BI Benchmark and Superdome 2 Print E-mail
The Register reports that details of the Superdome 2 servers have come to light in benchmarking results.

The website reports that HP described some of the new servers' details when they announced them in April 2010 but many of the "speeds and feeds" were unlisted.  The report reckons that the TPC-H numbers fill in some of the gaps.

The new Superdome is apparently built from two-socket Superdome 2 blade servers called the CB900s i2 that slide into a modified c7000 blade chassis.

The upper 8u of the CB900s i2 contains the sx3000 chipset which will glue together 16 sockets (8 blades) with a total of 64 processor cores into a single system image.

Reportedly, the bottom 10U of the CB900s i2 looks like any other HP blade server.
