New IBM POWER8 Chip with NVIDIA NVLink(TM) Vs Intel x86-based server

Data-intensive workloads, rich-data applications, performance and greater computing efficiency, Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning and Advanced Analytics are at the core of stakes. 

IBM’s new series of new servers are designed to help propel cognitive workloads and to drive greater data center efficiency. 

One can observe that, featuring a new chip, the Linux-based lineup incorporates innovations from the OpenPOWER community that can deliver higher levels of performance and greater computing efficiency than available on any Intel x86-based server. 

 A large cluster of the new IBM OpenPOWER servers can run a data-intensive workload three times faster than its former x86-based infrastructure, while using fewer servers to deliver faster performance.
