On trivial read-only transactions (primary key lookup on fully cached table), using a 16-core, 64-thread IBM POWER7 box, pgbench -M prepared -S -n -T 60 -c 64 -j 64: tps = 455903.743918 (including connections establishing) tps = 456012.871764 (excluding connections establishing) That box isn't quite the fastest one I've seen, but it's close.
