Intel® Xeon® Processor E7 v4 Family Business Processing Benchmarks
Business Processing with Intel® Xeon® Processor E7-8800/4800 v4 Product Families
Bring your business’s best ideas to life by transforming big data and real-time analytics into new business opportunities while ensuring the reliability and uptime of the most business-critical services with the Intel® Xeon® processor E7-8800/4800 v4 product families.
The Business Processing segment consist of four primary verticals: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), and Batch. ERP includes enterprise wide line-of-business (LOB) applications, other business commerce applications that facilitate business transactions or other task automation over networks, and departmental transactional applications that run on servers but do not tie directly to other applications. CRM automates the customer-facing business processes within an organization: sales, marketing, and customer service. OLTP uses a database and is not ERP. Batch involves traditional legacy mainframe-type processes that execute business process transitions in a batch process. (IDC2014)
Enterprise Resource Planning with SAP SD* 2-Tier on Windows*
The Sales and Distribution (SD) Benchmark covers a sell-from-stock scenario, which includes the creation of a customer order with five line items and the corresponding delivery with subsequent goods movement and invoicing. The results reported measure the completion of one SAP Application Performance Standard (SAPS) unit of measurement, which is 20 fully business-processed order line items per hour and reported as a given number of benchmark users supported.

Online Transaction Processing with TPC Benchmark* E
The TPC Benchmark* E (TPC-E) benchmark uses a database to model a brokerage firm with customers who generate transactions related to trades, account inquiries, and market research. The brokerage firm in turn interacts with financial markets to execute orders on behalf of the customers and updates relevant account information. The benchmark is “scalable,” meaning that the number of customers defined for the brokerage firm can be varied to represent the workloads of different-size businesses.

Product and Performance Information
Benchmark results were obtained prior to implementation of recent software patches and firmware updates intended to address exploits referred to as "Spectre" and "Meltdown". Implementation of these updates may make these results inapplicable to your device or system.
Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel® microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark* and MobileMark*, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations, and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. For more complete information visit http://www.intel.com/benchmarks.
Intel does not control or audit the design or implementation of third party benchmarks or websites referenced in this document. Intel encourages all of its customers to visit the referenced websites or others where similar performance benchmarks are reported and confirm whether the referenced benchmarks are accurate and reflect performance of systems available for purchase.
Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html for details.
Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel® microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2 and SSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel.
Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel® microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel® microarchitecture are reserved for Intel® microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product user and reference guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
