IBM Unveils Power11 Chip And Servers For Ai Workloads
Techstrong.IT, July 9,2025
IBM has unveiled Power11, an upgrade to its Power series of servers and chips, offering design improvements that it claims streamline operations for the AI era. Among the key improvements: Power11 is the first Power server to support the IBM Spyre Accelerator, IBM's system-on-a-chip designed for AI-intensive inference workloads.
This is the first major upgrade to the Power series since the release of Power10 in 2020, which at the time the company claimed was 20 times faster at AI processing than the previous Power chip.
The Power11 is geared for hybrid deployment on-premises or in the cloud, with improved hardware and semiconductor performance. Power11 provides up to 55% better core performance compared with Power9. It has 45% more capacity, with higher core counts, in entry and mid-range systems, than Power10. IBM claims this will greatly support automation in a number of use cases.
