Sure thing. I was primarily answering the question above - in terms of how the numbers in the TPC-C benchmark fit in. I updated my comment to reflect the cost. I think what's interesting with TPC-C is that you can sort the results base

I think you can still drive some insights. I clicked on the TPC-C results you shared and read their executive summaries. The Oracle on SPARC cluster (at the top, 2010) performs 30.2M qualified tx/min vs the 16K tx/min in this blog

Is this data accurate? As a Turkish fan, I don't recall nor can find any records of Turkey losing to Switzerland by a 7-0 margin in 1998. Edit: Also sadly, Turkey didn't make it to the World Cup in '98.

In most of the world, revolutions come bottom up. In Turkey, they came top down. It was the military that toppled the "sultan" and established the parliamentary system / Turkish Republic. And later it was a former general who set up the mul
