IBM Power6 Microprocessor
Hundreds of IBM Power6 microprocessors on a silicon wafer. The wafer is cut into individual chips that are then packaged and built into new IBM servers that offer twice the performance with virtually no increase in energy consumption. Each chip has two cores, runs at speeds up to 4.7GHz, and contains 790 million transistors. Courtesy of International Business Machines Corporation. Unauthorized use not permitted.
