Intel TPC benchmarks show Linux as leader

Posted by timothy on from the what-about-going-to-eleven dept.

    It is a 64 Ia64 I2 running Windows that does about 606K transactions per minute which is a winner, a 32 IBM Power4 running AIX and DB2 (most likely with large pages, 128MB page size) gets about 600K so does the 32 IA62 running Linux. So it looks like windows suck in terms of transactions per minute.
