What is the machine type number? The four-digit code in the CPUID?

I am sure it is in some FM but I don't know which.

Re: VFM Vs Flash Express:

Much simpler management of VFM resource (HMC task) No hardware repair and 
verify (no cables, no adapters) Better performance since no “I/O” to attached 
adapter takes place.
Doesn't use I/O slots.
RAS: Memory protected by RAIM and ECC (internal / main memory)


Re: 10 core/5.2 GHZ/14 nm

Customer benefits from the overall technology i.e. latest chip design, more 
function on the same size chip (CPACF, Compression, cache, reduced latency 
between the PU/SC chips and between CPC drawers etc. Overall more performance 
when compared to prior generation PU chips. 

Cache Improvements:
New power efficient logical directory design 33% larger L1 I$ (128K) 2x larger 
L2 D$ (4MB) 2x larger L3 Cache with symbol ECC

New Translation/TLB2 design
4 concurrent translations
Reduced latency
Lookup integrated into L2 access pipe
2x CRSTE growth
1.5X PTE growth
New 64 entry 2gig TLB2

Pipeline Optimizations
Improved instruction delivery
Faster branch wakeup
Reduced execution latency
Optimized 2nd generation SMT2

Better Branch Prediction
33% Larger BTB1 & BTB2
New Perceptron Predictor
New Simple Call Return Stack
