But it would appear that that Prometheus does exist. Check this out at 
AngustheiTchap.com which exposes its purpose:

a 400 CPW system i?  gosh, I hope that does not happen. Much better to let the 
p5 folks market the system. That way you would have a system p5 that can run 
Linux, AIX and i5/OS. The p5 marketers get better results than the i5 crew. CPW 
pricing does not work. p5 user based pricing sells more systems and gives 
developers a more standardized system, horsepower wise, to target.

( the more CPU there is the more features can be put into the application. An 
application written to run on a chintzy 400 CPW system will have less features 
than one that runs in a 3800 CPW partition. If the i5 has both 400 and 3800 CPW 
models, applications will be written to the lowest common denominator, the 400 
CPW system. The result is feature starved applications. )
