IBM power 7

2010 is expected to be a very competitive year for Power System Servers in the market as more companies continue to announce launches of their products, most of them within the mid-year. IBM has promised to release the much anticipated Power7 processor which is set to improve the reliability, scalability and energy-efficiency. The system is designed to hold up critical workload during processing.

The new chip is expected to have enhanced performance while reducing energy consumption by up to four times. According to Scott Handy, the vice president of Power Systems department at IBM the Power7 is designed with much focus on the Unix platform. He says: “We want to position Power as the future of Unix. HP and Sun haven’t caught up to Power6, and we will trounce them with Power7.”

So much is expected from Power7 machines, while those customers that are having the previous versions of Power6 and Power6+ chips being able to upgrade to the newer Power7-based entry Power Systems. The chips will be based on 45-nm technology which will see an increase in the number of cores per set of processor, enhanced multithreading functionality and consequently its overall performance.
