IBM's POWER10 Processor

The IBM POWER10 processor represents the 10th generation of the POWER family of enterprise computing engines. It is built on a balance of computation and bandwidth, delivered by powerful processing cores and intrachip interconnect, respectively. Multiple system interconnect infrastructures support configurations with up to 16 processor chips and up to 1920 simultaneous threads of execution, as well as an expansive memory system with up to 2 Petabytes of addressing space. Cross-system memory sharing and coherent accelerator attach are also supported. The POWER10 processing core has been significantly enhanced over its POWER9 predecessor, including the addition of an all-new matrix math engine. Throughput gains from POWER9 to POWER10 average 30% at the core level and three-fold at the socket level. Those gains can reach ten- or twenty-fold at the socket level for matrix-intensive computations.
