Processor Information
POWER10
Power ISA 3.1[1]
Process node Samsung 7nm[1]
Maximum cores 15 SMT8 / 30 SMT4
← POWER9 POWER11 →

While very little public information is currently available about POWER10, initial support being added to the QEMU emulator suggests that it will be implementing the yet (as of 2020-05) unreleased Power ISA 3.10 or later.[2]

Some details were revealed at the HotChips conference, see [3]

The POWER10 firmware contains two non-freedom blobs (OMI and PCIe) that are not present in POWER9[4].
