(NASDAQ: JAVA) today announced five new world record results on industry-standard benchmarks using x64 servers based on Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron architectures, powered by the Solaris Operating System (OS) and Linux. Sun is setting the bar by posting the first-ever submissions on two new benchmarks from the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) – SPECjvm2008 and SPECmail2008, as well as record-breaking results on SPECfp2006, ABAQUS and Fluent application benchmarks for High Performance Computing (HPC) environments.

Well done to Sun in achieving these results using its x64 servers running Linux and Solaris.
