A phenomenon known as the $300,000,000 PC.
Frank DiGilio's Mainframe Mythbusting presentation cites the Wall
Street Journal as saying distributed server farms can generate up to
3800 watts per square foot! A z9 EC generates only 312 watts per
square foot. (Less than 10%.)
I heard an opinion from some PC bigot that this is the proof that Intel
platform offers "denser computing power". More watts mean more CPUs,
channels, etc. <vbg>

Another example of "Airline Magazine Technology". Where in the name of
all that's holy do they find those idiots to write that garbage??
