This seems to be borne out by an article in IBM's Journal of R&D. It has a
z-900 with 1.09 ns cycle time rated at 918MH. Article can be found at:

The section on first and level packaging.

Actually, I believe they do.  Take the cycle time (which I believe they do
publish somewhere) and invert, and voila.  I seem to recall from some
comments that Barton Robinson made many months ago that the first
generation
zSeries boxes were 200Mhz machines (5ns cycle time).  I'm sure someone who
knows for sure can confirm or refute that.

Ack!  Run away! Here we go again!

IBM doesn't release those kind of specs for the 390 processors.  You might
want to talk to your sales rep about workloads, etc.
