For several generations IBM has used the same technology in Power and z processor chips. The chips, however, are substantially different.

The wiki "chip" articles since at least Z196 have been about the entire processor complex rather than about the chips themselves. I wish that some of the IBM chip designers would be willing to take on the task of editing those articles. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
