The IBM processor is available at frequencies of
3.1 GHz, 3.4 GHz, 3.5 GHz, and 4.0 GHz.
The larger IBM Level 3 cache provides greater
bandwidth, capacity, and reliability.
The newly introduced dual chip module (DCM).
New 10GBase-T options for the Integrated Multifunction Card that
provides two USB ports, one serial port, and four Ethernet
connectors for a processor enclosure and does not require a PCI
slot.
New IBM PowerVM V2.2.2 features, such as 20 LPARs per core.
The improved IBM Active Memory Expansion technology provides
more usable memory than is physically installed in the system.
Professionals who want to acquire a better understanding of IBM
Power Systems products should read this paper.
This Redpaper expands the current set of IBM Power Systems
documentation by providing a desktop reference that offers a detailed
technical description of the 750 and 760 systems.
This paper does not replace the latest marketing materials and
