Test Results
The PowerEdge R770 CSP Edition was designed to be the mainstream entry within the dual socket 2U PowerEdge rack server space. With more storage support and enterprise features, such as hot swap and redundancy, the PowerEdge R770 CSP Edition is a scalable solution capable of expansion while remaining affordable. Businesses seeking an affordable rack server capable of scaling to tackle enterprise-class workloads will benefit the most from this solution.
The following figures demonstrate a marked increase in performance:
Performance
Performance benchmark results are metrics and data collected from tests designed to measure the performance of a system, application, or component. These benchmarks provide objective, quantifiable insights into how well the subject performs under specific conditions. The results are typically used to compare against other systems or previous versions, to identify performance bottlenecks, and to guide optimization efforts.

Figure 2. Up to 2.2x higher performance than previous generation with Emerald Rapid
Performance per Watt
Performance per watt (PPW) benchmark results measure the efficiency of a system or component in terms of its performance relative to its power consumption. This metric is particularly important for evaluating energy efficiency.

Figure 4. Up to 1.7x higher performance per watt than previous generation with Emerald Rapid
Intel® Xeon® 6 E-core Processors
Perhaps the most notable hardware addition to the PowerEdge R770 CSP Edition is the inclusion of the latest Intel® Xeon® 6th E-core processor family (Formerly codenamed Sierra Forest).
