Xeon 2.8GHz DP & 2.0GHz MP - Part I: Taking over the Enterprise

AnandTech Ad DB Performance 12X Load 25.2GB DB (Transactions per Second - Higher is Better) 4-way Intel Xeon MP 2.0GHz (Hyper-Threading) 4-way Intel Xeon MP 2.0GHz 2-way Intel Xeon MP 2.0GHz (Hyper-Threading) 2-way Intel Xeon DP 2.8GHz (Hyper-Threading) 2-way Intel Xeon DP 2.8GHz 2-way AMD Athlon MP 2200+ 2496.5 1938.4 1484.7 1433.9 1098.9 958.9 | 0 | 499 | 999 | 1498 | 1997 | 2497 | 2996

As we crank the load up to our highest level the 4-way Xeon MP separates itself from the rest of the pack with a 68 - 74% advantage over both 2-way setups.

Hyper-Threading also proves to be a worthy ally, giving the 4-way setup a 28% boost and both 2-way setups a 30% performance increase.

The performance trends continue to be what we saw earlier which provided us with more than enough information to draw some conclusions.
