International Business Machines (Armonk, N.Y.) has added three new eServer Power5 processors for high-end computing, as the computing giant seeks to take market share away from archrivals Sun and Hewlett-Packard.
IBM released the first of its P5 servers in July. The servers use an architecture optimized to run many applications simultaneously.
Of the three new servers, the IBM p5 595 is considered the flagship model. The server, which incorporates up to 64 P5 microprocessors, is available with a 1.65 GHz or 1.90 GHz processor. It outperformed Sun and HP servers in seven benchmarks, according to the company.
Also new are the p5 590, with a 1.65 GHz clock and scaling as many as 32 processors, and i5 595, which the company said delivers four times the performance of the predecessor iSeries 890 32-way server.
