Are you asking for hardware acquisition or Total Cost of Ownership?
Acquisition cost: less, but what would it do???
TCO: A lot more, since you'd have to pay a fleet of developers to put together an OS (on commodity hardware) that mimics zVM and can run mainframe apps that are 40 years old.
Hardware w/o apps just sucks power and produces nuthin'
