For several generations IBM has used the same technology in Power and
z processor chips. The chips, however, are substantially different. I
believe that IBM published some articles on older generations,
describing what was shared and what was unique.

The wiki "chip" articles since at least Z196 have been about the
entire processor complex rather than about the chips themselves. I
wish that some of the IBM chip designers would be willing to take on
the task of editing those articles.
