Shanghai HE Summary:
* Up to 40% higher performance and performance per watt than Low-Power Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor Model x347 HE (1.9GHz)-based servers.
* Up to 33% higher performance per watt than Low-Power Intel Xeon processor Model L5420-based servers, in similarly configured servers.
* Up to 40% higher Floating Point Throughput (SPECfp_rate) performance than Low-Power Intel Xeon-based servers.
* Competitive Integer Throughput (SPECint_rate) performance to Low-Power Intel Xeon-based servers.
* Superior Java Server (SPECjbb) performance to 80W Quad-Core Intel Xeon-based servers and 130W Hex-Core Intel Xeon-based servers
SPECint_rate and SPECjbb are good indicators of performance in Cloud Computing applications. SPECpower is a good indicator of performance per watt in Cloud Computing applications.
Shanghai SE Summary:
* Up to 25% higher performance than Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor Model x360 SE (2.5GHz)-based servers.
* Up to 38% higher Floating Point Throughput (SPECfp_rate) performance than Intel Xeon-based servers.
* Competitive Integer Throughput (SPECint_rate) performance to Intel Xeon-based servers.
* Superior Java Server (SPECjbb) performance to Intel Xeon-based servers
