Within a span of 12 months, IBM has released three Power Architecture based offerings:
The processor core PowerPC476FP as the highest performance, highest throughput processor for System-on-chip (SoC) product families in the communication, storage, consumer, and aerospace and defense markets. Related to the server environment, IBM announced its next-generation server chip, the POWER7. The chip has up to eight cores and a dual-chip module holds two processors for a total of 16 cores -- one of the fastest chips to date based on this scientific-centric performance benchmark. Recently, IBM released Power Edge of Network (PowerEN) processor which delivers throughput oriented computing, connectivity efficiency, flexible and scalable resource deployment capability to meet the continually evolving demands of workload optimized Smarter Systems.
