Question
A customer that needs high performance in their servers raises an objection, saying Power System servers have slower memory than x86 servers, and therefore have slower performance. Which of the following is an appropriate response?
Options

- BThe slower memory speed in Power Systems is offset by faster memory busses
- CPower Systems have a large cache system which reduces the need for fast, expensive memory
- DPower Systems consistently have higher benchmark results than x86 due to a balanced approach
