Moore's Law meets the law of physics
“Moore's law is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years.” Wikipedia
© 2015 IBM Corporation
For almost 5 decades we have relied on exponential technology change
If cars were like chips:
1970 − 15 mpg
1980 − 1,500 mpg
1990 − 150,000 mpg
2000 − 15 Million mpg
2010 − 150 Million mpg
2020 − 1 Billion mpg

Happening today! OpenPOWER Summit China
● SuperVessel: https://ptopenlab.com/cloudlabconsole/index.html
– R&D environment for Open Source community, professors and students – already expanded to 30 universities in 6 months
– FGPA and GPU accelerators, built with OpenStack– Create, test and pilot applications on POWER architecture
● Alpha Data and fellow OpenPOWER member Xilinx announce acceleration development kit
● Suzhou PowerCore announce general availability of CP1, the first derivative POWER chip
● Zoom Netcom formally introduce RedPOWER, incorporating PowerCore's CP1 processor and China's first two socket "all domestic made" server.
● Tyan’s previously sold out GN70-BP010 OpenPOWER customer reference systems are available for immediate shipment.
● Plus! Last week - IBM joined China’s Open Data Center Committee (ODCC), a consortium in China creating new server specifications for hyperscale China data centers

The level of support behind the OpenPOWER Foundation leads me to believe that IBM has a real chance at ending Intel's server chip monopoly.” [IBM is the real threat to Intel’s server dominance, Motley Fool] “
http://www.rackspace.com/blog/openpower-opening-the-stack-all-the-way-down/
Both the current results and future potential are so promising that we are preparing to build an OpenPOWER-based, Open Compute platform. And it will run OpenStack services.
Up to 100x the power of a classic x86 setup
“ The new systems incorporate technologies from IBM and other providers that are part of OpenPOWER…which allow you to achieve unprecedented computing performance. [Cloud Times]
http://labs.runabove.com/power8/
… doubling the performance of its already powerful predecessor, Power7+. The POWER8 specs are mind boggling. [Microprocessor report]
“IBM’s huge advantages in multithreading and memory bandwidth favor POWER8 when running larger test suites that more closely reflect real-world enterprise applications.
