Virtualization Performance using Microsoft Hyper-V* on vConsolidate benchmark
-
Benchmark description for vConsolidate*
vConsolidate is a benchmark developed by Intel Corporation to measure Server Consolidation performance. This benchmark represents predominant use case of server application consolidation. Application types (Web, database, mail, Java) selected for consolidation are guided by market data. Benchmark scales through CSUs (Consolidated Stack Unit). One CSU = five virtual machines (four application virtual machines and one idle virtual machine).

Virtualization Performance using VMware ESX* on VMmark benchmark
-
Benchmark description for VMmark
VMmark is a benchmark that quantifies and measures the performance of virtualized environments. Using a tile-based scheme (a tile is a collection of six workloads including web server, file server, mail server, database, Java* server as well as an idle machine), the benchmark measures scaling performance of consolidated workloads commonly found in the data center. The score represents the tile run for a specific time generating a throughput metric and normalized to a fixed reference platform. More information can be found at www.vmware.com/products/vmmark/results.html.
Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximate performance of Intel® products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or components they are considering purchasing. For more information on performance tests and on the performance of Intel products, visit Intel Performance Benchmark Limitations.
Relative performance for each benchmark is calculated by taking the actual benchmark result for the first platform tested and assigning it a value of 1.0 as a baseline. Relative performance for the remaining platforms tested was calculated by dividing the actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms and assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.
SPECint*2000/SPECint*2006 and SPECfp*2000/SPECfp*2006 benchmark tests reflect the performance of the microprocessor, memory architecture and compiler of a computer system on compute-intensive, 32-bit applications. SPEC benchmark tests results for Intel® microprocessors are determined using particular, well-configured systems. These results may or may not reflect the relative performance of Intel® microprocessors in systems with different hardware or software designs or configurations (including compilers). Buyers should consult other sources of information, including system benchmarks, to evaluate the performance of systems they are considering purchasing.
64-bit Intel® Xeon® processors with Intel® EM64T require a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, OS, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel EM64T-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Intel EM64T-enabled OS, BIOS, device drivers and applications may not be available. Check with your vendor for more information.
Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.
