As far as I know there are only two things IBM has said publicly about a future mainframe processor, and I guess they could be the same or different. Here's the first, from August:
http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/IBM-z6-mainframe-microprocessor-Webb.pdf which says "50+ instructions added to improve compiled code efficiency." The second is what the IBM CFO said in his prepared remarks concerning IBM's 4th quarter, 2007 earnings. Beyond that, I haven't seen any more information. So let's wait to see if/when IBM says more, OK? - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
