IBM System x3690 X5 (Intel Xeon E7-2870, 2.40
GHz)

CPU2006 license: 11 Test date: Feb-2012
Test sponsor: IBM Corporation Hardware Availability: May-2011
Tested by: IBM Corporation Software Availability: Feb-2012

SPEC has determined that this result is not in compliance with the SPEC
CPU2006 run and reporting rules. Specifically, the submitter reported
that the result does not meet the 3 month availability requirement in
the SPEC CPU2006 run rules, because the tested processor was not supported
on this platform within three months of publication. Results using the
supported processor can be found at http://www.spec.org/cpu2006/results/res2012q3/cpu2006-20120716-23704.html
