The Power6 processor – more information
http://www.serverwatch.com/news/article.php/3679271
The computer giant today launched Power6, the latest and clearly the fastest in its Power line of microprocessors. At 4.7 GHz, the dual-core Power6 processor doubles the speed of the previous generation Power5 while using nearly the same amount of electricity to run and cool it, according to IBM.
IBM said the Power6 has achieved an unprecedented first place rank for four benchmarks, including TPC-C transaction processing benchmarks and SPEC results that measure Java performance.
The Power6 processor does look very cool, check out this article which discusses it and has a response from Sun about performance testing, very cool.
