Servers Get Their First Power and Performance Benchmark
,----[ Quote ]
| For the first forty years of the systems and server market, price/performance
| was basically the only metric that mattered within a given class of machines.
| But in the 21st century, when power and cooling issues are thwarting the
| attempts of companies to continue adding computing capacity at the rates they
| did in years gone by, there will be a new metric that people will start to
| pay attention to: performance/watt. To that end, the Standard Performance
| Evaluation Corporation has just release its first benchmark that gauges the
| performance and power consumption of servers.
