There is the website of www.tpc.org

HOWEVER (AHA!!), you should be warned that Microsoft will *ALWAYS* spend the
necessary cash to put together a big enough cluster to get the highest
score.  So, I can tell you, without looking at the site for months now, that
Microsoft will have the highest score.

If you can, try to steer your management away from too much emphasis on
benchmarks.  A system either has satisfactory performance for your
application, or it does not.  If the performance is satisfactory, then
factors such as long-term stability, ability to upgrade without pain, vendor
support, third-party support, technical support, etc. are VERY important and
should not get lost in the benchmark shuffle.

I've not had to deal with hardware vendors for a few years now.  But in the
past, Sun's vendor support and third-party support were vastly superior to
others even when Sun's benchmarks weren't the best.  Sun does a pretty good
job of allowing you to move to a later version of the OS without breaking a
bunch of stuff (which Windows does NOT do!).
