Hey!
Sorry to top post...

Its a good site to look at and see comperable pricing.

I chose an 8 core T1 vs a quad core intel.
Sun = 240 processor units
Intel = 200 processor units.

As to which will give you better overall performance? Who knows for sure.
(I dont even think IBM knows since *NO ONE* has done a published
benchmark... ;-)
[OK, so maybe IBM has some internal numbers...]

For the original poster, it would be nice to know how you did in your tuning
efforts.

The chip architecture is different enough that its never going to be an
apples to apples comparison between server architecture.

IMHO, based on the numbers I have seen on the IBM site, I'd say that IBM
does know roughly the performance values.

For some situations, the T1 may be a better buy, depending on the overall
configuration and application. (Financial Services applications as an
example....)

Interesting stuff....
