We are back to the Oracle spat here:

s-Customer-Choice-Refuses-to-Publish-HP-Server/ba-p/90395

"HP servers offer outstanding performance running Oracle software in 
every environment, from industry standard to mission critical, from 
scale-out to scale-up, from ProLiant to Integrity. But customers can¹t 
make critical comparisons on price and performance because Oracle won¹t 
let them. They refuse to publish benchmark results with HP servers, even 
though they have audited benchmark results that are ready for 
publication.

HP Integrity servers running HP-UX power the world¹s most demanding 
customer workloads. With the release in 2010 of Intel¹s current Itanium 
processor (code-named ³Tukwila²),  HP set new standards for flexibility, 
resiliency, and performance, setting a new world record for single 
system business intelligence performance with HP¹s Superdome 2 
server(1).   HP Integrity servers more than doubled their performance 
from the previous generation.  This performance benchmark used an Oracle 
database.  As it turns out, this was one of the last benchmark results 
published on an HP server using Oracle¹s database software."
