"AIX 5.3 has not been recompiled for Power6, and neither has IBM's DB2 database or the SAP ERP application suite that IBM has performed some benchmark tests on to prove the mettle of the Power6 chip. When AIX 6 is out and systems software is recompiled, you can bet IBM will run tests and show considerably more performance gains than it will show this week."
Donc apparemment le bench actuel de TPC-C ne profite pas de toute la puissance du Power6 et les score va être grandement augmenté dans un proche avenir.
