> So are they saying that the power curve for the 911 engine peaks at much, much higher rpms? So high that you can fit two gear ratios between peak power and typical cruising rpms?
That isn't how gearing works. Gearing allows car designers to tradeoff speed vs torque. You can design a gear so that when a car is running at 100 mph, the engine is at 800 rpm.
I suspect Porsche has designed the 7th gear is for normal cruising (65 mph at 1000rpm), and the 8th is for autobahn cruising (165 mph at 1400-2000 rpm).
Most cars with 6+ gears hit top speed in 6th, as this gear applies enough force at wheels to reach top speed. Some cars do it in 5th or 4th as well.
This happens because force needed to reach high speeds is follows the square power law. Higher gears simply can't provide the force needed to counter air resistance.
The higher gears, like 7th or 8th, are designed for fuel efficiency. They are known as cruising or overdrive gears, because in those gears, the output shaft is rotating faster than the engine.
1) a dashboard for an internal system which will be used by a team of 10 only. Will it cost me $100/month?
2) A dashboard used by 10 people in my team, but could be view by the rest of the company (say 100) people occasionally. will it cost me $1100/month?
3) Lastly, say I develop 10 different internal tools for my team of 10 people. Will I have to pay $100/month for each app?
