Unfortunately, it's not something that will translate in a meaninful way. Thats
why MIPS ratings are somewhat arbitrary as well. Meaningless
Inidicator of Processor Speed has been used to define the acronym.
What you CAN tell them is the speed difference between a z9 BC vs a z900 as an
expression of pecent improvement, or as a multiplier of improvement.
IBM has those* numbers availble and it is still management meaningful.

Re:
zSeries IFL speed rating
Please respond to

I have been asked to determine the improvement of an IFL on a z9 BC over a z900.
Mhz is something the people being presented to understand.
It does not compare to the same speed on say INTEL.

Since that number would be meaningless, no. I mean, you might find one
floating about out there as a factoid, but it has zero value. Why do you
care? (Reference recent discussion in IBM-MAIN.)
