• Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel
microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems,
components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You
should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases,
including the performance of that product when combined with other products.
• Intel does not control or audit the design or implementation of third party benchmarks or Web sites referenced in this
document. Intel encourages all of its customers to visit the referenced Web sites or others where similar performance
benchmarks are reported and confirm whether the referenced benchmarks are accurate and reflect performance of systems
available for purchase.
• Relative performance is calculated by assigning a baseline value of 1.0 to one benchmark result, and then dividing the actual
benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms, and
assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.

High performance real-time database. Maximum performance,
optimal scalability, low TCO, minimal administration.
“The enormous growth in data volumes and the complexity of
analysis requirements in today’s data warehouse market demand
innovative database solutions with more efficient performance and
scalability. Intel servers are designed from top to bottom to deliver
maximum performance at minimum overhead. Looking at the
performance of the Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family-based platform
it shows clearly just how great the potential is for reducing spending
on hardware and power consumption in cluster and virtualization
environments. Put simply: the Intel® Xeon® processor E5 familybased platform delivers more performance other servers – so why
invest more in hardware than you have to? EXASolution 4.0 and the
Intel servers have once again shown that this combination is the right
answer to growing market requirements.”

OBC welcomes the launch of Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family-based platforms, which we believe are
the best platform for “Bugyo” V ERP. Bugyo V ERP” is the high-end Bugyo series that satisfies the needs
of large enterprises. Those companies have to unify ERP applications of group companies due to the
requirement of IFRS.
Among our customers of Bugyo VERP, we see more cases in which shared application is used in
virtualization. Our test result shows that the Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family-based platforms can
handle approximately 40% more users compared to the previous platform in such shared environment.
We believe we can provide our Bugyo V ERP customers a higher performance and more cost efficient
solution with Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family-based platforms.

SAP Cryptolib
“With the Intel® AES-NI encryption enabled, we saw a 25% faster finish
using a database consisitency checkload with 20% less CPU utilization.
Additionally, we experienced a fantastic 2.1x speedup of
Encryption/Decryption compared to not using AES-NI.”
Jochen Haller, onDemand Security Officer SAP
Intel and SAP have been working collaboratively to ensure that performance is maximized
even when all security features are enabled within SAP BusinessByDesign.
The new version of the SAP Cryptolib with Intel® AVX support speeds up performance of SAP
BusinessByDesign’s security features as well as all ABAP and C-Based SAP components that
require access to cryptographic software routines.
- Additional changes to customer implementation other than updating with a service pack
containing the new version of the library
- All new products delivered to customers after Q1 2012 will contain this new library. New
service packs released after Q1 2012 will also have the new version of the library, and can
be obtained as usual from the SAP Service Marketplace

Dr.Sum EA 4.0
Business Intelligence Tool
Dr. Sum EA 4.0 aggregates big data in high speed with a distributed processing architecture.
As Dr.Sum EA 4.0 was complied with Intel Composer XE, it provides great performance on the latest Intel platform.
Our test shows that Dr. Sum EA 4.0 experiences nearly 2x performance increase on the Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family-
based server vs. the Intel® Xeon®5600 series based server.
We believe our customers will get immediate benefits with the combination of Dr. Sum EA 4.0 and the Intel® Xeon®
processor E5 family-based platform. More managers at various levels can make timely analysis of large data sets to
visualize the business and increase the company’s agility.
