The term “i390” has been socialized outside of IBM. It is the name given by IBM to the micro-architecture underneath S/390 and z/Architecture.

Re: Why Linux Developers Should Reconsider IBM Mainframes - Linux.com
Now that I think about it, I don't think there was ever an i390 -- although
there was an i370, which died a long time ago (based on the very first port
of what was then not yet z/Architecture, s390 took its place when IBM
decided it'd participate in GNU tools development way back circa 2000/2001.
s390x (z/Architecture) was introduced almost immediately after s390 came on
board, and it seems to be the ID "with legs". In modern terms, i390 means
nothing (unless someone would care to revive it), s390 means XA, s390x
still means z/Architecture as it always has.
You're right. The s390x tag isn't used much outside of GNU/Linux & BSD
circles. Too bad. I think it's a very convenient shorthand (not to mention
10 characters' less typing to do), YMMV :-)
