Gadget Metro

One company is out to show that speed really matters. They are talking about a fast and furious microprocessor for your computer. IBM is set to launch a microprocessor so fast, it makes the competition eat its dust.

IBM recently launched Power6, which is probably a misnomer since the product boasts speed, not brute force. However, this microprocessor is so fast, executives of the company note that it can actually download the whole iTunes catalogue real easy. Like 1 minute fast.

Yes! A zooming 60 seconds and every song imaginable would be accessible to you! That is one performance measurement they are showing the public to prove their product is actually the new standard out there.

Another aspect of the Power6 that they are bragging about is the Live Partition Mobility function. What it actually does is it allows you to go from one Unix server to another without compromising your availability. Now, that function is currently in beta.

Another interesting feature: it can operate on even low voltages.
