When I first heard about eCLipz, I thought it was pushing towards a single processor architecture for all three series. From today's article, it seems as though z/Series machines still get quite distinct CPUs, though. Do you know to what extend these processors are relatives of the POWER9?

POWER6 and z10 share functional blocks, but the ISAs are pretty different.

I'm not familiar with the z architecture enough to comment with any sense of certainty, and the people I'd normally pester are on vacation, unfortunately.
