Announced by Christian Jacobi at Hot Chips 2026, the 2nm processor features 11 cores running at speeds over 5.7 GHz. The architecture supports Native z/Architecture and AArch64, allowing KVM virtual machines to run S390X and Arm64 simultaneously. The chip includes a 432 MB virtual L3 cache, a 3.5 GB L4 cache, a dedicated I/O DPU, and hardware accelerators for AI and crypto. This development is critical as **IBM Z** and LinuxOne handle 68% of global production IT workloads, including 77 of the top 100 banks. By integrating Arm support into its enterprise hardware, IBM expands the versatility of its upcoming high-performance servers. ## Related news #LTO #HPE #IBM #QuantumCorporation September 3, 2026 at 08:27 PM ## [LTO Tape Shipments Reach 160.3 Exabytes in 2025]() > LTO Program providers report 160.3 exabytes shipped in 2025 as the roadmap expands to LTO-14 with 1,440TB of compressed storage capacity.
