I'm not a 100% on this, but I'm not aware of any commercial processor
that approachs the speed of a 9406-595 ??? (one year old machine)

 From the sales manual:

IBM eServer i5 595

The IBM eServer i5 model 595 is the largest iSeries server ever
announced with up to 165,000 CPW and 1TB of memory.

It is offered as an 8/16-way, 16/32-way, and 32/64-way server.

This is a seriously fast machine no matter how you measure speed.

I suspect the P series "cousins" holds any other records that might be
available. P5-595
