IBM has launched a very interesting product lately: the JS22 blade. The IBM JS22 blade server has two dual-core Power6 CPUs, clocked at an impressive 4 GHz. Even more interesting is the honesty of the IBM marketing team about the Sun x4450 server. IBM took the Peak SpecInt2006 of several servers published on spec.org and made a...
