IBM unveils new Power processors

IBM has recently rolled out its latest version of the Power processors that are touted to lay the foundation for companies’ green IT efforts, while helping the company’s bottomline by opening up new revenue streams. The Power 7 chips will utilize a mere 25% of the energy used by its predecessor, the Power 6, although it boasts double the performance. Main rivals for the Power 7 chips would include Sparc and Niagara processors from Suna nd Hewlett-Packard’s Itanium chips. Good to see IBM helping keep the earth green – let us hope that other companies will also not let up on their efforts.
