Dave explores the IBM z16 mainframe from design to assembly and testing. What’s inside a modern IBM z16 mainframe that makes it relevant today?

Errata:
Around 5:30, the CPUs are LGA(Land Grid Array), not PGA
At about 7:07 should be 200 cores, not 256.
At 20:03, they now achieve eight nines of reliability for both z16 and its Linux-only counterpart, the IBM LinuxONE 4. In a LinuxONE config, max RAM is 48TB.
