Hi Fred, Good to see you are still enjoying tropical Darwin.
My thoughts are they selected a small z9 (2094-704) as their target mainframe processor.....but you could double the processor power, to 708, without increasing the power consumption! Adding extra books could see increased power consumption.....but a 2 book configuration does not double the power load, but does almost double the processor throughput..... so how does that screw up their PR spin.
