He mentioned 90% of their datacenter operations. I assume the remaining 10% would be the assorted legacy every large company has of SPARC, PA-RISC, POWER, i and zSeries accretes over time.

Those will remain where they are and, eventually be ported or replaced (or kept alive - IBM mainframes have been legacy-friendly for over 50 years now) by newer systems as they are phased out.
