I've seen an IBM internal analysis of a Websphere Application Server implementation that was
37x cheaper on Intel than on zSeries.

That's 37 _TIMES_ - not 37%!


Statements like this always confuse me. How can something be 37 times (or 3700%) smaller or cheaper than something else?

It cannot be. Assumed only positive (>0) prices.
BTW: 37 times is NOT 3700%. It is 1/37.
