Baseline platform: Intel server platform with two 64-bit Intel Xeon processor 3.80 GHz with 2M L2 Cache, 800 FSB, 8x1 GB DDR2-400 memory, 1 hard drive, 1 power supply, Microsoft Windows* Server 2003 Ent. SP1, Oracle JRockit* build

P27.4.0-windows-x86_64 run with 2 JVM instances.

New platform: Intel server platform with two six-core Intel

Xeon

processor X5670, 2.93 GHz, 12MB L3 cache, 6.4QPI, 12 GB memory (6x2 GB DDR3-1333), 1 hard drive, 1 power supply, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 64 bit SP2, Oracle JRockit*

Intel comparison replacing 20 5-year-old single-core Intel

Xeon

processor 3.33 GHz-based servers with one new Intel Xeon processor X7560-based server. Costs have been estimated based on internal Intel analysis and are provided for informational

purposes only.

Based on comparison between 2S Single Core Intel

Xeon

3.80 with 2M L2 Cache and 2S Intel

Xeon

X5670-based servers. Calculation includes analysis based on performance, power, cooling, electricity rates, operating system annual license costs

and estimated server costs. This assumes 8kW racks, $0.10 per kWh, cooling costs are 2x the server power consumption costs, operating system license cost of $900/year per server, per server cost of $7200 based on estimated list prices and esti-

mated server utilization rates. All dollar ﬁgures are approximate. Performance and power comparisons are based on estimated server side java benchmark results (Intel Corporation Jan 2010). Platform power was estimated during the steady state window of

the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared to baseline was 15x.
