My best understanding is that Watson would be too costly as compared to Google.

They say now it's "a pizza-box-sized server".

Thanks. I could find some references using those keywords!

Do you then also know about the cost per query as compared to a Google search? Or alternatively, how much concurrent traffic can they handle with that server?

I don't know, but i don't think that really matters. google mostly deals the "cheap" stuff, while watson deals with really valuable stuff , so compute cost is is not so important.

I think there was a query on quora about this.
