That's not what I meant. Once the analysis, the understanding, and the gut
instinct have all been factored in, what numbers from IBM are meaningful to use
to specify to management which CPU will work and which one won't? Given that
MIPS ratings are meaningless, how does one talk to management about how a new
CPU will handle the workload differently? What's the basis for discussion?
Thanks,
Greg

But, it is a basic understanding of what your workload is, how the various
components interact, seasonality, tracking, constant revision of forecasts,
analysis of announcements, LSPR, zPCR, understanding of the relationships
between existing models within and without the same processor family, along
with experience and gut instinct, among other things.
Also, you should have the answer ready before the question is asked.
