Introduction
The company has published a TPC-E benchmark result that has set 3 world records. The result has been achieved on the ThinkSystem SR650 V3 server.

Benchmark results are:

• #1 overall TPC-E result for performance
• Best TPC-E result for performance on 2-processor systems
• Best TPC-E price/performance for a system with 120-processor cores

The TPC-E benchmark is designed to enable customers to measure and compare the performance and price of various OLTP and database systems.

ThinkSystem SR650 V3 server achieved the following score ⁽¹⁾:

• 12,436.66 tpsE (transactions/second E) @ $95.46 USD/tpsE

Result is the best overall TPC-E performance in the industry:

• 2.25% higher than the best 4P result’s performance ⁽²⁾, and
• 3.40% higher than the previous best 2P result’s performance ⁽³⁾

Including this new result, the company’s servers have the #1 1P ⁽⁴⁾, 2P ^(1,5), 4P ⁽²⁾, and overall ^(1,5) TPC-E performance and price/performance results.

SR650 V3 achieved this record level of OLTP performance using the following configuration:

• 2xXeon Platinum 8490H 60-core processors at 1.9GHz (2 processors, 120 total cores, 240 total threads)
• 2,048GB of Lenovo TruDDR5 memory
• Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Enterprise Edition
• Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Standard Edition

This result also relied on the firm’s storage D1224 DAS enclosures. Six D1224 storage enclosures and 126 SAS SSDs were used in the benchmark configuration, attached directly to the server using 6 ThinkSystem RAID 940-8e controllers configured with RAID-5.
