Performance Advantage of Dell PowerEdge R900 over HP DL585

A series of tests were run comparing a Dell PowerEdge™ R900 server using new Intel® six-core processors against previous generation quad-core processor servers. Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 with Hyper-V™ was used as the basis with many virtual machines running on each of the servers tested.

The results of these tests showed that the PowerEdge with Intel six-core processors was able to outperform quad-core processor-based servers, with increased performance per watt efficiency.
