Around here, people are betting on EC14 or EC15. We don't understand where the name z196 came from, but didn't z9's come out in 2009, z10's in 2010, EC12's in 2012...
I realize time flies, but the IBM Danu z9-109 EC 2094 (9th generation processor) was announced in July 2005 and available in the third quarter of that year. The IBM z10 EC 2097 (10th generation) was first available in 1Q 2008. The IBM z196 zEnterprise 2817 (11th generation) was first available in 3Q 2010. The IBM zEnterprise EC12 2827 (12th generation) was first available in 3Q 2012.
Bob Shannon has already answered the question about what z196 means. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
