IBM has recently renamed all their product lines to "xSeries", for
some value of x.  I'm not sure what the 390 is; I thought I heard
"cSeries", but I was speaking to an American, so it could have been
"zSeries".  In any case, what I see there suggests that it's a new
development: it's a 64 bit machine, where the /390 is 32 bits (I
think).  That certainly appears borne out by

More traditional processors are described at
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/s390/pes/ and, which includes links to
PDF format docco.
