http://www.tpc.org/tpcd/faq.asp http://www.tpc.org/tpcd/faq.asp By policy of the TPC, published comparisons of any TPC benchmark results must include all metrics for that particular benchmark. Therefore, the comparison of TPC-D results for two or more systems must include the power metric, the throughput metric, and the price-performance metric. While one metric may be emphasized more than another, the three metrics are considered a unit, and none may be omitted.
