Are you refering to TPC-C and TpmC? If so the first to break 1M was
Oracle http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpcc_result_detail.asp?id=103110401

I do very much doubt that any vendor including SQL Server is using SMP
paralelism in the TPC-C benchmark because the load is driven by the high
number of concurrent users. SMP parallelism is mostly useful for low
concurrency enviroments (such as warehouses (TPC-H)).
