08...Intel Exective VP, Pat Gelsinger delivered his keynote address here in San Francisco, Moscone Center. Innovation is always a big topic at IDF and today is no exception. Intel announced today new world record performance for the XEON 7400-series processor, code-named "Dunnington". And just what are these world records you ask? Watch the video for stunning results from Fujitsu Siemens (SPECint), SUN (SPECjbb, Dell (TPC-E), HP (4S TPC-C, SQL Server) and IBM with an Industry First 1.2 Million TPC-C result on Intel Architecture. Enjoy the video!

Just a few years ago i was putting up slides with 32way risc platforms barely breaking the 1million TPC/C barrier. Now you can achieve this result with 8 Xeon processors, and at nearly half the cost per tpm of the nearest competition. If anyone wondered if Xeon can handle their big ERP/CRM workloads, the answer is yes. Anyone deploying MP systems that aren't Xeon 7400 must not be paying attention. I can't wait to see the impact SSDs have on these numbers. This is a great time to be Intel.
