Abstract
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR850 V4 has set two performance world records for compute-intensive applications with new results of the SPEC CPU 2017 benchmark.
This document summarizes the the SPEC CPU 2017 benchmark results for the ThinkSystem SR850 V4 that were published on September 26, 2025. The document lists the results, summarizes the major components of the configuration under test, and provides the link to the relevant benchmark organization’s web site for details about the results.
Introduction
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR850 V4 server has set two performance world records for compute-intensive applications with new results of the SPEC CPU 2017 benchmark.
The benchmark world records are:
- Best SPECrate2017_int_energy_base score on a 4-processor system
- Best SPECrate2017_fp_energy_base score on a 4-processor system
These new benchmark results, published in new SPEC reports on September 26, 2025, demonstrate that the ThinkSystem SR850 V4 continues Lenovo’s leadership with outstanding performance for the server industry.
The ThinkSystem SR850 V4 achieved the following SPEC CPU 2017 scores:
- SPECrate2017_int_energy_base: 1490 (1)
- SPECrate2017_fp_energy_base: 1500 (2)
SPECrate2017 scores are ideal for measuring multi-threaded compute-intensive applications, such as High Performance Computing (HPC) workloads.
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR850 V4 server was configured as follows:
- 4 x Intel Xeon 6788P processor - 86 cores, 2.00 GHz, 336 MB L3 cache
- 2 TB system memory
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP7
The results are current as of September 26, 2025. To view details of the results, see the following SPEC web pages:

About SPEC CPU 2017
SPEC CPU 2017 is SPEC's industry-standard suite of benchmarks for measuring and comparing compute intensive performance, stressing a system's processor, memory subsystem and compiler. This benchmark provides a comparative measure of compute-intensive performance using workloads developed from real user applications.
The SPEC CPU 2017 benchmark suite measures server performance in the following ways:
- SPECspeed 2017 is to compare time for a computer to complete single tasks
- SPECrate 2017 is to measure the throughput or work per unit of time.
This benchmark is targeted for use by hardware vendors, IT industry, computer manufacturers, and government.
