Elmer-the-great-analyst, <Xeon still have the best price/performance in the industry [for servers]> The point you are constantly missing is that the price is not the main factor in server's business. The absolute performance is an ultimate factor, with scalability. There are also other parameters as how well a server holds overflow of requests, which is not measured by your TPC. If a server cannot do a peak job to satisfaction, it is useless, and has to be scaled up to do the job. I suspect that some 486 machines may have the best price/performance ratio as measured by the TPC, but so what?
