How much energy is Sossaman? and Xeon Power performance competition

Performance

Sossaman with the Xeon architecture will bring a more power-saving solution to the server. But what is the difference between performance and Xeon? And how much electricity will be saved? Recently, the Japanese side has answered this question for us.

The test's Sossaman model uses the E7520 chipset, inside the X6DLP-4G2 Blade server, two CPU Take-off frequency on 2GHz, the other configuration is: 1 FDD floppy disk drive, a SCSI hard drive, the following is a close-up of this model:

The figure above is the CPU's power consumption at 40%~50%, and the following figure is the power value of the system when it is idle.

1U server layout is quite refreshing

Four logical CPUs are mixed together.

Compare Test Model Details	Sossaman model	Xeon Model
Cpu	2.0GHz FSB 667mhzx2	3.0GHz FSB 800mhzx2
Memory	Ddrii 512M ECC X 2	Ddrii 512M ECC X 2
Hard disk	SCSI X 1	SATA 250GB X 2
Server model	x6dlp-4g2+sc811lf-260	6014v-t2

These are some of the information on the comparison model.

	Sossaman 2.0GHz (General situation)	Sossaman 2.0GHz SpeedStep (Automatic mode)	Sossaman 2.0GHz SpeedStep (Power saving mode)	Xeon 3.0GHz
Power is switched on instantaneously	109w	107w	107w	230W
When entering BIOS	86w	86w	68w	195w
When the system starts	115w	116w	78w	239w
When idle	75w	74w	55T	156w
CPU when used in 25%	98w	96w	72w	203w
CPU when used in 50%	111w	103w	77w	237w
CPU when used in 100%	117w	116w	81w	253w
The time used for Super pi 1.04 million	42 seconds.	44 seconds.	---	44 seconds.

The above is the Power comparison table, you can see, just launched the Sossaman, even if the operating frequency is only 2.0GHz, even if the supported chipset is relatively immature, but in performance has been comparable to 3GHz Xeon.
