Question 9

A customer needs a new server for their database currently running on a 16-core POWER7
4 1 GHz based server. Oracle has informed the customer that their SPARC T7 based servers are best suited for running databases, because the SPARC T7 has eight threads per core, while the current servers only for up to four threads per core.
Which of the following statements could be correctly used to reject the Oracle claim?

A. More threads will implicate more licensing for the database software Less threaded processors provide a better TCO by reducing the licensing.

B. Databases are mostly single-threaded workloads Scale-out POWERS servers have higher clock speeds and can scale to more cores than SPARC T7 servers

C. Oracle T7 Servers are engineered to run Oracle workloads faster Non-Oracle workloads will run slower on their hardware due to the amount of threads

D. The number of threads cannot guarantee better performance. Servers based on
POWER8 have' better per core performance in benchmarks when compared to SPARC T7 based servers
