Ted, Wow, that is old. The IBM 3090 is from back in the 80s. That's a life time in the computer world. Actually, I don't think IBM "officially" publishes MIPS figures for its new machine. They use either the LSPR values based on workload type or MSUs for software pricing. Other entities (Isham Research, Cheryl Watson) do publish MIPS values.
