IBM Launches 7nm Power10 Processor

[erek]

"Considering that the Summit supercomputer has only dropped to second place on the fastest list and still counts as the fifth most efficient supercomputer operating today, it seems likely a supercomputer using Power10 processors is going to appear and jump immediately to the top of the charts within a few years."

Excited?

I'll be interested if Raptor Computing Systems comes out with some of these as they had some of the earlier power 9 systems IIRC. I have to talk myself out of just grabbing a motherboard + power9 cpu combo a few times, I might actually bite on a power 10 system.

Having grown up in the Mac OS Power PC world, I can't help but get excited. LOL

It really should be Bender.

Protip: Read ALL press releases in Bender's voice. It will help. Trust me.

Very unlikely unfortunately (I have a POWER9 Blackbird and it's awesome):
