Re: [Xen-users] Quad core systems generally preferable?

[Stephan Seitz <s.seitz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

last month I've read a unisys paper with benchmark tests compared between
8-way and 16-way systems. I'm sorry but I don't find this paper right now,
maybe google is helpful.
The benchmarks were done with vmware and showed a big benefit on 16-way.
As far as I remember the 8-way system held 12 vm's, the 16-way
system 128 (!) (limit of vmware) vm's, with each scenario at about 60%-70%
overall cpu utilization.
I think this was done on ES7000/one.

cheers

Stephan
