Re: P9 CPW

[Richie Palma <rpalma@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is a blog post I put together for the performance increase from P8 to

http://arbsol.com/ibm-power-system-cpw-performance-data-power8-vs-power9-scaleout-models/

I am planning to add data for P7 as well for clients who are making the
jump from an E4D model Power7 to Power9.
