IBM is planning POWER 6 CPUs with more than 5 GHz / Freescale joins Power.org
Concerning the clock speed IBM power processors had to stand back behind the competition so far. At the International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in 2006 IBM now showed that the POWER 6 processors, which are still under way, can absolutely manage more than 5 GHz and a higher clock speed.

Furthermore, Motorola spin-off Freescale Semiconductor has joined Power.org, an organisation focused on development around IBM’s POWER architecture.
Freescale and IBM plan several key collaborative efforts, including creating a common instruction set architecture, developing innovations to extend the POWER processors to a broader set of customer applications, enabling Linux on the architecture, and expanding the ecosystem through marketing programs.
Recently, also the Pegasos II design has been published at Power.org (amiga-news.de reported). (ps) (Translation: iw)
