I was looking at the SAP SD benchmark, just released by IBM, for the new Power Server model 750, and comparing it to the one that IBM released for their x3650 M2 server. ÂThe net result was that the model 750 offered 3.34 times more throughput.

You're comparing apples to oranges here - the x3650 M2 is a
two-socket, 8 core machine, the Power 750 is a four socket, 32 core
machine. You'd need to compare it against x3850 M3/x3950 M3. The Power
520 8203-E4A is a one-socket, one core machine, and can thus be
compared to any laptop ;)
