Recently, the international authority of the server testing organizations -- Standard Performance Evaluation Center (SPEC) released a test result of the performance of one of China's new dual-core quad CPUs server, 1,538 transactions per second. This broke the record of dual-core platform kept by HP minicomputer for nearly eight months and created a record high.

In layman's terms, dual-core servers use two CPUs in computing. Dual-cores quad CPUs means that each CPU has two computing cores. This can greatly enhance the performance of the server.

Currently, the global server market is at a crucial period, transforming from the dual-core platform to quad CPUs. Comparing with the dual-core server, Inspur quad CPUs platform can double the performance or even more. With both server number and overall power consumption reduced by 50%, the overall costs can be cut down by over 40%. This means that customer who needs two dual-core servers can only buy one quad CPUs server to meet his demands. Both maintenance and management costs are also much lower. The application of quad CPUs server will reduce the country's investment in information technology and cost of relevant application.

It is understood that this is the third time for the Inspur servers to break the world SPEC record, which marks that domestic servers are already among world advanced level and able to compete foreign brands in high-end fields.
