IBM Unveils Next Generation Dual-Architecture Processor for IBM Z and LinuxONE

This feels like a baby step towards Arm being able to emulate z/Arch workloads, maybe with a bit of secret sauce for certain specific operations, which doesn't seem very much like IBM.

Is this like the Transmeta processors doing code translation in hardware?

I was curious, is it conceptually similar to Data General Fountainhead project?

why is IBM moving forward that way

I was reading HN comments yesterday shitting on modern IBM for being a non tech consulting company that has not innovated since the mid nineties.
