Power10 is a superscalar, multithreading, multi-core microprocessor family, based on the open source Power ISA, announced in August 2020 and available from September 2021. The processor is designed to have 15 cores available. The main features of Power10 are higher performance per watt and better memory and I/O architectures, with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. Each Power10 core has doubled up on most functional units compared to its predecessor POWER9. Power10 is available in a range of IBM models and is supported by operating systems including Linux 5.9 and PowerVM. The branding is unusual in that its name is not capitalized like POWER9 and all other previous POWER processors.
