This new amazing result at 1,479,748 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tpc.org\/tpch\">Composite Query-per-Hour<\/a> (QphH) was achieved at price\/performance of .95 USD per QphH continuing to show SQL Server\u2019s leadership in price and performance.<\/p>\n<p>HPE also announced the first TPC-H 3TB result\u00b2 on a 2-socket system using SQL Server 2017 and Windows Server 2016 with their DL380 Gen Server. They achieved a stellar 1,014,374 QphH on only 2-sockets. These results continue to show how powerful SQL Server can be to handle your analytic query workloads including data warehouses.<\/p>\n<p>SQL Server also is a proven leader for OLTP workloads. Lenovo recently announced a new world-record TPC-E benchmark result\u00b3 using SQL Server 2017 and Windows Server 2016. This is now the #1 TPC-E result in both performance at 11,357 tpsE and price\/performance at 98.83 USD per tpsE for systems with 4 sockets or more. This result was achieved on Lenovo\u2019s ThinkSystem SR950 server using 4 sockets at 112 cores which represents a 25% performance gain from the previous 4 socket result with 16% more cores.<\/p>\n<p>SQL Server 2017 is the world leader in TPC-E and TPC-H performance, price, and value and continues to demonstrate it is one of the fastest databases on the planet, in your cloud or ours.<\/p>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u00b9 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tpc.org\/3329\" rel=\"noopener\">10TB TPC-H<\/a> non-clustered result as of November 9th, 2017.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u00b2 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tpc.org\/3330\" rel=\"noopener\">3TB TPC-H<\/a> non-clustered result as of November 9th, 2017.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u00b3 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tpc.org\/4081\" rel=\"noopener\">TPC-E<\/a> benchmark result as of November 9th, 2017.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post was authored by Bob Ward, Principal Architect, and Jamie Reding, Senior Program Manager and Performance Architect, Microsoft Database Systems Group.
