IBM introduced the POWER7+ processor at the Hot Chips 24 conference in August 2012. It is an updated version with higher speeds, more cache and integrated accelerators. It is manufactured on a 32 nm fabrication process. [19] The first boxes to ship with the POWER7+ processors were IBM Power 770 and 780 servers.
In April 2008, IBM officially merged the two lines of servers and workstations under the same name, Power, [2] and later Power Systems, with identical hardware and a choice of operating systems, software, and service contracts, [3] based formerly on a POWER6 architecture. The PowerPC line was discontinued.
In 1974 IBM started a project to build a telephone switching computer that required, for the time, immense computational power. Since the application was comparably simple, this machine would need only to perform I/O, branches, add register-register, move data between registers and memory, and would have no need for special instructions to perform heavy arithmetic.

Watson, with its 90 IBM Power 750 servers laced together, intones its answers with a robotic voice coming from a black rectangular box with a flashing globe stationed between the two Jeopardy ...
IBM POWER is a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by IBM. The name is an acronym for Performance Optimization With Enhanced RISC. [1] The ISA is used as base for high end microprocessors from IBM during the 1990s and were used in many of IBM's servers, minicomputers, workstations, and ...
POWER9 is a family of superscalar, multithreading, multi-core microprocessors produced by IBM, based on the Power ISA.It was announced in August 2016. [2] The POWER9-based processors are being manufactured using a 14 nm FinFET process, [3] in 12- and 24-core versions, for scale out and scale up applications, [3] and possibly other variations, since the POWER9 architecture is open for licensing ...
The April 2012 releases by IBM of PowerLinux were designed specifically to run the Linux kernel on the company's POWER7-based systems. Unlike servers built on the Intel Xeon processor, an x86 descendant with two threads per core, the POWER7 processor provides four threads per core.
