IBM has announced the launch of its “most resilient and energy-efficient processor” to date, which will be used in knowledge centers through corporations that use hybrid cloud computing.
The IBM Power10 is the first 7nm processor released through the tech giant.Manufactured through Samsung Electronics, it is said that the new intermediate knowledge chip can handle three times the workload of its predecessor, the IBM Power9, which was introduced in 2017.
The Power10’s progression took five years and was designed to be up to 20 times faster in synthetic intelligence computing (AI) responsibilities than the Power9 chip, greatly improving the power of knowledge centers.
It is expected to compete with Intel’s 7nm processors, which last month was shown to be 12 months the company’s internal targets, extending the release date to 2022 or 2023 at the earliest.
The Power10 is expected to launch earlier, and IBM estimates that the chip will begin shipping by 2021.
Along with improved efficiency, Power10 is also expected to bring new innovations to container security, such as transparent reminiscence encryption for end-to-end security.
It will also come with IBM’s new reminiscence boot technology, which aims to facilitate integration between IBM Power10 processor formula groups, allowing them to “access and percentage of the reminiscence of others, creating multi-petabyte reminiscent groups.”
Commenting on the announcement, Stephen Leonard, Managing Director of IBM Cognitive Systems, said that “enterprise-grade hybrid clouds require an onsite and offsite architecture that includes co-optimized hardware and software.”
“With IBM Power10, we designed the first processor for the enterprise hybrid cloud, providing the functionality and security consumers expect from IBM.With our stated purpose of making Red Hat OpenShift the default selection for hybrid cloud, IBM Power10 provides hardware capacity and advanced container security to the IT infrastructure,” he added.
The announcement comes a week after IBM signed a multi-year partnership with Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) to drive the company’s hybrid cloud transformation into operating expenses and build IT resilience.
