I believe the comment you’re responding to was saying that the dig at Oracle[1] was savage, not IBM’s lack of response.

I believe "low-end database" wasn't a knock at Oracle either. The pricing advantage you get with multiple cores for a single socket applies to standard edition which is their low-end database product. I have never seen it used in production.
