I'm not an expert here but it looks like IBM is back up to shipping 5.5Ghz chips in the EC12 as of December 2012. Are these still POWER6 chips as an option or fixed and faster POWER7?

- wmf 13y agoSystem z mainframes use z/Architecture processors, not POWER. POWER7 runs around 4 GHz.
- apaprocki 13y agoAs sibling mentions, they're not POWER. The max Ghz for each rev is POWER5 2.3Ghz, POWER6 5Ghz, POWER7 4Ghz.
- filereaper 13y agoapaprocki, you've been absolutely spot on. Highest clocking POWER processor offered is the 4.42 Ghz P7+ System p 780: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/hardware/780/specs.html http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/hardware/780/specs.html And yea, POWER 6's design was a bad decision.
