The latest generation of IBM Power Systems servers was designed from the ground up to offer exceptional performance for analytics, machine-learning and cognitive workloads. To help businesses gain insight faster from larger sets of data, the latest POWER processors offer more threads, greater memory bandwidth and larger cache versus comparable x86-architecture processors. They also offer significant gains over the previous generation of POWER processors.

Equally, the IBM architecture enables very close coupling of POWER CPUs with GPU accelerators to deliver order-of-magnitude improvements in performance for analytics and machine learning. IBM benchmarking shows that Apache Spark offers double the per-core performance on the Power architecture versus x86.
