Without commenting on the actual topic, I can just hear the folks in the Intel space claim that we dino's are now copying their technology for water cooling! I read about all these "hot" PC's now being watercooled, like it is something new....
I do know that the newest P-Series boxes are water cooled, so it would seem to follow that the newer z-series would be too. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thomas Dunlap Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 6:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Z11 - Water cooling? Vince, I am not sure about the z11 designation, but I have heard the same. At several occasions IBM people have talked about the fact that the next generation of system would be water cooled (again) due to heat issues. I guess it is the price to pay for the higher speed chips and denser memory chips.
