Jeez I'm not a hardware guy ya know, but weren't we speaking of the merced aka the itanium2 not the Itanium, and you don't happen to have that COST per transaction thingy that the Transactions Processing Performance Council publishes weekly
do you?
And as far as comparisons to Xeon for speed, thingy, and again, I'm not a hardware guy, but if memory serves, my 8088 ran Lotus about 200 times faster than my system 36, and about 20 times faster than a 360.
And as far as comparisons to the Alpha, gee, I guess Craig could pop in to the Alpha cubicle at the office AND ASK THEM. It's all in the family now, so your pointing that out over and over is like pointing out that a P4 1.8 runs faster than a P4 1.7, if you catch my drift. |
