Ace's Hardware: "Thanks to Arcadian for posting about HP's recent TPC-C submission for the 64-way Itanium-based Superdome. With 64 1.5 GHz Madison Itanium processors, each sporting a 6 MB L3 cache, and 1 TB of main memory, the Superdome has achieved 1,008,144 tpmC at a cost of US$8.33/tpmC. This is the first machine to break one million transactions per minute. The score is roughly 20% higher than HP's previous result of 824,164 tpmC. The primary difference between that result and the new one is a doubling of main memory from 512 GB to 1 TB"
