IBM provided the CPU POWER10, developed over five years, using hundreds of new and the claimed patents. It is expected that systems that take advantage of IBM POWER10, will appear in the second half of 2021, which will improve the company’s position in the highly competitive cloud computing market.
Corporation International Business Machines Corp (IBM) on Monday announced the release of a new Central processing unit (CPU) for data centers POWER10.
According to a press release from the company, the processor is made in the form factor of 7 nm with energy efficiency and three times the best capacity workloads than the previous generation IBM POWER9 CPUs.
The Power 10 will be made by Samsung and are expected to be issued in the second half of 2021. This will allow IBM to better compete with Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD), Intel (INTC) and other manufacturers.
AMD also uses the 7-nm technology for their chips manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC), outperforming and winning in the price range from Intel, which is still considered the industry leader CPU for data centers.
Intel was the last one at the same time it developed and manufactured its own processors, but recently announced the contract for “outsourcing of the production of the new chips” with TSMC.
IBM said its new 7-nm processor POWER10 has been developed over five years, using hundreds of new and the claimed patents. Improved capacity of the energy efficiency of the processor in the same power range as the previous generation had achieved higher performance encryption for better security, and improved architecture, allowing faster to perform calculations in the field of artificial intelligence.
“Hybrid clouds enterprise level requires reliable local and remote architecture that includes hardware and optimized software,” said Stephen Leonard, CEO IBM Cognitive Systems. “With IBM POWER10 we have developed a first-class processor for enterprise hybrid cloud, providing the performance and security that customers expect from IBM. With our stated goal to make Red Hat OpenShift default choice for hybrid cloud, IBM POWER10 provides hardware capacity and improving security to the level it infrastructure”.
