IBM launching world's fastest microprocessor.

[Rapture]

Big Blue says that the shiny new System z10 you just installed in your basement yesterday is officially obsolete and should be relegated to household media streaming/torrent duty in the wake of its replacement. Behold the zEnterprise System, and its central compute server the zEnterprise 196, capable of processing more instructions than your puny humanoid mind could ever dream of issuing. Don't look now, but your girly-man netbook just peed itself.

Mi koji smo iscekivali i bili hajpovani ovim, mozemo samo reci, its a lie 🙂
(bombasticne najave su bile da ce u okviru z196 moci zajedno da rade z/OS, a jos i linux/aix pa cak i windows koji bi se vrteli na blejdovima koji dolaze u okviru blejd centra koji pak dolazi sa z kutijom, a sve to centralno upravljano)

mislim da je ovde akcenat na Power7 koji radi na 5.2GHz...

znam da se pricalo da, za razliku od Power6, Power7 nece imati visoke taktove... kad ono preko 5GHz ko 6ica...


btw igore to sto spominjes AIX, Linux, Windows svi odjednom... to mi lici na Personalities koje je IBM predstavio kao buducnost jos 90tih... 🙂 🙂 🙂

EDIT: sad procitah malo... vidim da to nije Power7 kao sto pise u linku koji je Rapture ostavio i vidim sta si mislio pod onim da se vrte razliciti OSovi...

"Unlike past models, the new system functions as a hybrid, with a mainframe housed on one side of a cabinet ... and space for server blades on the other."
