No. IBM not longer publishes such information as it is misleading. There are
simply too many things which are done which make the data non repeatable.
Even simple things such as branches. The branch prediction logic in modern
systems makes that non deterministic. Today, it is generally felt that it is
more important to write code that is reliable, understandable, and
maintainable than squeezing out the last microsecond of performance (e.g. SR
vs SLR vs XR to clear a register).
