IBM Power3

The IBM Power3 processor was introduced in 1998 as a high-performance microprocessor designed for IBM servers and IBM workstations. It featured clock speeds ranging from 200 MHz to 450 MHz. The Power3 was based on IBM's POWER architecture and was manufactured using a 0.20-micron CMOS process. It incorporated advanced features such as out-of-order execution, multiple execution units, and a large on-chip cache. The Power3 was used in IBM's RS/6000 servers and workstations, offering significant computational power for scientific, engineering, and enterprise applications. Its performance and scalability made it a popular choice for demanding computing tasks, contributing to IBM's dominance in the high-end server market during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
