Actually, I worry becuase there are no competitors in the market, why IBM announced the new CPU model so fast, it doesn't like a desktop computer ..I think z9 is announced around 3 years...As I remember, IBM never try to announced a new model of mainframe computer just three years later...a market needs??? ..just curious...if you upgrade the mianframe currently I think you also have a question...
