…. Here is example run of purely CPU consuming “Benchmark” function for 2.6Ghz Intel Xeon vs T2000: # XEON mysql> select benchmark(100000000…,1+2) | +————————–+ | 0 | +————————–+ 1 row in set (1.50 sec) # T2000 mysql> select benchmark(100000000,1+2); +————————–+ | benchmark(100000000,1+2…

Same about Web server in general – if you had CPU consumption of 0.05 sec to generate web page in PHP for example going with T2000 may push you…

For comparison I’ve been up against a Sun X4100… the resource utilization on the T5120 is much lower: 20% CPU versus 80-85% on the X4100. I have a while…

No one measures their CPU with SpecInt results or something like that. This strategy however…. This article also has very interesting observation on MySQL Multiple CPU scalability .
