... So we have gone from Meaningless Indication of Processor speed to Meaningless Service Units? ... In a way, yes. Last year, IBM introduced a new set of MSU's for the z/*90 processors. This is on the order of 10% smaller than the LSPR-derived MSU's. I still think they should have just dropped the $/MSU by 10%.
As an aside, when IBM runs LSPR to come up with a processor definition constant (SU's/CPU-Sec), they never change it, even if LSPR is re-run and MSU's are changed.
