In response to this growing demand, IBM has expanded its server portfolio by introducing the IBM Power S1012.  ![IBM Power S1012](https://www.storagereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Storagereview-IBM-Power-S1012-tower-2-e1715209935783.png) IBM Power S1012 Tower is a 1-socket system powered by the Power10 processor, offering 3x performance per core compared to its predecessor, the Power S814. The S1012 is also available in a half-width 2U rack-mounted and a tower form factor, targeted to small and medium-sized organizations to run core workloads. ![IBM Power S1012 rack mount]() IBM Power S1012 Rack Mount Server With the edge in mind, Power S1012 includes four Matrix Math Accelerators per core to support AI inferencing at the point of data. This built-in AI acceleration allows users to run models at the point where data is being generated without the need to purchase GPUs. Organizations can gain real-time business insights by running these models close to where critical data is being generated and acting on these insights to gain a competitive advantage and improve customer, partner, and patient experiences.   ![]() IBM Power S1012 Overhead Since IBM Power10 processor-based servers can consolidate multiple workloads onto a single system, reducing the number of servers and lowering hardware, software, and maintenance costs will ultimately lower IT infrastructure costs. Built-in PowerVM enables multiple virtual servers to run on a single physical server, leading to better resource utilization and reduced energy consumption. Transparent memory encryption is a security feature available on all Power10 processor-based servers, including the Power S1012. It encrypts data in memory to protect it from unauthorized access and is designed to provide an additional layer of security for sensitive data without requiring changes to applications or operating systems. **Specifications** | Feature | Details | | --- | --- | | Model | IBM Power S1012 | | MTM | 9028-21B | | Sockets | 1 eSCM | | Socket Power Max | 240W (rack), 195W (tower) | | Module Core Counts | 8 (rack only), 3, 12 | | Core Count (SMT8) Max per system | 8 | | Memory Slots | 4 DDR4 ISDIMMs, memory buffers down on planar | | Memory Capacity | 256 GB | | Memory Bandwidth | 102 GB/s | | System PCIe Slots | 2x G5 x8 or G4 x16 direct, 1x G5 x8 direct | | Drives | 4 NVMe U.2, Optional RDX | **Availability** IBM Power S1012 will be available beginning June 14 through IBM and its certified Business Partners.
