I don't think you'll ever get a definitive answer, and comparing parts won't help much. My only answer is the same as what Justice Stewart wrote in 1964. Yes, a z16 is actually a mainframe. Why? Because I know it when I see it.

Maybe if you told us why you're asking, people could give better answers.

In my opinion the only difference between a z16 running z/OS and a Google 
server is design philosophy and nothing more. z16 running z/OS is vastly 
superior but the ARS Technica article made it clear that people think the z16 
is a mainframe. I want to understand the substantive real difference between a 
z16 and a Google server. I want to know the difference between any server and 
mainframe / z16. Is z16 actually a mainframe?
