Read deep into the announcements. Several of these boxes Require SAP HANA
as the primary OS, and the IBM i P group is 20. IBM i and AIX are limited
to 25% of the total machine.
These will need some serious review to understand exactly what's in store
for IBM i .

Looks like the P9s are announced.
20 or 24 core processor boxes (9009-42A/9223-22H) will support IBM i , AIX
and Linux. Lots of other stuff.
Lots to dig through with this announcement .
