http://supercomputingonline.com/article.php?sid=12519
These DARPA initiatives will propel IBM to far exceed the traditional 2X performance improvement over 18 months," said Ravi Arimilli, IBM Fellow and Principal Investigator of POWER7 processor . "We are embarking on a bold journey to deliver a 100X improvement in sustained performance over 48 months with a simpler and easy to use platform. Harnessing the development capabilities of IBM towards this disruptive design will drive the frontiers of science and business.
500 people team moves Power 7 up, since April 2005 !.
Power 7 will run on Torrenza socket!
AMD's Torrenza.
Cray follows the Petaflops race with Cascade.
And probably with Torrenza sockets too.
