Kudos to Oracle JRockit for having the first Nehalem based SPECjbb2005 results available on www.spec.org using a new P28.0.0. JVM.
The Sun HotSpot results using a new Java 6 Update 14 Performance Release are referenced here.
The IBM J9 result is 8-10% faster than the JRockit and HotSpot results .... not surprisingly Intel went with the J9 result on their Nehalem benchmark page.

Results referenced are current as of March 30, 2009. The SPECjbb2005 results have been submitted to SPEC for review. Upon successful review, the result will be posted at www.spec.org, which contains a complete list of published SPECjbb2005 results.

Even no longer with skin in the game, I find this a lovely chart! Thanks, Derek.
Just read Congratulations from Sun's David Dagastine under post titled "Tim Ellison's misguided remarks" at http://blogs.sun.com/dagastine/. This is really cool :)
WHO is in charge of IBM's J9 @ IBM. I mean... surely there's some manager making big money whose purpose at Big Blue is to handle direction of IBM's J9...
My thoughts:
1. With OpenJDK and the PhoneME projects as GPL open source, why does IBM insist on shipping a proprietary Java VM?.
2. Why not open source it, so everyone can benefit?. Why the ugly packaging of WEME and constant rebranding?
3. Why did IBM stop supporting Palm OS, when over 2M of Palm Centro smartphones have been sold, and the Palm PRE can run PalmOS apps under an emulator?
IBMers at their ivory towers can pat each other and toast for the glorious benchmarks and put nice bar graphs showing 5% performance improvements, but in the real world, nobody cares about IBM's JVM... if I want to buy a phone I'll buy one that comes with Sun's Java preloaded...
INQuiring minds want to know...
