Hmm... I had found that man page earlier, but it also seemed out of date
and I thought I was just not finding the right page. So I suppose my next
question is: Is there a list of CPU types associated with model? For
example, a pSeries 610 uses a 64-bit POWER3-II architecture, but a
pSeries 620 Model 6F0 has a 64-bit RS64 IV architecture.

If both model numbers happen to be the same, then how do I tell the machines
apart? Also, is there some big list somewhere that contains what model
matches with what architecture? And what is binary compatible with what?

I'm trying to figure out all of the architectures IBM uses and how they relate
to each other....

Thanks.
