Rumors? Sure. But there's a roadshow announcement sent by our IBM sales team: https://www-950.ibm.com/events/wwe/syszrs/syszrs08.nsf
Gee, maybe with syszrs08 they'll call it the System zRS8, or just System z8? Does it REALLY matter what it's called? PERFORMANCE matters, not the name. The sales team also sent a "Mainframe Roadshow March 2008.pdf" document that points to the link above. Attachments are stripped by the listserver, so you'll have to ask your IBM rep for a copy. It's worthwhile poking about that pdf file. That's all I can say about the rumors. :-) Mike Walter Hewitt Associates Any opinions expressed herein are mine alone and do not necessarily represent the opinions or policies of Hewitt Associates.
