Re: How to relate performance of new models

[Kirk Goins <kirkgoins@xxxxxxxxx>]

The answer is Yes with some notes
#1 All Cores are active for the model you purchase. For example if you
purchase a 4Core system, all 4 cores are active.
#2 If you purchase 1Core  license of IBM i for whatever the price is today
you can still use the other 3Cores for Linux without additional core
charges. If you want to run AIX buy a license and run it one of the other
cores.
