Re: IBM Unleashes World's Most Powerful Server

Hi:

I don't care what organization you are talking about, the following math 
would be a bank-buster:

"The p5-595 offered 38% better price performance
than the HP machine -- $2.98 per transaction versus
$4.82 per transaction."

At "4,016,222 transactions per minute" the p5-595 would cost over $718 
million per *hour* to operate.
