The 3890 (Apache) was also two processors, but in one frame, not two  
as were used in the then current IBM products and the earlier 580.

The 5890M could accommodate up to 16 processors in the one frame.

The then current IBM CMOS product (TPS, e.g.) had seven processors on  
the one (and only) processor card, with six of the S/390 CPUs being  
true CPUs (MVS, VS, e.g.) with the remaining CPU performing the  
function of the channel processor using firmware which had been  
ported from the earlier RISC channel processor to S/390 code for this  
application.
