How IBM Plans to Redefine AI Performance with Its New Hardware
IBM's (NYSE:IBM) latest AI spectacle comes July 25, the company's rolling out its Power11 chips and next-gen serversdesigned to keep your data center humming (no scheduled downtime) and sniff out ransomware in under a minute. It's the first big Power upgrade since 2020's Power10, and it packs a punch: IBM claims up to 55% faster cores than Power9 and about 45% more capacity than Power10 in entry and mid-tier boxes. What's cool is that these new systems will be the first to support IBM's in-house Spyre AI accelerator, so you can run AI inference right alongside your usual hybrid-cloud workloads. As Tom McPherson, IBM's Power Systems GM, put it: they're leveraging the full IBM stack to blend AI, automation and rock-solid security. Why it matters: AI workloads are gobbling up compute cycles, and threats like ransomware aren't taking breaks. A setup that combines serious performance gains with built-in security features could give IBM an edge over the usual x86 servers. No surprise IBM's stock ticked up about 0.5% on the news. If you're planning your next enterprise AI rollout, Power11 might be worth a look. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
