Interesting that you used the v7.3 catch-up product that isn't shipping yet. Can't beat us with your current product? I was disappointed that you didn't benchmark a configuration that was the same as one of the 34 TPC-C results that we've published. When we benchmark a HP T-500 12-CPU configuration, then we'll have an "apples to apples" comparison. No doubt it's an impressive number. Enjoy it while it lasts!
