The differation that i5 has is that i5 is where IBM smushed (a true
technical term) the iSeries into the pSeries.  This was a smart move for
IBM to reduce costs, but it happened at far too accelerated a pace.

I believe the official and complete response to the question was that the
official name of an i5 system would be "IBM eServer iSeries i5".  However
to simplify the name the platform should be called iSeries.  The i5 is
only one of the subsets of the iSeries platform.

Hopefully that clears things up.....
