From: Lukas Beeler
You're comparing apples to oranges here - the x3650 M2 is a
two-socket, 8 core machine, the Power 750 is a four socket, 32 core
machine. You'd need to compare it against x3850 M3/x3950 M3.
Actually IBM did publish a benchmark for the the 4-CPU x3850 M2. The new Power Server 750 provided 3.87 times more throughput. Sun just published a benchmark for an 8-CPU 48-core Intel server. Still the Power Server 750 provided 55% more throughput.
Again, regarding price/performance, the real cost is not the hardware. It's the DBMS. The Sun server was running Oracle DBMS. They price that by CPU. That must be more than $200K - just for the DBMS license.
