IO would say, yes to this question, because....... IBM’s Upcoming Z Series Chip Gains On-Chip AI Acceleration and New Name: Telum
In a major refresh of its Z Series chips, IBM is adding on-chip AI acceleration capabilities to allow enterprise customers to perform deep learning inferencing while transactions are taking place to capture business insights and fight fraud in real-time. IBM unveiled the latest Z chip today (Monday) at the annual Hot Chips 33 conference. This will be the first Z chip, used in IBM’s System Z mainframes, that won’t follow a traditional numeric naming pattern used in the past. Instead of following the previous z15 chip with a z16 moniker, the new processor is being called IBM Telum (telum is Latin for javelin). https://www.hpcwire.com/2021/08/23/ibms-upcoming-z-series-chip-gains-on-chip-ai-acceleration-and-new-name-telum/ DJ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
