Big Blue inadvertently revealed details about its new z10 Enterprise Class 
mainframe set to launch on Feb. 26, as well as details on z/OS v1.10, a new 
version of the mainframe OS due out in September. 'According to an internal 
IBM document obtained by SearchDataCenter.com, the z10 Enterprise Class will 
come in five different models and feature 64-way chips, compared with the 
54-way z9 mainframes and earlier 32-way models. 

In a conference call last month, IBM CFO Mark Loughridge told investors that 
the z10 would have 50% more capacity, which indicates that it will probably 
tap out at around 27,000 million instructions per second (MIPS) at the top 
end, compared with about 18,000 MIPS on the previous z9 Enterprise Class.
