TPC Benchmarks for the Realworld

This goes for all vendors -

I would like to see the TPC benchmarks as they are currently performed. However it would be great if TPC would make it a requirement to provide a real world example of the configuration and have it run the benchmark as a baseline.

The TPC mark of 1.6M transactions comes at a price of 1 transaction for $3.54.

The p570 with it's 8 Power6 cores also has the following

768GB RAM

21 Dual Ported 4 Gb Fibre Channel adapters

3312 36GB 15K 4Gb FC Drives

168 73GB 15k 4Gb FC Drives

I would like to see IBM publish a second TPC with the following configuration:

8 Power6 Processors

64GB RAM

2 Dual Port FC Cards

32 146GB 15k 4Gb FC Drives. Configured in a RAID 1+0 configuration
