Latest TPC benchmark! 2050 tpsA SGI Challenge/Oracle

Latest TPC benchmark! SGI Challenge/Oracle7 2050 tpsA

I have come across some information that on a benchmark carried out by SGI (Silicon Graphics) and Oracle using Oracle7. Impressive stuff.

If you are interested, these are just some of the details

    SERVER:	SGI Challenge XL server
     RDBMS:	Oracle7
	TP:	Tuxedo
     Users:	20,840
Total cost:	US$11.1M
     tps-A:	2049.7
    $/tpsA:	US$5,433  Not cheap

How popular is this box around the world? It is a fairly new player in Australia.

PS: I have no relationship with SGI, am not a customer, own them nothing,

     have not been out with them for lunch, blah blah...

PPS: Highest tps-A to date is 3692 DEC RDB on a DEC AXP
