10 Facts you need to know about the POWER9 S924 CPUs:

1. 1 or 2 sockets for 1 or 2 POWER9 Chips
2. Each POWER9 Chip has 8, 10 or 12 CPU cores
3. 2 socket servers have 16, 20 or 24 CPU cores
4. Each CPU core runs 8 programs at a time (SMT=8)
5. The server runs 192 programs at the same time
6. Each POWER9 chip has 8 billion transistors
7. Lithography 14nm – that really really small!
8. Compared to POWER8 - 40% to 47% faster
9. POWER9 chip run at 3.9 to 4.0 GHz
10. S924 = 4U + S922 = 2U (slightly less cores)
