360/50 is a 32-bit machine, the real thing has a core memory 
"local store" and (3, IIRC) built-in channels.  it does not 
allow memory interleaving.

The 360/65 has a 64-bit path to memory, and does permit 
interleaving.  it also allows two /65s to be put together in 
a multiprocessor system.  There are a few additional 
instructions to communicate between CPUs.  The 65 has solid 
state local store, and a 56-bit ALU, so it can do 
double-precision floating-point arithmetic without having to 
double up the cycles, as the /50 does.  The /65 has no 
built-in channels.
