These numbers do NOT surprise me.

That's different than what I've found so far.  I went to ResourceLink
just now and entered basically the same data for a z15, z16, and z17 as:

Single CEC drawer
20 Processors active
2048 GB
5 I/O drawers
40 FICON ports
10 OSA 10G fiber
10 OSA 1G fiber
10 OSA 1G copper

Results, assuming I added correctly:

z15 8114 W
z16 6635 W
z17 5928 W
