POWER to the people

POWER to the people: "Released in 2003: 276 million transistors per processor
Like the POWER3 and POWER4, the POWER5 unifies the POWER and PowerPC architectures. The POWER5 is also based on the 130-nanometer copper/SOI process, and features communications acceleration, chip multiprocessing, a larger L2 cache, a memory controller on the chip, simultaneous multithreading, advanced power management, eFuse (morphing) and hypervisor technology. IBM servers built with the POWER5 feature up to ten LPARs capable of running up to 256 independent operating systems on the higest end. POWER5 processors can be found hanging about in iSeries and pSeries servers, as well as in the first IBM entry-level UNIX/Linux box, the OpenPower? line. IBM introduced the POWER5+? processors, which are built with a 90-nanometer process similar to that used with the Cell Broadband Engine, in 2005. POWER5+ ups the clockspeed significantly -- on a smaller die"
