Extreme Software for the Extreme Machine
July 24, 2000 - Bob Cancilla, IGNITe/400 

Frank Soltis (the AS/400 Architect) indicated that the 

AS/400 Model 840-24 way is the most powerful computer on the planet! 

It is faster than IBM's largest SMP S390. When I asked him about the statement
later he told me that this claims is based on overall performance and
throughput, not just CPU speed. IBM has implemented not only a super fast CPU in
the new 8xx line of AS/400's, but also an entirely new IO subsystem (giving up
to 10 times the throughput of the older 7xx models).
