"Big Blue, as previously reported, said it will begin selling IBM p570 Unix servers with as many as eight of the new dual-core chips. The systems will go on sale June 8 for a starting cost of $60,000, an IBM representative said."
Hmm, say 1/5 of the system price is the CPU. Giving them the benefit of the doubt with an 8 socket system being $60,000, the price of a single dual core module is $1,500 or $3,000 for a dual socket system. For $3,000 you can buy a new MacPro with two 3 GHz Core 2 Duo processors and not have to worry about how to cool it.

Reminds me of the people who said that the 68060 would've blown the doors off of the PowerPC if Apple had just used it instead.

well yeah, chrome and vents, what's not to like.
Think of an old 4 door with a big block under the hood.
