IBM NeXtScale System: An economical building block approach to hyperscale computing

Sources1. 84 servers x 2 processors x 12 cores = 2016 cores. 42 servers x 2 processors x 6 cores = 504 cores2. Source: Performance comparison using SPECint_rate_base benchmark Baseline score of 669 on prior generation IBM iDataPlex dx360 M4 using Intel Xeon E5-2690 processor published at www.spec.org as of March 2012. New score of 918 on IBM NeXtScale nx360 M4 using Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 processor published September 2013.3. As compared to a a traditional 1U server like HP DL360 Gen 8 Weight (maximum config) 17.69kg (39lbs) versus NeXtScale nx360 M4 (6.05kg) + apportioned chassis (39kg/12 or 3.25kg) = 9.30kg. 9.30 v 17.69 = 47% less weight
