Try getting the datasheet from that link.

I'm looking at the announcement. But, being a bit ignorant, there are some
features which I don't know what they are. Any help?
Enhanced Application Preservation?
Enhanced Firmware Simulation? (is that better/faster millicode?)
Partial memory restart?

I'd suggest Redbook about InfiniBand in z10.
John, Infiniband is used a lot in z10 BC (same in EC). There are four
types of fanout cards from CPC drawer. Only one is non-Infiniband, it
is ICB-4. You have two types of IB-oprical for coupling links and one
IB-copper which connects CPC drawer to I/O drawers. Obviously

In few words Infiniband is used for copupling links only, so only z/OS
(and CFCC) can exploit it. So, no VM, VSE, TPF, no Linux.
For Linux, that will be changing in the not too distant future.
How about CPU Measurement Facility?
The announcement pointed us to ResourceLink for more details,
but all that came up was an abstract from the Research Journal:

Mark,
high level answer - CPU measurement facility can be switched on from
HMC when directed by IBM. It will collect extra performance data, very
low level stuff, don't ask about details, I don't know.
It was available before in other form which required an outage (I
don't know if POR or partition
