there are so few Z series being sold that they are increasingly
leveraging other technologies (with some differentiation layer on top).

z12 processor was 32nm technology ... I had calculated that based on
1qtr2014 sale numbers and straight remap 32nm to 14nm and 300mm to 450mm
wafers ... processor chips for several years of z mainframe sales could
be handled by a single wafer (little over decade ago I had chip done and
minimum wafer run was six wafers, assume that it is still something
similar).
