Has anyone gotten anywhere with processor comparisons ? I am now being asked to give estimates such as what is the IBM equivalent in MIPs to a Sun E4500/Solaris 8 CPU box or a Sun 4200 Solaris, I myself look at these machines and have no idea how big or small they are. I am not talking utilization or what apps are running on it I am just trying to get some kind of grid for comparisons. I am constantly being asked these questions and people are tired of the canned "it depends" answer. It is difficult to move forward with the Linux on z/series without some kind of ballpark numbers. Again ballpark I can't give a potential customer the how a CPU works answer they will just look away and go and by another server. Any help is appreciated.
