Any indication on whether their plan to migrate within one year are
realistic ?

This project, if it goes with 8086s, may be a key, high visibility
project, which will make vendors starts to build 8086 based mainframes.
Oooks to me like they have been shy in the last two years despite the
8086 having gotten quickpath (CSI) giving it EV7 like capabilities.
