How much did it cost to develop IBM’s Watson?
NYT put #ibmwatson hardware at $1 million http://www10.nytimes.com/2010/06/20/magazine/20Computer-t.html ..
#Power750 32core goes for $350 grand http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh081610-story01.html ..
If 32 core Power 750 retails for $350 grand .. then 2,880 core #IBMWatson would cost you $31.5 million .. http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/01/ibm-watson-jeopardy/ ..
