Even in the teeth of the pandemic, IBM is expected to deliver its POWER10 processors in calendar 2021, continuing its drive to place a new generation of POWER microprocessor engines in the world’s cloud data centers. Cloud migrations, accelerated by the pandemic’s impact on business worldwide, are making it possible to deploy many types of CPUs and GPUs in the cloud infrastructure, which is dominated by servers based on Intel x86 processors.
