IBM To Release a New Power6 in 2007

AMD was the first CPU manufacturer to stop the "GHz race"; Intel followed after failing to deliver a PIV clocked at 4GHz due to the huge power consumption as well as the heat release issue.
From then, AMD and Intel have been developing multicore architecture as well as promoting performance as a marketing argument instead of clock frequency; one could have thought that IBM will follow the same strategy. No.
IBM has announced that it will release in 2007 a new Power6, clocked at 4-5GHz, as a dual core CPU sporting 8MB of cache. It will be engraved using 65nm processing, using the SOI technology and will have a working tension of only 0.8V.
This processor remains a server-dedicated CPU with specifications and parameters much different than those found in our computers.
