IBM's eight-core Power7 chip to clock in at 4.0GHz (theregister.co.uk) 6 points by nickb 18y ago ↗ HN
[–] sophist 18y ago ↗ Didn't they get the memo? You're supposed to add more cores now instead of clockspeed. [–] wmf 18y ago ↗ Compared to the dual-core 5 GHz Power6, yes, I think they got the memo. [–] Tamerlin 18y ago ↗ What, eight cores isn't enough?They're really pulling out the stops on POWER. It's going to be interesting to see how well Itanium stacks up (if at all).
