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.
