SPARC vs. RS/6000 - which has better performance/processor?

2001-05-10 Thread Chris Rezek
We are looking at new servers for our Oracle8i OLTP back-end. An IBM sales guy claimed that an RS/6000 is 'twice as fast' per processor running Oracle8i in an OLTP environment - a 6 processor RS/6000 is just as fast as a 12 processor SPARC. What do y'all think about this? Chris -- Please see

Making this call on processor alone is not a good thing. A lot of factors go into Oracle performance. What is the I/O comparison between the machines, amount of RAM, backplane configuration, etc.? A sales drone just spouting off on processor speed (true or not) doesn't give you a complete
