IBM Touts Power6 Microprocessors at 5GHz
 

International Business Machines has announced at Microprocessor Forum Fall 2006 that the next-generation Power6 processor for blade servers and similar applications will run at up to 5GHz and will still contain only two processing engines. By contrast, Intel’s and AMD’s processors for similar markets expected to be available in 2007 will have four cores and will run at much lower clock-speeds.
