Here is what I mentioned a few weeks ago about this IBM marketing slide deck:
There are so many things wrong with that document I stopped counting. It's a typical marketing document with pretty graphs and no real specifics as to how they came up with those values.
When you look at the meat behind their pretty graphs you find out it's based off of IBM funded research papers from ITG. See here for one of the footnote references they used in slide #11, and look at the last page in the footnotes in that PDF file and you can see its funded by IBM:

There is NOTHING in that document to substantiate the claim of "44% less than x86, Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server", and "57% less than x86, Linux, Oracle DB".
