And they also have 1000 or more x86 machines each :-) That's what I meant,
that way more x86/x64 CPUs are manufactured, so obviously they are cheaper.
I just wondered if you worked it out on a performance per $ metric (eg how
many $ equipment do you need to print 30 million bills in 24 hours), would
using the IBM mainframe be cheaper than using a room full of x86 machines?
