I suppose the pSeries 655 results were but I only sell Linux clusters so I never look at those. :) Madison is turning out to be a very, very good performer.. but there's not enough software available for it and the performance *still* doesn't justify the price unless you're comparing to high end Unix servers (Or I guess Windows if you insist :). Very few people running chess engines can afford server class systems. I'm willing to bet IPF *never* takes over for the x86 instruction set on the desktop.
