Unfortunately, I can't read/understand German - but your page provided more
insight. Thanks. I first read this article over the weekend, and it
surprised me that IBM might actually be willing/able to use the Power processor
to... well, power a mainframe. Rumors of that have been around for awhile, but
always seem to be a sort of 'coming soon to a mainframe near you' story rather
than an actual product of substance.
Regards,
Dean

Subject: POWER6 on zSeries?

"In den nächsten 18 bis 24 Monaten wird der IBM-Mainframe mit derselben
Hardware arbeiten wie
unsere anderen Server." Das bemerkte Frank Soltis, Chefentwickler des
Midrange-Systems
I-Series, eher beiläufig auf der Common-Anwenderkonferenz in Leipzig. In den
Unix- und
Mini-Servern des Konzerns takten Power-Risc-Prozessoren, in Mainframes bislang
ausschließlich
proprietäre Cisc-Chips."
