Sizing p7 systems

Hi,

I am currently given the dubious task Smilie to make an assumption on sizing our current p5 environment in relation to new p7 machines. Is there any kind of a vague factor how to calculate this?
I found some official IBM benchmark results with long lists of different Power machines and their scores but since I do not know the benchmarks themselves they were kinda useless for me.
Is there a simple kind of formula how to guess what number of p7 CPUs you might need to compensate a number of p5 CPUs?

Thanks in advance.

glutReshapeWindow(3GLUT)					       GLUT						  glutReshapeWindow(3GLUT)

NAME
glutReshapeWindow - requests a change to the size of the current window. SYNTAX
void glutReshapeWindow(int width, int height); ARGUMENTS
width New width of window in pixels. height New height of window in pixels. DESCRIPTION
glutReshapeWindow requests a change in the size of the current window. The width and height parameters are size extents in pixels. The width and height must be positive values. The requests by glutReshapeWindow are not processed immediately. The request is executed after returning to the main event loop. This allows multiple glutReshapeWindow, glutPositionWindow, and glutFullScreen requests to the same window to be coalesced. In the case of top-level windows, a glutReshapeWindow call is considered only a request for sizing the window. The window system is free to apply its own policies to top-level window sizing. The intent is that top-level windows should be reshaped according glutReshapeWindow's parameters. Whether a reshape actually takes effect and, if so, the reshaped dimensions are reported to the program by a reshape callback. glutReshapeWindow disables the full screen status of a window if previously enabled.
