Looks like IBM has made a new processor and its got twice the clock speed as the old Power5 and no one knows how they did it. This to me is really interesting.

It should a fabulous processor (for certain apps). They're are going to be late into the market though. And have to compete with 4-core x86 chips. and Suns 8core Niagra2.
