IBM Power7

In a move which aims to beat up Oracle and send HP dashing for cover, IBM started shipping it's lower end Power7 servers in the final quarter of 2010.

Power7 systems can process more data than its predecessor the Power6 and deliver twice the performance and four times the virtualisation capabilities for the same price as the Power6 servers, all while consuming half the energy.

New POWER7™ processor-based systems represent a true leap forward to more intelligent systems that minimize complexity, automate processes, and reduce energy consumption, downtime and other operational costs. On a smarter planet these are the only benchmarks that matter.

Featuring an innovative multi-core, 45 nanometer design, running at speeds of over 4.1 GHz, with up to 8-cores per socket, and four threads per core, enabling each chip to run 32 simultaneous tasks. It has four times the number of cores and eight times the number of threads per chip than the Power6.

Active Memory Expansion helps reduce memory costs by enabling physical memory to be logically expanded up to 100 percent for some workloads – such as SAP

POWER7 systems combined with IBM systems software, middleware and storage deliver unprecedented performance for both transactional and throughput computing.
