I really doubt they are any more powerful than the best x86 rack servers. Their featurefulness is super dated. They are definitely not cost effective (good luck buying it from IBM without a huge contract).

I pity the company that gets into mainframes today. Does that even exist?

It's a proprietary nightmare.
