RE: IBM Unleashes World's Most Powerful Server

Don:

Sure, the issue has to be units of measure. What was written is obvious 
and clear, and just as clearly and obviously wrong -- unless there is an 
"understood" standard measurement. There may be. I wouldn't be surprised. 
But, I don't know what it is.

I could be wrong, but the price-performance calculation is not 
operating cost, but acquisition cost.  I believe the article was 
saying the p5-595 will cost $2.98 per transaction to acquire.  In 
the context of the article, that would be the 4,016,222 transactions
per minute multiplied by $2.98.
