IBM Rolls Out First Power10 Server
While the largest server manufacturers focus on systems built around industry-standard x86 chips, International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) goes a different way. The century-old tech giant sold off its x86-based server business long ago and today, it focuses on hulking mainframes and its high-end Power servers. IBM is still the fifth-largest server manufacturer in the world in terms of revenue, capturing just over 5% of the market in the first quarter of this year.
IBM's Power systems are not for everyone. Built around the company's own Power processors, these systems are meant for enterprise workloads that need extreme efficiency, reliability, security, and scalability. IBM's latest Power10 processor, built on a 7nm manufacturing process, includes advanced security features and big jumps in performance, especially when it comes to artificial-intelligence workloads.
