Paul, >"re the new record for tpmC by IBM, here's the updated top 10. Maybe a squeeze job on Sun?"

I'm not so sure.

At a tpmC of 440879, and $32.28 per tpmC, the system cost comes to $14+ Million !!!

That kind of system will not sell in large quantities - even if it is required to keep track of all the AMD AthWiper sales !!!


Good point (about large quantity sales) but the Sun machines are almost as expensive, at a little over one fourth the power. Still, I'm not sure if these guys are set up and measured for a you-know-what contest, or if anyone actually buys them. I do remember the days of mainframes selling for these kinds of prices, so, maybe they do sell into a limited market.

Rudedog would know.
