IBM Launches Processor Power7

IBM makes competition in the server market so hot. On Monday the company was launched Power7 processor. This is a processor that can accommodate more multithreaded cores and its ability to increase. As a result, server performance can be improved.
Power7 chip capable of supporting eight cores. Each core capable of running four threads. As a result, a chip capable Power7 tasks simultaneously 32. This capability is four times higher than the Power6 chip. He is also capable of running eight times more than the Power6 thread.
However, more efficient energy needs. Because he has a Unique technology Intelligent Energy. This technology will turn off unnecessary parts. Chip's clock speed can also be derived on a single server or more than one.
Ross Mauri, General Manager of IBM's Power Systems unit in New York said the speed Power7 between 3 GHz and 4.14 GHz. Chips will be sold with two, six, or eight cores.
Processor, which can work on AIX operating systems, enterprise Linux from Red Hat and Suse, produced with a 45 nanometer process technology. Also had improved memory so that she could perform tasks more quickly.
This new chip technology to boost the speed TurboCore current core for increased performance. He also put the memory and the bandwidth of the eight cores to the back four active cores to increase performance per core.
Along with the launch of the chip, IBM also launched Power7-based servers, the Power 780 and Power 770. This is a high-end servers with a modular design and supports 64 core Power7. IBM also launched the server and the 750 Express 755 Express.
Birth Power7 make competition in the market for high end processors is getting hot. Intel Itanium is a champion. Meanwhile, Sun Microsystems Sparc candidate. Intel will launch a newer version of the coded Tukwila Itanium next week. These chips go into servers made by the market through Hewlett-Packard is also a competitor of IBM.
