It depends.
The first engine is 100%.
The second gives you 86% more (approx).

The 9th gives you ...
MSUs are assigned based on the total capacity of the CEC.
Not on the individual CP's.

The timing is the problem for me. I'm trying to hold off a z890 purchase so
our hardware doesn't go obsolete during shipment.
They've just (today) announced obsolessence of the z/900 (sales - June;
upgrades - October).
And, the z9 is upgradable from the z/990.
So, I wouldn't worry for awhile.
Do you have a link to the letter?

IMHO the announcement is quite irrelevant.
IMHO the announcement is quite irrelevant.
The OP was concerned about his equipment going obsolete.
I was trying to point out that it's not a great concern.
Also, you'll find that in North America, obsolete equipment/software is
relevant.
There's a different economic dynamic, in most cases.
As far as the z8 is concerned, you're going to have to wait until IBM announces
it.
Have you tried Hesh Wiener ( http://www.tech-news.com ) for pricing?
