Hardinfo2 benchmark test for vaious systems (sparc, intel, power)
Not exactly an "Apples to Apples" type of comparison, but such results
may be useful to others. Also, not meant as one machine or operating
system is best. Simply giving others some idea what to expect
performance wise. FYI, I enjoy working with these systems and look
forward to future fixes that will improve performance/stability even
more. :-)
A) IBM 8284-22A POWER8 (architected), altivec supported
20 cores; 160 threads (two cpus)
Debian Linux 6.16.3+deb14-powerpc64le-64k (ppc64le)
B) Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4
28 cores; 56 threads (two cpus)
Manjaro Linux 6.16.4-2-MANJARO (x86_64)
C) Oracle S7-2
16 cores; 128 threads (two cpus)
Debian Linux 6.17.0-rc4+ (sparc64)
D) Oracle T5140
24 cores; 96 threads (two cpus)
Debian Linux 6.16.3+deb14-sparc64-smp (sparc64)
E) Oracle T5120
16 cores; 64 threads (single cpu)
Debian Linux 6.12.38+deb13-sparc64-smp (sparc64)
*Notes:
E1) Didn't test using "Debian Linux 6.16.3+deb14-sparc64-smp (sparc64)"
because of a kernel panic.
E2) Didn't use Adrian's updated test kernel.

HARDINFO2 Benchmarks: (Higher is better)
