If you are looking for high TPC-B numbers to compare against, then the highest TPC-B result is from Silicon Graphics Computer Systems.

We achieved 1786.20 tps-b at a cost of $1,610/tps. This was on a 28 CPU Challenge XL server running Oracle 7.0.15.4.1

The benchmark was done on a single 28 cpu SMP machine. It did NOT use Oracle
Parallel Server. It was NOT on a cluster.
