>From Mr. Google - see below. (z15 is pretty impressive and the z16 is now
the current shipping mainframe. Google IBM z16 and read specs - very
impressive.)

<IBM z15 is designed as an extendable system using 19" packaging. The system
is 40u in height with a 38u height reduction. It runs at 5.2GHz processor
frequency, offers 8TB memory per CPC drawer for up to 40TB per machine, 85
partitions, and up to 190 cores to configure (versus 170 on z14).Nov 15,
