PRIMERGY retakes the top score for mono-processor servers

Blistering performance of quad-core mono-socket PRIMERGY TX150 S6 redefines Benchmark SPECjbb® 2005 for industry-standard servers


Munich, February 29, 2008 —

The new PRIMERGY TX150 S6 tower server has set a new industry performance record for mono-processor servers in the widely-recognized SPECjbb2005 benchmark tests. The TX150 S6, ideal for use as a departmental server and for virtualization, ships with the new Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® X3360 processor from March 2008.

Independent testing body SPEC ® , the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation, accepted the best-in-class result for Fujitsu Siemens Computers following lab tests for the PRIMERGY TX150 S6 with 8 GB of memory, one 160 GB SATA disk drive, running two instances of the BEA JRockit® 6.0 P27.4.0 (64-bit) Java Virtual Machine on Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 Edition SP1. With a result of 172,722 business operations per second (SPECjbb2005 bops) and 86,361 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM, the PRIMERGY server from Fujitsu Siemens Computers retakes the top score from Dell.
