What’s the Story with Power6+ Chips?

As I explained in last week’s issue, I was not surprised that IBM was making server announcements relating to the Power6+ processor. What I didn’t expect to learn was that Big Blue already began the rollout out of Power6+ machines last fall and decided to not tell anyone about it. What good is a kicker if you don’t kick up the clock speeds and brag about new features? This is still the IT industry, right? For many years now, the i platform folks have been trying to shy away from talking about feeds and speeds and talk about the benefits |
