Has anybody looked into this?
How are you billing, if using chargeback?
Since these specialty engines are designed to reduce software costs, should you charge:
A. The same as for regular CPU.
B. The cost based on the engine's 'true' power.
C. Some sort of discount.
I tend towards 'C', but am curious as to what others do.
PS: I'm not a big fan of Chargeback; managers are.
