Not long ago, Intel introduced a new Xeon processor platform to enable faster computing for the enterprise world. Codenamed Broadwell, this architecture brought additional cores to the chip and many improvements, from faster memory support to various security enhancements. As with three generations of Intel Xeon processors before this one, these benefits span beyond simple increases in transistor counts or the number of cores within each processor.
Today, Intel launched the Intel Xeon E7 v4 processor family, a high-end, enterprise-focused class of processors based on Broadwell architecture and targeted at large systems with four or more CPUs. Accompanying the launch are several new world record industry-standard benchmarks; this is where things like increased memory capacity or larger on-chip caches benefit overall system performance, resulting in the highest reported scores on various standard benchmarks. The Xeon E7 v4 launch, along with other announcements like it, typically send a ripple of innovation throughout Red Hat’s partner ecosystem in the form of new and improved performance results. The ability to support these partners is of paramount importance to Red Hat and, as a result, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is often selected by these ongoing benchmarking efforts.
Here is how Red Hat Enterprise Linux scored this time:

With 8 new world records in business critical workload categories such as ERP, Java, Big Data and virtualization, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a clear platform of choice for several Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) that need to execute demanding enterprise workloads across physical, virtual, or cloud installations.
Red Hat and Intel have enjoyed a long history of collaboration across a full spectrum of enterprise IT – covering a wide range of use cases, from applications running on physical servers to virtualized and cloud-based deployments. To this end, it should come as no surprise that Red Hat Enterprise Linux remains a key piece of the IT industry’s process for running and publishing standard benchmarks.
As the chart (above) demonstrates, Red Hat Enterprise Linux was predominantly used in TPC and SPEC benchmark publications during the last two years.*
With outstanding benchmark results from 2-socket Intel Xeon E5 family launch fresh in our minds, we are also observing great scalability from 2 to 4 CPUs across ERP, virtualization and Java workloads.
The above chart demonstrates that when it comes to ERP, virtualization and Java applications, Red Hat Enterprise Linux delivers industry-leading scalability going from dual to quad processor configuration while still maintaining excellent performance.**
These benchmarks provide more proof points supporting the argument that Red Hat Enterprise Linux excels at handling scalable workloads and thrives in ever-changing environments, as enterprise customers place ever increasing demands on their infrastructure. This recent set of performance records on Intel Xeon E7 v4 family of processors reinforces Red Hat’s continued commitment of delivering choice, value, and innovation to our customers and partners that require a stable platform to extract top performance from their infrastructure.
