I.e. the pSeries will always be ahead of the iSeries It was in MSP. This was in the context of describing the differences between the two machines. Dr Frank said: "How do you make a pSeries from an iSeries? Basically just pull out all the IOPs!" This is one reason the iSeries can be behind in main processor speed and still win benchmarks in Java and Domino - there is just less for the main processors to do. But we've covered this ground before..... More interestingly Dr Frank also said that in the future there will be no more IOPs in the iSeries. Hmmmmm that makes the iSeries and the pSeries the same box if you accept his prior answer... - Larry
