Both Openet and Comverse provided some information on their PCRF product performance. Both vendors show the same performance on the system (chassis) level, 200,000 TPS (assuming similar test definitions conditions and methods were used).
Some other vendors provided their numbers earlier - Tango Telecom, BroadHop (now Cisco) and Bridgewater Systems (now Amdocs) - each claiming to have the best results.
See below a short comparison of all tests published so far. Test scenarios,conditions and hardware configuration/cost are not the same in all tests. Probably even the definitions of TPS (or PDP contexts setups by some vendors) are not equal as well.

Back to the recent announcements:
Openet announced that "Technical innovation by Openet engineers related to protocol handling, core processing, and memory utilization have achieved up to 100 percent performance improvement:
- More than double PCRF performance. Openet engineering advances achieved more than 200,000 TPS within a single policy system in lab testing. This measurement includes the in-memory database interaction and represents more than double performance versus any other policy product on the market.
- More than 25,000 TPS per blade for rating decisions. Openet’s product ecosystem includes real-time charging integrated with policy, essential to help operators create, manage and support modern business models.
See "Openet Technical Breakthroughs Exceed Performance Standards" - here.
- Verified 31.5 million simultaneously active subscribers in a single DMM Policy Manager chassis
- Measured more than 200,000 transactions per second in a single DMM Policy Manager chassis in all scenarios, including advanced LTE use case
- Support of 15,000 TPS per blade with linear scalability
