IBM show us your energy efficiency data!
Friday Nov 21, 2008
HP and IBM must be scared. They are now arguing over data none of us can see...
It does the industry no good to argue about who has the best power-performance if you do not show numerical quantities that support public claims.
"...one of the best and most energy efficient platform options. RFG has written many research reports stating that mainframes should be considered and used in certain environments and RFG stands by those statements." ...from http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Robert-Frances-Group-921499.html
To me this is a base-less claim. If I'm wrong, simply show me the data.
That means one has to disclose the numerical quantities "measured power" and "measured performance". Sun does this others just make marketing claims and hold all cards close to the chest.
...or even good-faith estimates. Nah, just the data...

IBM continues to charge lots per core and avoid benchmarks. Here IBM will say trust me it is fast and ask for a blank check. The IBM Z10 mainframe
(64-"processor" quad-core) costs $25,000,000 Dollars. No grey area here, this is the old wasteful way of spending money for computing.
Link doesn' t work
Checked it, the link for me. Don't know what...
Don't forget your problems. The 4 chip $133K T544...
