A z9 UP is closer to 600 MIPS.
The latest claim is 585. But, that doesn't matter, since IBM has only
benchmarketted to 24 CP's.
Well, ok, 585 MIPS for a uniprocessor. That's still considerably more than
the 350 PSI claims they can do with emulation on an Itanium, and they don't
say how many processors they use to achieve that. I was disputing the
statement that an Itanium can emulate instructions faster than z silicon.
According to:
http://www.t3t.com/liberty_specs.aspx
"up to 8 cores". So either 8 single core CPU's or 4 dual core. Running
anywhere from 1.4 to 1.6 Ghz. Umm what was the comment about zSeries
processors running "slow". Let's see the z9 runs at 1.65 Ghz delivers
585 MIPS in a uni and it take 8 Itanium 2 cores to emulate 350.
