z12 is aggregate 75BIPS (for 101 processors, 50% more than 80processor z196 at 50BIPS). A z12 processor is 25% more powerful (than z196 engine) at 1,600MIPS (1.6BIPS). 75BIPS/101processors is 743MIPS/processor (less than half of the 1,600MIPS/processor mentioned in article) ... compared to 50BIPS/80processors or 625MIPS/processor for z196 cross-over from recent threads: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012l.html#34 X86 server http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012l.html#42 I.B.M.
