John, Not a weird question at all. I have the same question - and unfortunately no answer for it.
Rex -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of McKown, John Sent: Friday, February 05, 2010 9:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: z9 / z10 hardware question - unused CPs This is a weird question (again). But I know that Intel processor can go into a low power state when they are not being used. This is to reduce the power requirements based upon need (and to extend laptop battery time). So I was curious if the CPs, especially the unlicensed / unused, in a z9 or z10 would likewise be in a lower power state? After all, if I cannot use the CP for anything, why should it be using electricity? Just a curiousity.
