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？（）

• A、IBM processor performance does not scale well over 16 ways.
• B、Competitors do not pay for TPC-C certification so results are not available.
• C、IBM servers consistently outperform some other servers on a "per CPU" basis.
• D、IBM prices are lower than competition when like numbers of processors are proposed.
