The new System x3950 M2 sets a new standard in performance that improves efficiency and can help save money in transaction and database processing. For your business to keep pace in a faster world, your business applications must perform. IBM understands real world business performance. The x3950 M2 with eX4 technology, Intel® Xeon® 7400 series processors and IBM DB2®, is the first x86-64 system to exceed 1 million tpmC in the industry standard TPC-C benchmark¹. In fact the system exceeds that mark by 20% and owns well over 100 other leadership benchmarks. Performance you can count on from the market leader in x86 servers.

But real business performance demands more than just benchmarks. The x3950 M2 is designed to help your business succeed with:
- Flexibility, scalability from 4 sockets up to 16 sockets.
- Mainframe-like reliability with extensive memory protection features and other system availability features, like Predictive Failure Analysis® to help keep your systems running
- Designed for energy efficient performance with the latest Intel Xeon processors, high-efficiency power supplies, and memory technology that’s capable of up to 37% lower overall power consumption in high DIMM count implementations.
