It features the next generation of IBM's CMOS mainframe technology, with a 10-core CPU chip using 14 nm silicon-on-insulator technology, and running at 5.2GHz, claimed to be the fastest processor in the industry. Each core has hardware accelerated encryption implementing a CP Assist for Cryptographic Function (CPACF). The CPU also has 1.5 times more on-chip cache per core compared to the z13. There can be up to 32TB of memory, three times the z13 maximum, and its IO is three times faster as well.
- Chaebixi 9y agoclaimed to be the fastest processor in the industry. Defined how?
- master565 9y agoTechnically there can be up to 16PB of memory in all their 64-bit systems, I just don't think IBM is going to sell you more than 32. The Z13 definitely sold up to 20TB, though half that was usually for redundancy.
