The dual-core POWER5 processor and the dual-core POWER5+™ processor are packaged with the L3 cache chip into a cost-effective DCM package. The QCM is a package that enables entry-level or midrange IBM® System p5™ servers to achieve additional processing density without increasing the footprint.

Intel microprocessors for its future server After investing this much effort in Power4, if IBM fails business, IBM is developing a processor it to deliver a server processor with compelling advantages hopes will fend off the IA-64 juggernaut. Speaking at this over the best IA-64 processors, it will be left with little alter- week’s Microprocessor Forum, chief architect Jim Kahle de- native but to capitulate. If Power4 fails, it will also be a clear scribed IBM’s monster 170-million-transistor Power4 chip, indication to Sun, Compaq, and others that are bucking which boasts two 64-bit 1-GHz five-issue superscalar cores, a IA-64, that the days of proprietary CPUs are numbered.
