I would think that Oracle would be investing more in something like flash storage in their hardware rather than optimizations to processor speed. More threads don't make the disc spin faster and a lot of DB workloads are bound by going to persistent storage.
- rodgerd 12y agoIf you've spent any time with Oracle sales staff you'll know their pitch these days is that their on-chip acceleration is the only way to break IO barriers, and that you'll get a shit experience with Oracle DBs unless you deploy on Oracle hardware. It's an old-school full stack play straight from the mainframe era. SSD, by way of contrast, is relatively commodity stuff that Oracle can't get a lock-in with.
