Where do you get that? Are you confusing the z9 with
the IBM Roadrunner?
The z9 is full of z9 microprocessors, which natively execute the
z/Architecture 1 instruction set, which is an enhanced version of
ESA/390, which was an enhanced version of ESA/370, which was an enhanced
version of System/370 XA, which was an enhanced version of System/370,
which was an enhanced version of System/360.
In other words, the z9 microprocessor can natively execute System/360
and System/370 code.
