Seriously? Industry’s Best 2-Socket Performance Result on New SPECjbb2015 Benchmark? Oracle's new SPARC T7-1 (1-socket) server with just a single SPARC M7 processor chip with 32-cores ECLIPSES the 2-socket Cisco UCS C220 M4 with 36-cores by a whopping 30% (120,603 max-jOPS) and a more astounding 90% faster on the critical-jOPS test (60,280 critical-jOPS), where SLA's matter.

The SPARC T7-1 system blows away the Cisco system with 47% to 2x faster/core for massive reduction in licensed per core Oracle JAVA based SW like Weblogic. And looking at list pricing with same RAM, the SPARC T7-1 is CHEAPER than the Cisco UCS C220 M4. Time to re-evaluate the performance messaging!
