A commercial customer will soon send out a Request For Pricing （RFP） for a new large database server. Why would a pSeries technical specialist try to influence the customer to base the requirements on performance （TPC-C， Ideas International Relativity， Oracle Applications Standard Benchmark， etc.） rather than on numbers of processors？（）
- AIBM processor performance does not scale well over 16 ways.
- BCompetitors do not pay for TPC-C certification so results are not available.
- CIBM servers consistently outperform some other servers on a "per CPU" basis.
- DIBM prices are lower than competition when like numbers of processors are proposed.
