IBM has unwrapped three new POWER7-based blades, the PS700, PS701, and PS702. With four, eight or 16 cores per blade, the new POWER7 servers represent IBM's most scalable Power blades yet.

IBM is positioning the new line as its premier blades for workloads ranging from web-tier and SAP application servers to distributed databases in blade-based data centers for midrange-sized customers. IBM claims that the PS702 Express delivers 225% better performance per blade than the Oracle Sun Blade T6340, and 188% greater performance per blade than the HP Integrity BL860c Blade.
 
The new blades fit into an IBM BladeCenter E, T, S, H, or HT chassis. The boast four 64-bit 3.0 GHz POWER7 cores with AltiVec SIMD and Hardware Decimal Floating-Point acceleration. For detailed specs, check out http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/bladecenter/hardware/servers/ps700series/specs.html.
