Except Intel is significantly cheaper. I do like the other answers stated so far, but lets be frank... the typical Linux cluster of 2S Xeons is going to be much cheaper and scalable than massive 4S 144-Thread beasts.

The Xeon in the article is more expensive than POWER8. Every other Xeon is cheaper than POWER8, but if you need multi-terabytes of RAM and corresponding amounts of CPU on a single motherboard, POWER8 is cheaper than Xeon.
