For example, a database running TPC-C on a NUMA cluster of 32 two-way systems would kick in the teeth of a real 64 processor box, ceteris paribus. That stack of dual processor systems is certainly cheaper, too. But the 64-way system would crush the cluster on anything that couldn't be partitioned the way TPC-C can. "

It was one non-clustered result: http://news.com.com/2100-1010_3-1013764.html?tag=fd_top
