It won't show you hard numbers, but slide 4 on the presentation at http://ibmvancouv1.download.akamai.com.edgesuite.net/2008/oct/linux/finance/finance.pdf shows the increase in capacity being at least triple, and perhaps quadruple, and the price has been cut more than in half. -snip- > (some dip in IBM gave management the impression that Windows > binaries could run on an IFL under z/Linux.

Just not the whole OS.
