Only 16 cores... Oops... 16 processors, up to 64 cores.
Still seems awfully steep.

Considering that IBM value-unit cost for cores on their pSeries frames can comes out to upward of $30K and sometimes as high as $50K per-core on their newer models, this is definitely a competitively priced option.

You do realize that a system price is far more then the sum of it processors, with the custom / low volume hardware and software this is probably cheap.
