IBM increased the Power6 processor clock IBM plans to raise the clock speed of server processors at 5 GHz Power6, which is much higher than competing processors from Intel and Sun. Despite the high frequency, the chip is not heated too much, thanks to what is expressed in 65-nanometer technology, and a supply voltage of only 0.8 V. The bandwidth bus is 75 GB / s. Start selling Power6 processor is designed for mid-2007 and Installer in servers that use from 2 to 64 processors - these data are given at manifesatciji Autumn microprocessor forum, which was held in San Jose, California. Doubling the clock speed of the current Power5 processors, IBM defies modern trends for the sake of lowering the frequency to reduce energy consumption; Instead, IBM made an effort over the efficiency of the chip and some design improvements. At IBM believe that the new processor to attract new categories of beneficiaries, especially those dealing with the processing of transactions and commercial databases. Power5 processors currently used in financial institutions and where it requires large processing power, for example. in designing aircraft and computer simulations of car crashes. Potential competitors are Intel's Itanium and Sun's SPARC, and analysts believe in success, provided that the Power6 works as intended. IBM has upgraded the middle class Unix servers with Power5 processors in February, from 1.9 GHz to 2.2 GHz. The sale will be several versions of the Power6 chip clock speeds of 4 to 5 GHz.
