IBM is reporting that its IBM Power 795 has achieved the highest result ever published on the two-tier SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) standard application benchmark -- with a result of 70,032 SAP SD benchmark users. IBM boasts that its 128-core Power 795 handled 79 percent more users than a 256-core Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 (Oracle's largest system), and 75 percent more users than the 128-core Oracle parallel result published in September running four clustered 32-core Sun Fire X4470 servers with Intel's Xeon X7560 chip.
 
In case you were wondering, the IBM Power 795 can support up to 256 cores.
