The IBM POWER9 Sforza is based on IBM® Power Architecture®,
IBM POWER9 systems target technical computing segments by providing superior floating-point performance and off-chip floating-point acceleration.
POWER9 systems, which consist of superscalar multiprocessors that are massively multithreaded, support Cloud operating environments.
With the Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI) attached, POWER9 systems offer a robust platform for analytics and big data applications.  

The POWER9 Sforza module has the following key characteristics: 50 mm x 50 mm, FC-PLGA, 4 DDR4, 48 PCIe Lanes and 1 XBus 4B
