Well, I got connected to AI, and got into a bit of a chat.
Bottom line, all things considered, cloud will cost more over
time than using mainframes and merging linux workloads under z/VM.
But sales people revenue off of modernization off to a cloud and
not getting all the speed and processing a z/Arch machine can do
on the MVS side and the Unix System Services side.
Things go in cycles. Wonder if I will live long enough to migrate
back to z/Arch or whatever it will be called with the next
generation...

They use far less Electricity than Clouds and can do more work

I don't have pilot.... What answer would one get to a question
of which is faster (second question more efficient) a 4 CORE

I just wonder what answer one would get....

If AI correct answers was a standard, "I'm sorry Dave" would
be the most common answer. Better an incorrect answer than no
answer at all.
I asked copilot "which cpu has the fastest single core
speed?". It did not answer IBM TELUM where the instruction set
and IBM boasts each performs 10X better than any other CPU
core while running Linux.
I asked copilot "is el capitan supercomputer a server farm?"
and it replied, "not exactly". Copiliot ignores that el
capitan is built using 5,000 blade servers, each running Linux
that boasts a network speed of 12tb/sec. "server" is literally
in the name.
