This is a small revolution in the mainframe world: IBM announces a dual processor architecture by integrating an Arm design into the Z and Linux One systems. Objective: to enable the native execution of Arm apps on Z. This evolution will be integrated into the next generation of the manufacturer's mainframe. "This new processor is developed to allow companies to simultaneously run native Linux Arm environments with z/OS and Linux on IBM Z, while…
IBM has just lifted the veil on an innovation that could well break the computer silos. A processor able to speak natively two languages so far separated, that of the mainframes and that of ARM.
At Hot Chips 2026, IBM unveiled an unusual processor for upcoming IBM Z and LinuxONE systems. For the first time, the design combines the IBM z/Architecture and Arm within the same physical CPU core. This means a single core can execute both native IBM Z and Arm instructions. The processor, developed using 2nm technology, features eleven high-performance cores designed to operate at over 5.7 GHz. Crucially, IBM hasn't simply placed different cor…
