Answer from a knowledgeable IBMer: >The answer is yes, the z9 and z10 processors will go into "low power" mode >when not in use. On z9 this is on a chip basis, on z10 this is on a core basis >(so the effect is better). For z this effectively means those chips/cores >which are not characterized (i.e. spares).
As for the point that was made about the power rating not changing: that's probably a nominal rating. It's OK to use less :-) ...phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
