TL;DR: POWERS offers significantly increased performance over previous POWER designs by incorporating simultaneous multithreading, an enhanced memory subsystem, and extensive RAS and power management support.

TL;DR: Some of the circuit methodology and implementation innovations used in the development of POWER6, with particular emphasis on custom, synthesized, register file and SRAM design, as well as the electrical characterizations performed in the lab are described.

TL;DR: The 276M transistor processor is implemented in 130nm silicon-on-insulator technology with 8-level of Cu metallization and operates at >1.5 GHz.

TL;DR: POWER5/sup TM/ is the next generation of IBM's POWER microprocessors, sets a new standard of server performance by incorporating simultaneous multithreading (SMT), an enhanced distributed switch and memory subsystem supporting 164w SMP, and extensive RAS support.
