	IBM's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers \| The Register
		IBM yesterday held the Power Everywhere event in New York, which was a bit of a debutante ball for the upcoming Power5 chip and its Squadron line servers.
		While IBM knows it cannot have a Power processor in every device along that spectrum, it wants its fair share, and now, after its experience with Java and Linux, it wants to make the Power processor family an open standard that is easy to license and adapt for myriad uses.
		IBM was quite vague on how this Power chip community might work, but the company was clear about one thing - it would absolutely retain control over the Power instruction set to ensure that applications would remain compatible across the wide range of 32-bit and 64-bit Power processors.

	IBM POWER - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		POWER is a RISC instruction set architecture designed by IBM.
		In the early 2000's IBM submitted their proposal and received $53 million from DARPA to continue to participate in the challenge; in 2006 IBM received $244 million to build a petaflop computer for DARPA.
		Ravi Arimilli, IBM's chief microprocessor designer has said: "The POWER5 chip is more of a midrange design that can drive up to the high end and then down to things like blades." IBM servers built with the POWER5 processor offer virtualization features: logical partitioning and Micro-Partitioning.

	IBM's POWER play (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Earlier today in New York, IBM hosted a big media event--the first of its kind for the company--to unveil their latest plans for using the PowerPC architecture (now just known as POWER) to achieve world domination.
		The centerpiece of the event was IBM's announced "opening" of the POWER architecture, which is a combination of expansive licensing and a set of freely available tools for designing POWER-based microprocessors.
		IBM will still control the PPC instruction set, at least insofar as the various POWER derivatives are concerned, and the POWER derivatives will all build on IBM's basic designs.

	IBM sees Power processor as its next Linux \| InfoWorld \| News \| 2005-06-13 \| By James Niccolai, IDG News Service
		IBM hopes to do for its Power processor what it helped do for Linux: create a bigger market in which lots of vendors can play, and earn more money for IBM in the process.
		IBM's goal is to propagate Power in what it sees as faster-growing markets such as set-top boxes, gaming consoles and automotive applications, he said.
		Among them, IBM needs to come up with a governance model that "is not too bullying but keeps enough control on the tiller to stop Power going off at right-angles," he said.

	IBM cranks up speed of Power6 to 5.0GHz \| InfoWorld \| News \| 2006-10-10 \| By Ben Ames, IDG News Service (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		By doubling the frequency of its current Power5 design, IBM is swimming against the current of recent chip designs that sacrifice frequency for power efficiency.
		IBM is one of the few remaining alternatives to Intel in the market for 'big iron' servers used in high-end jobs like scientific computing, image processing, weather prediction and defense, said Jim Turley, principal analyst at Silicon Insider, in Pacific Grove, California.
		IBM upgraded its current midrange Unix servers in February from 1.9GHz to 2.2GHz Power5+ processors, targeting users of large databases, ERP (enterprise resource planning) and CRM (customer relationship management).
