White Paper ⏐Performance Report PRIMERGY TX150 S6 Version: 5.1, November 2008

As you can see the most energy efficient configuration does not consume the lowest power. It is still about 108% more

efficient compared to the least energy efficient configuration. The configuration with the Xeon E3120 processor has the

lowest power consumption. Although the best configuration with the Xeon X3360 processor does not deliver the highest

throughput in ssj_ops and does not have the lowest power consumption, it achieves the highest benchmark score of

1,124 overall ssj_ops/watt.

The other results are important too, as they show the dependencies between the configurations and the efficiency. This

information should give some hints about the power consumption and efficiency that can be expected from real world

configurations used in customer installations.
