It wasn't that long ago that a TeraFlop was the target.

Now they're aiming for ExaFlops.

I wonder why the charts show no systems with IBM’s new Power 10 CPU’s, only the prior Power 9’s?

Were told where I work if we replace our current Power 9 powered server with a similar size server with a Power 10 CPU and NVMe storage, our IPL time will go from 15 minutes to 35 seconds.

Of course the NVMe storage, successor to solid state, makes up a lot of that speed.
