SQL Server 2008 Benchmarks
With the launch of SQL Server 2008 today (remember, RTM is still planned for a few months later in Q3 2008) we have just posted a number of record breaking results across industry (TPC-E, TPC-H) and ISV benchmarks. These are really amazing results and the team worked extremely hard to get these published by launch. We posted best performance results for TPC-E and our first ever TPC-H 10TB result. We delivered a record breaking ETL benchmark loading 1TB of data in less than 30min. And finally record breaking ISV benchmarks showing incredible results with SQL Server 2008.
