Real-world virtualization benchmarking: the best server CPUs compared
Thursday, May 21st, 2009
We proudly present our newest virtualization benchmarking effort: vApus Mark I. The results are quite surprising on the latest server CPUs as it paints a very different picture than VMmark. Get a second opinion on how strong or weak the different CPUs are when they are running heavy-duty virtualized applications on ESX 3.5 Update 4….
