    OceanBase TPC-C Top Spot Questioned as 'Benchmark Gaming' and Overhyped 'Surpassing Oracle'

    In 2019, Ant Financial's OceanBase passed the TPC-C audit with 60.88 million tpmC and topped the ranking, with publicity claiming it had "surpassed Oracle." Leiphone and others pointed out that the Oracle result used for comparison was from 2010, with both hardware and software already outdated, and that the test used large-scale cloud resources, so it could not prove that OceanBase had truly surpassed Oracle at that time, triggering controversy over excessive publicity and insufficient comparability. OceanBase responded that test preparation took about one year and the audit about half a year, meeting requirements such as eight-hour stable operation and serializability. Progress: media reports. Entity involved: Beijing Aoxing Beisi Technology Co., Ltd. (OceanBase). Related scope: OceanBase TPC-C test publicity.
