IBM announced details of its 5.2GHz z196 flagship CPU, which has an 18% higher clock frequency than its predecessor, the 4.4GHz z10 processor. The thermal performance is similar to that of older processors. According to EETimes, IBM has moved the z196 processor from the 65nm platform to the 45nm platform. This process makes the z196 clock faster and uses less power.
The processor also uses embedded DRAM and out-of-order architecture. If IT developers run applications on this processor, their efficiency will increase by 40%. But Jim Warnock, IBM senior engineer, said that there is still a lot of room for improvement in this processor, but the increase in frequency will not be without limits. IBM is the only company that produces high-end high-frequency processors.
The z196 is currently used in multi-chip modules on IBM z-series servers, including modules with 6 CPUs and 2 L4 cache chips. The z196 chip uses the CISCz architecture and consists of 1.4 billion transistors. The total chip size is 512.3 square millimeters. Each of the four cores consists of a 64KB level 1 instruction cache, a 128KB level 1 data cache, and a 1.5MB level 2 cache, while a 24MB level 3 cache is shared by all cores and consists of two on-chip level 3 levels. Cache integrated circuit control.
The product has six RISC-like execution units, including two integer units, two load storage units, a binary floating point unit and a decimal floating point unit, and also includes a DDR3 RAM memory controller.
