International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) doesn't manufacture semiconductors anymore, instead relying on third-party foundries to build its POWER server chips. The company revealed its latest POWER processor on Monday, aimed squarely at hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence.
IBM's POWER10 processor won't be available in systems until the second half of 2021, but when it arrives it will provide substantial improvements over the previous POWER9 processor. IBM has tapped Samsung to manufacture the chips using a 7nm process. POWER9 processors, launched in late 2017, used a 14nm manufacturing process.
