45-nm-Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ Prozessor erzielt Rekordergebnisse bei wichtigen Industrie-Benchmarks im Bereich Online-Transaktionen, Web Hosting und Datenbank-Management
Sunnyvale, Calif. —18. Dezember 2008. AMD (NYSE: AMD) hat heute bekannt gegeben, dass pünktlich zum Höhepunkt des Weihnachtsgeschäfts eine Reihe von Benchmark-Ergebnissen die Stärke der Quad-Core Opteron™ Prozessorfamilie belegen. Die erweiterte Prozessorfamilie hat eine Reihe von Bestleistungen in verschiedenen Benchmark-Tests für Workload Management im Web Hosting, bei Online-Transaktionen und im Datenbank-Management erzielt. Damit wurde bestätigt, dass Opteron die führende Plattform für den Online-Handel und andere Unternehmen ist, die stark von Web-Transaktionen abhängen.
Zu den Ergebnissen gehört etwa der Oracle Small Configuration (Single Database) und Oracle Medium Configuration (Single Database) Benchmark. Quad-Core Opteron Systeme haben hier eine 14 Prozent höhere Leistung bei 2-Wege-Systemen und eine um 11 Prozent höhere Leistung bei den 4-Wege-Systemen im vergleich zu konkurrierenden Systemen.
Zusätzlich zeigen die Benchmarks, dass die Opteron Systeme nicht nur bei der puren Performance, sondern auch bei der Kosteneffizienz vorne liegen.

The New Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ Processor Delivers Competitive Advantage for E-Tailers During Holiday Shopping Season
45nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor achieves performance leadership on critical online business workloads
including Web serving, online transaction processing and database management
SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Dec. 18, 2008 — As the online holiday shopping season reaches its busiest time, the Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor family is now the ideal solution for e-tailers based on performance results AMD (AMD: NYSE) announced today. The enhanced Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor achieves the top performance spots on a wide range of Web serving, transaction processing and database management application workloads, demonstrating it is the leading platform for online retailers and other businesses that rely heavily on internet-based transactions.
“Performance and stability are part of our customer experience and a key to growing loyal and recurring customers. We are solely based on online sales so we must structure our IT operation around servers that are consistently able to scale with our growth and deliver performance to meet high traffic periods without increased latency,” said, Kelly Phillipps, CIO, Backcountry.com. “Backcountry.com is the best online retailer for core gear on the planet. AMD has provided the technology that helps us operate more effectively and efficiently and is an integral partner in delivering on our vision."
Backcountry.com is a leading e-tailer often recognized for its cutting-edge e-commerce models. It offers approximately 470 brands and more than 20,000 products. Its data center relies on Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor-based servers for web serving, real-time inventory management and for processing the 650 million page-views expected in 2009.
“Efficiencies and cost of ownership are key concerns for data center managers. Now, more than ever they are looking to lower their cost of ownership by deploying stable, scalable platforms for their market,” said Patrick Patla, vice president and general manager, Server Workstation Division, AMD. “In today’s evolving business environment, the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor provides outstanding performance per watt and delivers web-based businesses with performance leadership they need for next generation Web applications.”
Unparalleled Performance Leadership on Workloads that Matter Most
Numerous systems currently on the market from leading OEMs that feature the new Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor have achieved top benchmark scores in areas critical to online businesses. These systems include 2-, 4-, and 8-socket servers, demonstrating the performance scalability that AMD customers can leverage for their current and future computing requirements.
· The Oracle Small Configuration (Single Database) and Oracle Medium Configuration (Single Database) benchmarks measure support for a large number of concurrent transactions on multiple online applications. Systems based on the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor deliver 14 percent more performance than the competition for two-socket servers and 11 percent better performance than the competition for four-socket servers.¹
· SPECjbb®2005 is a widely recognized measurement of server-side Java application performance. Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor-based servers have demonstrated superior performance from 14 percent compared to competitive 2-socket systems to 36 percent on 4-socket systems, to the best 8-processor result with a score of 1037851 bops.²
· SPECweb®2005 measures the performance of web servers and AMD Opteron processor-based servers hold the top performance record for 2-socket systems, with a 27 percent advantage over a similarly configured competitive solution.³
Even more important to businesses today, beyond raw performance, is the combination of performance and cost efficiency in the datacenter, an area where the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor has consistently delivered for small, medium and enterprise-class businesses.
· An HP ProLiant system showed the best value for performance among 4P systems with $0.96 price per transaction, a 13 percent advantage over competing x86-based systems on the TPC-C Value benchmark.?
· The 8P HP ProLiant system delivered a $3.24 price/performance score, a 40 percent improvement compared to competing x86 systems based on the 300 GB TPC-H Value benchmark.?
· The SPECpower_ssj2008 benchmark measures the energy efficiency, power and performance characteristics of server-side Java workloads. The new Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor is behind the world record holding score for 4P servers with a 40 percent greater advantage over the competitive solution.?
